Part type: LCD Display

Model: Hosyond 3.5-inch 320x480 IPS Capacitive Touchscreen

Utilization: The project’s display is powered by a Hosyond 3.5-inch IPS TFT touchscreen module, which was chosen for its vibrant 320x480 resolution and wide viewing angles moda possible by IPS technology. This screen, controlled by the ILI9488 display driver and the FT6336U capacitive touch controller, provides precise touch response and smooth visuals, enhancing user interaction.

Part type: Microcontroller

Model: ESP32-WROOM-32E

Utilization: The ESP32-WROOM-32E microcontroller module serves as the foundation for this project. The ESP32 was chosen for its high memory capacity as well as its advanced wireless capabilities. This model, which operates at up to 240 MHz across dual cores, can handle complex computations and seamlessly interface with multiple components.

Part type: Sensor Module + K-Type Thermocouple

Model: MAX6675 with SPI Interface + K-Type Thermocouple

Utilization: In this project, internal temperature is measured using the MAX6675 thermocouple module, which provides precise and reliable readings for monitoring and control. The MAX6675 works with a type-K thermocouple to measure temperatures up to 1024°C with 12-bit resolution, resulting in accurate and responsive thermal data.

Part type: Ambient Temperature Sensor

Model: DHT11

Utilization: The project uses a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor to monitor ambient conditions, providing an additional layer of environmental data to the system. The DHT11 is a solid, low-cost digital sensor that measures temperature and humidity. It outputs data in digital format, reducing noise and simplifying the interface with the ESP32.

Part type: Electric Burner Element

Model: MP21YA 8" Burner Element

Utilization: The project includes two MP32YA 8-inch stove burners, which provide a reliable heating solution for applications that require precise and consistent temperature control. Each burner has a power rating of 2100 watts, allowing for fast heating and consistent performance. The ESP32 controls the relays that turn the burners on and off based on real-time temperature readings, ensuring precise temperature management for optimal heating conditions.

Part type: Electronic Air Valve

Model: AC24V Stainless Steel 201 Air Valve Motorized

Utilization: The electric air valve is an essential component of the project’s airflow system, designed to manage air passage with precision and durability. This valve is suitable for high-temperature applications. It has an electronic mechanism that opens and closes automatically based on control signals from the ESP32, which adjusts the airflow in real time for maximum efficiency.

Part type: Airflow Blower

Model: Attwood 1733-4 Turbo 3000 Series

Utilization: The project incorporates the Attwood 1733-4 Turbo 3000 series in-line blower, which is meant to ensure that the heat stored in a designated box is effectively released to warm the ambient space. By blowing hot air through a copper tube, the blower improves heat transfer, making it an essential component of the heating system. It has an airflow capability of 300 CFM and can provide excellent ventilation when needed.
