Control Unit

Control Unit Temperature Control

This was our first "orchestrator" for the plasma device.
Purpose was simple: log signals (pressures, currents) and control gas flow.

The "box" evolved for more than 6 years. Along the way, both I and my students learned a lot.
But now the time came to bring some sanity into this jungle—mostly because just turning a display on or off shifts the signals.
Or maybe simply because the jungle grows.

In any case, proper ground and EMI proofing are now essential. Even if all you want is to check how pressure evolves over the weekend after a vent.

In this folder I’ll collect the modules we used in our Control Unit, the current state, and the updates.
Maybe one day this will become a well-managed, easy-to-maintain, well-documented unit. For now—an overview and the component list.
