Popcorn-Popper -> Coffee Roaster Mod

the-few writes "Tom Gramilas (Toms-roaster@columbus.rr.com) created a computer-controlled coffee roaster using an old West Bend Poppery I popcorn-popper (popular among home roasters with a modding mindset), a few thermocouples, and an old DOS computer. The code he wrote to control it is available from his site on request, and uses a flexible control algorithm to control roasting segments. Pictures and roasting profiles included."

    I had to kill Safari too, I've never seen a popup storm like that since I used IE. Thanks, I had almost forgotten about tubgirl.

    You run Safari without the popup blocking option turned on!? :-)

    Didn't have a problem with it and I use Firefox. I just hit the Stop button, then went back twice.

    The popup blocking is on, gnaa's site gets around it. Ditto for Firefox. Once I disabled javascript and tried it again though, the popups didn't load.
