Hobby Gaggia Temperature Controller and automation

My projects
1

This is just for hobby so bare with me:

First some technical stuff:

  • Framework Arduino
  • Build tool PlatformIO
  • Uses LVGL from platformIO
  • Uses a patched (very little changes) of lvgl_port_esp32 with SPI from lvgl
  • Builds de UI for desktop aswell as embedded (see native directory)
  • Uses fuzzy logic instead of PID…for fun…
  • ‘Scriptable’ with a super simple script language

Repository:


Code needs to be cleaned up still. Not yet tested on the Gaggia but well tested on my test stand.

Reason:
I like programming, this is just hobby and I didn’t see a version yet of a gaggia controller with a fancy screen :slight_smile: like teh way I want it…

What does it do?
Will keep the gaggia better on temperature and allows pre-infusion. Apart from that it will show brew time and allows to create different recipes for your brews, including different temperature profiles.

Love to hear some comments or questions!

Very good, thanks for sharing.
Please do not forget to share the schematic diagram.

Yes, I will absolutely do that, I am just tying up some things… cleaning up some code and make it ready.
It’s our only coffee machine so I need to make sure it will work :slight_smile:

Schematic added on the github repository.

I think I should just go ahead and make a PCB while I am at it… I am a first time kicad user so I hope it looks good enough…
