Add LCD/OLED display support #21

Open kloon opened 4 years ago

kloon commented 4 years ago

Add support for LCD/LED displays with menu functionality. This will be used for basic configuration and information display.

Information like counting when the button is pressed ex. first button press 3 bottle, second press 6 bottle and so on. Then you dont have to count by your self 💯

what about using an inductive sensor for counting cans and measuring when there are 3 total so you're not potentially missing one can on a fill....

Cans are aluminum, wont register on inductive sensor. Will need an optical one.

I hate to say it man - but that's not the case. IMG_7310

This is on my machine at work... and these are the sensors.

I love this project so much and it has such potential! you guys are doing an amazing job!!! I run the brewery I work at and we have a canning line so I'd be more then happy to help with design or technical questions. I'm also working on my own integration of this so I can document and provide support for my iteration. I sent Kloop and email - if you DM me I can send you a copy.

One would think it won't but it actually does. 3D Printers use the same inductive sensors with aluminum heat beds and it works 100%.

Opened a new issue to take a look #26 and for further discussion.
