Arduino self-brews espresso with Gaggiuino Mod machine

Working with temperature (through a thermocouple for fixed temperature monitoring), stress (utilizing a stress sensor mid pump and boiler) and steam (additionally managed by the thermocouple), it helps you to set ‘roast profiles’ again on the Arduino to precisely management your alternative of brew.

Sure, it’s totally concerned mission, not for the faint-hearted. However it is vitally skilled within the element of its management, with a pleasant touchscreen show. It’s primarily based on an Arduino Nano, however that would be the most simple part within the design, I imagine…

There’s, nonetheless, a Wiki Web page and a Discord group to assist help these on the Gaggiuino Mod path to self-brewed espresso.

Due to the Arduino workforce for highlighting this one, which is a free, open supply mission created by Zer0-bit. Yow will discover it on GitHub right here.

They write:

“The {hardware} required for the Gaggiuino improve consists of an Arduino Nano board, a 2.4” Nextion touchscreen LCD, a thermocouple, a solid-state relay (SSR), a stress sensor, and a dimmer module. Just a few 3D-printed enclosures and mounts assist to safe these elements. After performing this improve, you’ll get a ton of nice options. These embody: steam management, sensor graphs, guide circulate management, a descale cycle, an auto shot timer, person profiles, and a pleasant UI to entry and configure every part. Due to the brand new {hardware}, these features all function with nice accuracy and precision, so you may dial in your good brew and get the identical outcomes each morning.”

The estimated value is ‘beneath $200’ and fewer than 12 hours of labor.
