A compact device that uses a data tape, LDTC, and HSWC to output a precise temperature. Spark the + and - buttons to increase or decrease the temperature of the plate.

    Thanks! I am planning on a v2 that might use subframe and allow for more precise control of temperature. Whether or not it'll use tape I can't say, but I have seen some memory devices that use subframe PSTN that I might look at.

    @RebMiami I wasn't criticizing your build and I think it's a very simple and elegant way to control temperature (as a matter of fact I used something pretty similar to make variable temperature proton beams), I'm just spreading some information about how serialization works. ;-)

    I know about the technical details (like 0x10000000; I'm making a serializing element in a Lua mod) but the tape seemed like the simplest option for now. Being able to change it in more precise increments would require an entirely new design that I'm planning on experimenting with in the future.

    You don't have to record the heat values, you can set them manually by changing the FILT ctype. The formula is ctype = absolute_temp + 268435456 (hexadecimal 0x10000000). The temperature is in 1 degree steps and has a -0.15 C offset.Example: if you want a temperature of 100 C the FILT ctype becomes 373 + 268435456 = 268435829

    Yep, I recorded all the heat values on a memory tape and the device can read them and heat up accordingly.

    What is this? Memory controlled hot plate? Anyways its cool so +1

    Note: The temperature-to-pressure demo only works if the temperature is below about 230 degrees, so try warm materials like MWAX or LRBD

    really nice (+1)

    I might add some more demoes that show off the principles behind how it works. Serialization is a very cool and underappreciated aspect of this game outside of the high-tech creations
