LCD Vacuum Sensor

Every fusor and fusion system seems to need a vacuum. This area is for detailed discussion of vacuum systems, materials, gauging, etc. related to fusor or fusion research.

No matter how good we get at coding. Unforeseen errors, idiot mistakes and the real world typically demand tweaking, especially when we think we have it done perfectly. Tweaking can turn out to be an on going process over time.

I am glad you are finally finishing your work here. Once functional, you have a skill set few ever attain. Turning an idea into a real world device, via study of principles, application of programming skills and practicing the art of electronic interfacing to the real world returning data sought in a readable, recordable form. Yes, and understanding the math needed to be performed on the electrical input and keeping track of the units within the math...This math is rarely difficult, but programming from real world electrical pickups and translating it to good output data, demands some math be performed within the processor.

After a long time away from programming in robotics, I was determined to tackle the Arduino environment when I retired in 2014. That goal has been achieved.

Fusion is the energy of the future....and it always will be
The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment
