myDEWCONTROLLERPRO2
A DIY project for a very sophisticated, feature rich two-channel automated dew controller, based on Arduino Nano.
The controller can be operated via a Windows or Linux program, using USB or Bluetooth. An Android BT app is also available.
Once configured, the controller can operate stand alone without the need for user intervention or connection to a computer.

OVERVIEW
This is a very powerful, feature rich, DIY Dew Controller based on an Arduino Nano, PCB or bread-boarded and enclosed in a project hobby box. The dew controller provides numerous features not currently found in many professional systems on the market today.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Supports standard dew straps such as DEW NOT via PWM output, 12VDC
- Two independent controlled dew channels each with their own temperature probe DS18B20
- LCD1602/LCD2004/OLED display of all settings
- Optional remote control and logging via USB
- 12VDC @ 5-8A PSU required
- Reverse voltage protection on 12VDC input
- Each dew channel powered by MOSFET transistors for greater effeciency (2.5A)
- Dew channels are PWM adjusted depending upon dew point/algorithm
- Controller automatically adjusts power to dew straps (0, 10%, 20%, 50%, 75%, 100%) as required
- Supports manual override switches to boost PWM power to 100% for each dew channel
- Supports remote control via serial port or Windows Application
- Temperature/Humidity Sensor DHT22 (support for DHT11, DHT21 and DHT22) or HTU21 I2C
- LEDS indicate if PWR is on to dew channel (brightness indicates % pwr applied)
- 12VDC cooling fan support, speed PWM controlled with RGB LED indicator
- Key session state values saved in EEPROM for later retrieval
- Three tracking algorithms, DewPoint, Ambient and MidPoint with adjustable band offsets
- Optional data logging of parameters to CSV file
- Optional calibration for each channel temperature probe
- Optional remote control via Bluetooth for LCD1602/LCD2004
