Finished with the shower controller!

Since my last post, I basically gave up for a few months. Then my friend Drex asked me if I wanted to work on electronics projects with him on Sundays. I said yes. It was the push I needed to start again!

I became newly excited because I would get to show him what I had done. Then one day, we talked about the issue of taking temperature data and how to make the device react to it in a way that didn't suck. Turns out he spent his senior year of college doing exactly that! In two weeks, he helped me get it to react in a way that worked. And it actually works!! It could be improved in some ways, but the gap between not working at all and working enough to actually use was bridged!

All that's left to do is improve power usage and to make it compensate faster. That will slowly happen as I use it more.
