Project Proposal (updated 05.0506.2009)
diagram thus far: [[Image:Sirena_ung_toaster.jpg]]
I'm not yet sure how I will determine the modes (when it is idle, toasting and done/running) I'm not keen on a temperature sensor... maybe infrared? I suppose it might also depend on whether there are LED's on the toaster. The mode for running can be determined via programming I'm sure (if after toasting mode -> idle then run "runaway code"). Must think more about sensors. In the meantime more random diagrams because I'm a very visual person and they help me brainstorm.
battery source: well a runaway toaster can't exactly be stuck on a cord right? well i suppose it can, but kind of defeats the point.
so things to keep in mind....http://www.donrowe.com/inverters/inverter_faq.html#what_it_does
also for running into walls potential resources or similar things...
