Damper-Control for ventilation exhaust system in realraum.
The state of three dampers (open / closed) and one fan (running / not running)need to be controlled electronically. Additionally two touchscreen interfaces shall be created to controll the damper states.
The three dampers control exhaust of :
- Lasercutter
- Atomic absorption spectrometer
- Laminaflow
The lasercutter is in a separate room with a separate touchscreen interface.
If a damper has been opened in one room, it can only be closed via the interface in that room. This is a safty measure so that dampers are not closed from a separate room by people unaware that the exhaust is still in use.
see this folder on how to connect stuff.

The µCs communicate via PJON protocol. At least one raspberry will communicate via usb-serial with one of the µC. Each µC can be a bridge between usb-serial and PJON-bus.
The dampers are controlled by cheap motors from neuhold. Their position is known via a photoelectric fork and a lasercut disk with slots.
