Calculating ratios in my head when mixing/diluting chemicals in the darkroom is hard, so I want to build a box to do it for me.

Project Status

Overview

  • Input is rotary encoders
  • Output is 7 segment LED displays
  • Unit will have a light sensor and dim the displays so they're safe when the lights are turned off
  • "Fields" are:
    • Ratio Component A
    • Ratio Component B
    • Value Component A
    • Value Component B
    • Total Value
  • All fields will be settable, you set the ratio components and either one value component or the total, and it figures out the other two values
  • Should have a way to round the values too? Mixing 67.2ml of liquid is a pain
    • If it has a way to round, it might need an Error % display or something like that, since it would no longer be exact?
