En kul grej som jag hittatde var en "Gasifier Control Unit"!
The GEK GCU is an open source sensing and control board specifically designed for the types of instrumentation and automation problems encountered in biomass thermal conversion. The board is designed for research applications which need integrated instrumentation and datalogging. It is equally relevant for industrial applications where sensor input is used to control various motors, solenoids, fans and other control devices. In both cases, our goal is to provide the type of expert sensing and control solutions usually only found for 10s of thousands of dollars through scientific or industrial equipment suppliers.

P.S. I am _really_ looking forward to browsing your source code. There's even a chance I could contribute, too! (will you be putting it up on sourceforge, or something like that?)
I'm not sure how much source code there's gonna be to browse in the near future (maybe you can help with that?), but yes, it will all be on sourceforge.
Jag begriper inte mej på elektronik, men den ser ju intressant ut!
Ni som kan er elektronik; Hur bra/avancerad är denna och vad ser ni för användningsområden förutom att styra/övervaka ett gengasaggregat?

PS. Jag har börjat leta en bra bensinmotor i alla fall.... Alltid något.
