Icecap's projectes

Here i will try to describe some of the projects i have been and is involved in.

Approx. 1985 i was contacted as 'Hasle Klinker' ("Hasle tiles") on Bornholm (in Denmark) was about to modernize their laboratory. They needed a controller to their 3 electrical testovens where you could enter curves of the type: "alter temp x°C/hour to y°C, hold temperature in z minuts...". We solved this in a way that actually meant that we did not need to make manuals or instruct the personel, 3 hours before we were there to show them how it all worked they started it up, programmed the curves and maked the system work, all without problems. From that day and up to the closure of the factory in 1997 this systemet ran without any mishaps.

P-counter system for Safe Traffic, installed among other places in Täby centrum. The system counts incoming and outgoing vehicles om 10 p-lots and sends out information on free spaces if needed. It also collects statistics by the hour and has a easy MMI with a LCD-manel + 4 buttons for adjusting different parameters. It can communicate with sub-units if needed, in the case of Täby Center it's done by radio.

Speed measuring system , primarily used by education centers, a wireless version is made too, Bohlin Racing is using one due to it's mobility.

Graphisc LED-modules with 16 colors which can be stacked to larger sizeses while still having 18-24 FPS uppdate speed which allows for moving pictures.

LED character modules, used as standard in many of Safe Traffic's signs. Has build-in charactergenerator and adjustable intensity in 127 levels.

The controller in Janfire's latest wood pellets burner 'Janfire NH', it's a ongoing project. I have designed schematic, PCB as well as done the program that controls the burner and i'm doing some further development. As the projectet is active i can give no further information on this.

Torsby waterplant has a number of PLC's from Telefrang (SioX-modules) that regulates pumps, filters etc. I have made the programs for all of those PLC.

I have also quite some experience with the use of GSM/GPRS modems as well as landbased modems and even radiocommunication with short range modules.

In many projects it has been nessecary to kommunicate between the microcontroller and a PC and i have therfore made PC-programs for that purpose. The need for communication could be the transfer of statistic datas, adjustment of parameters or likewise, it has also been modem-contact and such.
