But it turns out he was serious, as he was producing about 180 gallons of biodiesel per week; he had already purchased a DL06 PLC to use as his automation controller.
Sam explained, "At that point my processor was much easier to use than most other homemade systems, but it was still very time consuming. Right from the start, I knew I would have to automate the processor because high school was going to take up most of my time." (read more...)
