Node.js for fun, profit and Whiskey
summary
A DIY continuous still called the Heising 330 runs 24/7 and replaces daily batch runs, using Node.js on a PCduino (Ubuntu) plus a custom PCB, over 10 digital temperature sensors, a barometer, 240V controllers and PID loops; Node 330 framework handles components, viewers, REST/Dweet export and web dashboards (Freeboard), with native C++ modules for timing-sensitive buses; the system runs in production in Washington and reliably avoids expensive 2–3 hour cold restarts. continuous distillation at small scale node 330 industrial framework
