I created a github repository for the project, something I haven't done for many years. I also started the code for the controller, something I haven't done for equally as long a time, trying to wake up the brain and remember how to code, I'm leaning on Arduino's flavor of C++ for this project just for ease of use and rapid development. I need to figure out how to reference the different libraries that I am using within the project, I thought I had seen a way to link a repository to files in an entirely different repository that did this very thing, however this is far above my knowledge on how github works, it will require some heavy investigation. For now I'll likely just pull the libraries from the directory and add it to the repository manually as I go. I'll add CAD, BOMs, and drawings in the future, however because it's form fit for this specific hot plate, the CAD isn't going to get you very far unless you have the exact model which is a Hamilton Beach Type ST30 Model 25490A: https://hamiltonbeach.com/dual-breakfast-sandwich-maker-25490 . I'm predicting that the code is going to be the longest task in this list, I'm fluent in hardware, my software abilities have atrophied over time, they are slowly coming awake.
