# CrustCraft
This project aims to replace the existing thermostat of a G3 Ferrari Pizza Oven with an ESP‑chip based control system, thereby improving precision, responsiveness, and overall temperature regulation.
Happy baking! 🍕🛠️
## Prerequisites
| **Item** | **Description** |
|------- |------- |
| ESP‑32 Dev Board | Any WiFi‑enabled chip with at least 4 GPIO pins will do |
| MAX6675 K‑Type Thermocouple | Only a K‑type thermocouple can withstand the temperatures required |
| 5V Relay Module | Atleast 10A |
| Power Supply | 5V / 2A AC-DC adapter |
| Connecting Wires | Silicone heat resistant wiring |
## Clone the Repository
```
git clone https://github.com/vincvdwal/crust-craft/
cd crust-craft
```
The repo contains the following layout:
## Installing PlatformIO
### VS Code Extension
Open VS Code.
Go to Extensions → Search for “PlatformIO IDE” → Install.
Restart VS Code → PlatformIO panel appears on the left.
## Project Configuration
Open the project:
Platform Command
VS Code Double‑click `crust-craft` folder or open > File → Add Folder to Workspace.
Edit platformio.ini (shown below – you can adjust as needed):
```ini
[env:esp32dev]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
; Optional environment for ESP8266
[env:esp8266]
platform = espressif8266
board = nodemcuv2
framework = arduino
```
## Building the Firmware
Click the “Build” icon (checkboard) in VS Code’s PlatformIO toolbar.
The output will be displayed in the Build Log pane.
Success → you’ll see: Build Done and an `firmware.bin` file under `.pio/build`.
## Uploading to the ESP via VS Code
Press “Upload” (right‑hand arrow icon) in the PlatformIO bar
→ It will compile (again if necessary) and flash to the device.
## Serial Monitor
Click the “Monitor” icon (plug + arrow) or `Ctrl+Alt+M`
## Custom Configuration – Wi‑Fi Credentials
The firmware stores your Wi‑Fi SSID & password in `secrets.h`.
Copy the example or create a new file
```bash
cp src/secrets.example.h src/secrets.h
```
And replace the following with your Wi-Fi credentials
```
// Replace with your network credentials
const char *ssid = "WIFI_SSID";
const char *password = "WIFI_PWD";
```

### Display
In the long run a capacative LCD screen might be used in addition to the WebSocket connection
