Arduino and Silvia: Two Italians, One Tangled Affair
Tim's efforts, and inspiration were the spark I needed to take my Silvia along this road. He has been of invaluable help to me in this project, and well deserving of the public "thank you". Along the way, Karl Gruenewald, aka The WABE, was another who followed in Tim's footsteps and was tremendous help to me as well.
This is my first post about my progress on this project. Although I have almost completed the project at this point, I have resisted posting up until now, because I really wanted to wait until Silvia and Arduino were making beautiful espresso together before talking about my experiences. However, due to interest at CoffeeGeek's forum on espresso machine modifications and restorations (New Silvia Mods) I have decided that, at least at this time, I can post the list of parts that I used for this project and suppliers.
So.... for those interested what follows is a complete list of the parts used to date in my modification of Rancillio's Silvia. One last note... I did not include any mention of a project box, or enclosure for the electronic components. Tim choose an very nice installation internal to Silvia as shown on his blog. I will use an external installation for Arduino, patterned after the great work shown at A Tail About Silvia.
Also... a great site to check out for more references is the Arduino wiki CoffeeTronics
So here it is..... enjoy!

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Various gauges (AWG) of wire are needed for this project. For internal wiring (inside Silvia) I used temperature resistant 16 AWG Primary wire from an auto parts store. All of the ic wiring to Arduino was 22 AWG project wire from RadioShack. Lastly, I used 12 AWG wire from the Solid State Relay to Silvia’s heating element.
Also... the prices shown are what I paid, and it goes without saying that at this point they are only an indication as they are likely to change. Clearly too, the prices paid for those items I was able to find on eBay were just those paid for that particular auction. Any of the items purchased on eBay (and I was lucky to find what I needed when I needed it) can all be purchased retail if need be.
Good luck! ...........More to follow as the project is completed!
