what sort of things are involved in a controller.&nbsp; You&#8217;ll see people connecting random looking electronics to popcorn poppers and more times than not various light switches and wall dimmer switches and little explanation as to why or what is used.&nbsp; Sometimes you see projects by those that have welding and metal fabrication skills and other times someone converts every day objects into BBQ powered drum roasters.&nbsp; Most of these systems connected together are quite manual while others show real skill in automation.<\/p>\n<p>These pages will serve as a list of some of the
