A while back I had the opportunity to use a relatively new program one of the roaster manufacturers has as an option and was unimpressed by basically every aspect of it. I did, however, pop open the electrical box and took some pictures of the item numbers of the hardware side of that so I could look up the manuals. Now that I've done so I'm especially confused because as near as I can tell it should be possible for this to operate with much better performance than I observed.
On the plus side, it would be a relatively trivial hardware modification to make the hardware work with Typica and more to the point it would be a relatively trivial modification to Typica (and one that I've had on my wish list for a while) to get the system working without needing that hardware modification. The major pain point would be the initial configuration. Kind of wish I had more regular access to one as this would be a fun thing to hack on and build new features with.
That said, if I owned one, the stock software would have to be banished. It's not good and frankly I'm confused as to why they'd even spend the time building this, though not surprised as they've done several of these NIH software projects over the time that Typica has existed that have always come out later than planned with feature sets that completely miss the point of what people want.
