Portable clothing dryer.
Added 2019-06-14 18:13:00 +0000 UTCThis is quite a smart little device. It's a "travel dryer" for allowing single garments to be laundered and dried in your hotel room. Anyone who has spent time travelling with work will know that sometimes hotel laundries can be less than ideal.

The unit even seems to be designed not to burst into flames, which is nice. I can see myself actually using this for its shoe drying function.

Rather than an Idle loop, I would have done it interrupt based. Using the attiny13 as an example, it has pin change interrupts and using prescalersy ou can have timer interrupts spaced up to around 30 minutes. probably simpler than nested loops. Also if they care lower power as the chip wakes up for a few hundred microseconds a couple of time an hour when on and on interaction when off.

I think I will stick with my 90mm computer fans and home-made tubes that sit on top of the hot water cylinder until I need to dry my shoes.

2019-06-15 09:26:24 +0000 UTCOff topic here but I walked into where wife was watching soccer on TV today and she commented that Clives team was playing and I looked and it was Scotland playing Japan and then I saw Scotland was wearing pink uniforms. I told her I bet Clive would like that. :) (Hope you get well soon)

2019-06-14 23:30:41 +0000 UTCWe all criticise the non safety aspect of Chinese product in general, but their design and function in products never ceases to amaze me. Any ideas you can think of, the Chinese have already done it. Great tear down Clive
