I had always envisioned upgrading this simple design at some stage to intergrate a timer amongst other things. The prototype still required the use of a standard household power timer to ensure it ran for 60 minutes, meaning something else to go wrong, and relying on another device.
Given the downfall of the prototype, time ineffective to fix, the inherent flaws and refining this design into a working stable VERSION 1 of the stirrer control, and my original intentions to improve and upgrade the design anyway.. It was time!
It was time to go back to development, eliminate flaws in the printed circuit design, integrate the improvements, and create VERSION 2!
It was going to be an exhaustive process, time consuming, and the end result more complicated, sophisticated, and expensive than what VERSION 1 could be manufactured for, but it seemed the best solution to get a working commercial product available for increasing interest and potential clients.
And so finally it came to fruition.. VERSION 2..
