Yoghurt maker upgrade
Yogurt maker is basically thermostatic tank with low-power electrical heater and coundown timer. But Chinese producers tends to add whistles to the simplies things like this one so I decided to make some upgrades after purchase: 1. Replaced 100 Ohm resistor in the buzzer circuit with 10 kOmh to limit (yes, in almost 100 times) sound volume. I'm OK if I able to hear voice of my yogurt from 10 feet away only, but not OK if it wakes half of the building. 2. Added 2 missing LEDs (Cost reduction? 2 LEDs, really?) in hope it will show when heater is powered. No clear picture yet as it seems that left LED turned on permanently when right one when tank is "armed". 3. Screws with head for triangle screwdriver replaced with usual Philips screws.
