Abstract
An improved controller for a feed grain conditioning device is characterized by a microcontroller which operates valve actuator relays to control the delivery of moisture to feed grains in order to adjust the grain moisture content to a desired level. A software program controls the operation of the microcontroller. It includes a main program affording user interface and an interrupt program used to calculate the moisture flow necessary to attain the target moisture content in accordance with the moisture content of untreated grain and with the grain mass flow.
