Welcome back to the second part of our DIY Diesel Heater Thermostat series! In this installment, we'll dive into the heart of the project—the Arduino code that transforms your heater into a smart, automated system. Feel free to explore, learn, and adapt this code to suit your needs. However, before we proceed, a stark reminder: use the code at your own risk, and I assume no responsibility for any consequences that may arise.
