Lavarropas

This document contains Arduino code for controlling a dishwasher using relays and monitoring water temperature with an NTC thermistor. It includes functionalities for filling, draining, washing, rinsing, and drying dishes, along with a display for cycle time and water temperature. The code is designed to run on an Arduino Uno and utilizes an LCD for user interface and an RTC for timekeeping.
