Bug: Out-of-Bounds Temperature Readings in MillHeat-ESPHome

The code block within the MillHeat-ESPHome repository, specifically in the mill.h file, is encountering an issue where temperature readings become out of bounds after reaching approximately 23 degrees Celsius. Additionally, it seems to "carry over" to 5 degrees. The problematic code snippet responsible for this behavior is as follows:

if (receivedChars[6] != 0) {
    this->current_temperature = (float)receivedChars[6]/10;
}

Missing Soldering Guide and Wiring Diagram for Second Generation Mill Heater

Issue Description

Issue Type: Enhancement

Repository: [Link to Repository]

Problem

The current state of the project repository lacks a comprehensive soldering guide and wiring diagram for the second generation mill heater project. This omission poses significant challenges for users and contributors who wish to build and understand the project.

Proposed Solution

We should prioritize the creation of a detailed soldering guide and a clear wiring diagram for the second generation mill heater. This documentation is essential for making the project more accessible, safer, and user-friendly.

Tasks

• Prepare a detailed soldering guide that includes step-by-step instructions for soldering various components.
• Create a clear and concise wiring diagram that illustrates the connections between components.
• Ensure the documentation is easily accessible and well-organized within the repository.
• Provide explanations, tips, and safety precautions for users.

Have you considered getting this into hfeasy?

Theres this project to flash hf-lpx modules to better integrate them with HA etc over here --> https://github.com/ljalves/hfeasy

Seems like it would be a nice approach to get these heaters working properly without having to replace the MCU. Did you test it before replacing thi hf-lpt120?
