Mom's Canning Timer — Configuration

Mom's Canning Timer is customizable directly from the GUI — no code editing required.

Change Timer Length

Each of the four burners has a Min spinbox. Set it to the number of minutes you want (1–180), then press Start. The timer counts down from that duration and the ring around it sweeps to show progress.

You can give each burner a different length, so you can can several items with different processing times at once.

Controls

Each burner has:

  • Start — read the spinbox value and begin the countdown.
  • Pause / Resume — toggle a running timer; the button label switches between Pause and Resume.
  • Reset — stop the timer and restore it to its full duration.

When a timer reaches zero, the ring turns red, the bell rings, and a popup tells you which burner is done.
