I bought a temp controller of ebay and must say I am very very happy as it works like a charm, the PID is fully adjustable and even has a AI auto calibration mode. And.... it's less than $50 and comes with everything out of the box. Amazingly... it also eats any and every input voltage to run. It's very small to. Here's a little sample of it controlling my burnout oven: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD8gNmyflIU I bet this can save you a lot of work. _________________________________ Rainer M.
