I also have an external PID temperature controller, use it on a modified laminator to make PCB's (Prees'N'Peel). The problem is you can not set the temperature via external means. It does have an alarm out that could be used to tell EMC2 that the temp is out of range but that is inadequate for this project.
The micro solution is just a neat way to get analog inputs into EMC2 without having to purchase a more advanced I/O card. I have heaps of MSP430's kicking around (and lots of experience with them) so that is why I am not using a Arduino type board. As for 'volunteering' to fix the documentation, I class my self as a newbie in the EMC2 arena and fell a little apprehensive in changing documentation. And to be honest, I am not even sure how to go about correcting the documentation but am willing to learn.
