[oldrodder]

Does any one on this Forum make PID's to sell? If you do, please shoot me a PM.
Thanks,
Mike

I don't sell them, but if you send the bits and pieces I will put it together for you.

oldrodder...I've been researching this myself and found lots of PID stuff on ebay and amazon

The hardest thing I found to source was the box to put it all in. Ended up using a 9mm pistol can.

They are called "Project Boxes" and can be found/ordered at any electronic shop.

They're easy to put together

 

[yomomma]

You should bring the thermocouple wire all the way to the paid, through thermocouple wire.

You will loose some accuracy.

When using a PID, do you put the pots control full on or can you leave the rheostat down a little?

 

[yomomma]

Yes, full on PID does all the controlling.
