I didn't trust myself to build a controller... soooooo
I had someone build me one
Right now it's only controlling one blanket (Hi-Heat) but eventually will control two..
and he put some nice strange plugs on the blanket so I could unplug it if need be and wired up the thermocouple and god my garage is so dirty compared to everyone elses.. do you guys clean up before you take pictures ?
I need to get the controller mounted up on the wall :o

These cheap PID controllers do a pretty good job of auto-tuning (not the T-pain variety). I let mine auto-tune itself and it gets to temp quick with no oscillation.Jekul wrote:I don't clean up, I just find the one place in my garage where I can't see the mess
By they way, very nice controller box. Will your buddy be helping you program it as well?

Yes, I do... otherwise OSHA would pay a vistSkammy wrote:... and god my garage is so dirty compared to everyone elses.. do you guys clean up before you take pictures ?.. :o
Having a woodworking shop and ski building shop in the same space... well it can get out of control. I always do a major cleaning before layups and pics.

and he's a guy I found online that was building cnc controllers and I asked him to build me a temp controller for two blankets and it turned out really nice
Wow, that turned out really nice! Mine's a box of bees...Omega 2733 PID controllers with 2 SSR's and the wiring, well, I can't look...I finally just slapped the top on it and mounted it, hopefully it'll never have to be opened in front of any of you
