| ==== PID Controllers ==== | [[resources:pid|PID Controllers]] |
| * [[http://www.sureelectronics.net/goods.php?id=421|Sure Electronics CD101]] - Cheap ($33 USD), K-type thermocouple only, Keith used this one in his [[http://www.neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=537|hotplate project]]. | |
| * [[resources:cd101|CD101 Wiki Page]] - More information I have compiled on this inexpensive PID controller. | |
| * [[http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=cn77000|Omega CN77343-A2]] - The PID controller I used. Expensive new, >$200! I got mine for $10 surplus. | |
| * Omega has cheaper PID controllers, but I haven't used any of them. Some are under $100. | |
| * [[http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=CN4000_SERIES|Omega CN4000 series]] - $69, Omega's lowest cost line, but still looks useful. | |
| * [[http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=CN740_SERIES|Omega CN740 series]] - $88, SSR drive (DC pulse) version is special order, has RS-485. | |
| * [[http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=106|Auber SYL-2362]] - $40, I have no experience with this one, but it is universal input and only 75mm deep (good for small boxes). Domestic shipping. | |

| Both Sure Electronics and Auber sell on eBay, and usually you can get a better deal on the auctions than through their webstore. | |
