Very nice Your drawing looks Greek to me

I'll be anticipating the pictures.

I haven't put mine together yet since I'm still finishing the smoker itself. The wiring it second nature to me...I just need to find a larger box tomorrow. I'm wondering if those switching power supplies stay regulated without a load. I know computer power supplies don't (they go into protection mode as soon as they aren't loaded). I'm using an old wall wart. All wall warts have a resister built-in to keep the rectifier/filter circuit under control without external load.

I used at Meanwell RS 25-12 and yes power is constant even without load. I wanted the 15 watt unit but they where out of stock.

How about "R2-BQ"?
Randy

Oh, that got my attention. I thought my build would be my first post, but this brought me out.

Have just finished my first UDS after reading this entire thread and have named my build R2-BQ since it's getting painted to look like an R2 unit.

Very nice looking build there.

I keep thinking that if I continue to hold on to this stuff it will build itself. lolol

I hope it will because I'm lost otherwise.

Geez looks like your halfe way there Dr KY.....

Dr_KY · Apr 10, 2011

Thanks
I have three or four other probes, a box, spools of wire multi connector ( the block with all the screws on it lol) and access to a fan or two and no clue as tow what I'm doing. Do you think that if I put everything in a magicians hat that with a al-la-kazzam anything will happen? HAHAHAHA1

if you dont have the instructions to the controls try googlie for them and they should tell you pretty much everthing you need to knoe as to wiring and programming

mgp,

Would you mind sharing the part details you used for the PID, fans, thermocouples, etc. Don't need the switches, fuses etc.

mgp03051 · Apr 13, 2011

I will post soon my computer crashed souls be up and running by this W/E
