Guys,
I've stumbled on this forum after initially looking to build a PID controller. Wow, this thing is amazing. Thank God my dad is an electrical engineer, and is handy soldering.
I have 2 questions before I decide to go and do this:
1) Bryan--I saw in some posts some discussion about adding capacitors on the thermistor inputs and some others. That got me thinking and wondering if there was a HM V5 on the horizon from a hardware perspective? HM 4 has been out since September, and the last thing I want to do is order all my parts only to see my work obsoleted in a few weeks/months. If you could share your thoughts about the future (on the HW side, the Todo list shows SW future)
2) Total Cost: How much has it costed people to build this? When I add in component costs, shipping, case, probes, etc I see that the total cost would be up around $190 or so. Is that in the ballpark or am I way over/under? Just want to get some input based on other people's experiences.
Thanks in advance.
Matt
