    LinkMeter v2 Homebrew BBQ Controller - Part 2

    Thats what I just did...ordered the pre-crimped ones. The price isn't bad and will save time (and bad connections!) I used some IDSS series IDC cables from samtec, just cut them up into the right widths. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> We think alike, was considering getting some of the pre-crimped wires...

    LinkMeter v2 Homebrew BBQ Controller - Part 1

    I built one using conduit, the advantage is that you can drill a round hole rather then dealing with square holes and sheet metal bending (an art which clearly others in this forum are way better then I am at it!). Here's a link to a post in another twbb forum...

    LinkMeter v2 Homebrew BBQ Controller - Part 1

    If anyone is looking for another fan design, here's one I did last spring using conduit: http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/...301049616#4301049616 Standard Digikey fan and a tube of High temp gasket for bonding the plastic conduit to metal conduit, although the temp at that location is pretty...

    new temp controller

    I haven't had a problem either and have quite a few overnight briskets using this TC. Here's the other thread with more info: http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/...70072103/m/315106016 Neil

    Awesome, Inexpensive DIY ATC

    I updated the fan to a 6.7 cfm blower from digi-key. It worked really well. I connected it to some 1 1/4 conduit with a few PVC electrical connectors. Here's some pix: I updated AJ's schematic with my changes (Master switch, fan on light) I set it up...

    Awesome, Inexpensive DIY ATC

    I built mine, here's pictures of what I've got. Unfortunately, I wasn't getting enough air flow, so I'm switching to a blower setup. I'll post info about that next. But I separated the fan box from the controller, and added a fan-on led, which makes testing very easy. A...

    Awesome, Inexpensive DIY ATC

    I saw similar blower fan/dog food dish setups on the web. I find working with sheet metal to be difficult (at least making it look decent) without some better tools. I'm pretty good with electronics, plastic and wood, which is what I liked about AJ's solution. I'm using a smaller box which is...

    Awesome, Inexpensive DIY ATC

    The sketch is perfect, thanks for posting it! I was toying with the idea of putting a 1k or 10k pot on the fan to control the speed. Do you think some sort of fan speed control is worthwhile? Slow the fan down = less overshoot when bringing the temp up. Neil <BLOCKQUOTE...

    Awesome, Inexpensive DIY ATC

    Thanks for the reply Jeff - After going back to their site and downloading the manual I figured out which model AJ was referencing. The one you linked to is an AC version, below is the 12v DC version: http://www.auberins.com/index....ath=1&products_id=83 Based upon the circuit of the 12v...

    Awesome, Inexpensive DIY ATC

    Very cool project! I'm in the process of putting one of these together from mostly scraps as you have done. Can you post a link to the pid you used? Did you need a separate ssr for it as well? Also, which TC did you finally end up using (link?)? Thanks! Neil
