Building a PID controller box - Part 2

Problem solving and test runs, ... wrapping up some over heating issues and getting ready for its first run with a real wash.

Love your work

[@AngryParrotDistillery]

Thanks Dan, You've been at this craziness longer than I have! 🤣

[@danssv8]

Nice set-up of controller, I'm waiting to re doing mine to scr too

[@mcfuckits]

How about adding an LED light to the pizo buzzer, so when its disengaged you still have an indication without all the noise.

[@AngryParrotDistillery]

Way I run it nowdays is I just use the PID and alarm to let me know I'm up to the ballpark for taking foreshots. I run it manually after that.

Nice clean layout on the box - looking forward to see it running a distillation.

[@AngryParrotDistillery]

Hey fella, Thanks! Already videos up of me doing a full run with it. :o) After 5-6 months of running it tho' I'm kinda leaning towards a simpler solution with power regulators and no PID hehe, ... got the parts - will be building a simpler box like that soon.

[@BeardedBored]

Really cool! Looking forward to seeing a full run:-)>

[@AngryParrotDistillery]

Thanks fella! Uploading vids of a booze run now. :o)

[@Samandcocoa]

came out great. nice unit

[@AngryParrotDistillery]

Cheers Kev! - Having unfettered access to that laser cutter makes life easier!

[@Samandcocoa]

i bet. sorry havnt talked in a while. had a bit of an issue and been in and out of the hospital. but should be good to go soon

[@AngryParrotDistillery]

Will post a vid in the next day or so of using the whole rig to make some actual "juice". I had an 80L charge in it running at 10L/hour production for a stripping run! :o)

[@AngryParrotDistillery]

Hope you're doing ok now fella, - will catch-up for a yak in the next day or so.

[@danssv8]

How many elements and what was the watts of them??

[@AngryParrotDistillery]

Heya Dan, 2x elements out of this box - both 3kW. Heaps of grunt for stripping runs. Happy Distilling!
