I'm trying to figure out the electric for my rims tube and can't figure out the difference between ssr's and scr's. I always thought ssr was just an electronic version of a mechanical relay. on or off I thought. But reading through the different rims threads it looks like the ssr's are being "modulated" with a pid controller. I'm looking at using one of the auber pid's with the ramp/soak features so I can still do step mashing if I want. How are the pid's doing the modulation with the ssr's? Are they just switching them on/off really fast, or is the variable voltage output of the pid allowing the ssr to vary it's output voltage. Can someone give me a clue and set me straight?
Thanks,
Walter
