Afternoon all!
So am (still) kicking around building a brutus, and am (still) amassing a cost for this to present to SWMBO for final budget approval. Nearly there, tho.
When it comes to controlling ye olde solenoid valves though, I've got a bit of a question. I know the Love TS-13010 are the controllers of choice for the Brutus, $65 a pop from Dwyer, plus shipping. Fair enough.
However.
My evil cohort has suggested that
a PID like this one would be able to do the same thing, as well as displaying the target AND current liquid temps (which I'd find handy!), for almost half the price?
I've found tons of threads of folks using these for e-keggles, but nobody (as yet) for a Brutus. I'm assuming (as usual) that the draw from a solenoid valve like the STCs or ASCOs wouldn't require the use of a SSR either?
