First off, thanks to everyone on this forum for all the information. I've been reading for countless hours and the information is priceless.
So I'm planning a simple e-kettle to start with. It's really not much different than a eBIAB setup. Power will be supplied by a GFI spa panel, typical power cords. The kettle will also be the typical setup, element, weatherproof box, rtd temp. sensor, etc.
The real meat of the project is in the control box. The idea I have is to build more of an antiquated looking control panel. Part art, part function.
Here's the list of parts I'm thinking of using. Let me know if see anything that won't work.
Switches
Indicator Lights
Components
Connections
Misc.
Terminal strips
Fuses and fuse holders
For the wiring diagram (I could use a little help here) I'm thinking something along the lines of voltin's setup
The differences would be the addition of the E-stop, different switches, and indicator lights.
Any advice or help on this project would be greatly appreciated.
