So for my first homebrew project I built a temperature controller with an Inkbird ITC and a bunch of spare junk I had laying around.
I didnt take any pictures during the process, but its all self explanatory, and the wiring diagram is as the manufacturer specified.
I used an old cigar box I had figuring it would be just about the right size to fit all the electronics, front side is the first attachment
Second attachment is the back, Clockwise from top left: IEC power in, 120v out (fan), thermometer wire, Heat outlet, Cool Outlet (those last two will be labeled or colored at some point). I also after the picture was taken cut a small notch where the lid closes so the temp probe and wire can be tucked inside if for storage if the need should arise.
Also visible is my assistant Mari who could care less about this project since its inedible.
Lastly, are the internals.... When I thought that the cigar box would be big enough, it was BARELY big enough to fit all the pieces inside, it was a challenge reattaching the shield covering the ITC terminals. If I decide to add anything to this controller I may have to find another enclosure!
