Simple Pid Control Panel for Rims

[Tonypr24]

Ok..I Setup my RTD to my pid last night and I'm get power to my element now but it keeps going on and off the whole time. I think I just have to auto tune but at least I'm getting power to it now.
Thanks for all the help

Great. Yep, run auto tune and the PID will learn your system and you'll be good to go. Glad it's working.

Hey guys
I just finished my control panel and I'm planning on brewing this weekend but I'm a little nervous about the GFCI wiring in my house. I know I have a GFCI receptacle outlet in my kitchen that I plan to plug in my control panel. My question is..is that enough for protection? Should I have installed GFCI outlets in my control panel?

The GFCI outlet you are using is enough. It covers anything downstream. Redundant GFCI don't provide any additional protection as you only have to trip the power once to stop it.
