well its that time again when when we all start dusting off the incubators again. i was looking at the 80 egg one i have as its home made and started looking of ideas to improve it.
does anyone here have an electricial back ground or understanding.
the idea is this, for my home brew boiler we use a pid temp controller, similar to this one, with a relay and then a heater , ok so its a tad hot for eggs but when we tried it at the lower temp it worked well enough, just needed a heater cable rather than a kettle elements or two.
whats your opinions on it basic ideals

now for my home brew set up i use all but the heater cable and it is perfect for temp controlling. i want to move away from light bulbs completely and something digital controlled would be great to have,
