Hi,
I am working on a project where I have to make a handheld device wich contains up to a maximum of 4 AAA/AA batteries.
The device has to be heated to around 60-65°C and stay at this temp (great accuracy is not needed).
The device contains a PIC controller which will be responsible for (if needed) PID controll software and PWM output. The temperature sensor is not a problem for now.
My question is what is the best heating element I could use for this?
At first I was thinking about a peltier element but they seem to consume to much power and I dont necessarily need the cooling so what are my alternatives?
I have searched the web but it's hard to find AA/AAA battery powered solutions...
Any further advice on this is welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Greetings, Dennis
