I am using a temperature controller and heating element that I did not choose. It does not work the way I want, and the price is very high.
I am making/looking for a proof-of-concept heater controller. Heater load is about 100 watts.
Option 1) I am looking for a low-cost temperature controller, displays in (C) and works from 30C to 175C. Temperature set by hand. $50.00
Option 2) All other instruments are controlled by ethernet. The only controller I have found that talks ethernet is $3000.00.
Option 3) Use a raspberry Pi-3 and a SS relay and make one from nothing. (I do not have that much time)
Thank you for any ideas you have.
