PID programming for Pop Sci's DIY Sous Vide cooking device
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 3:34 pm
Hi. The PopSci article from Apr'08 (http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2010- ... ve-diy-way) had a link to your JLD612 Dual Display PID Temperature Controller, so I'm going to try out this project.
It looks like I'll need the JLD612 PID, a thermocouple, and a 25A SSR to handle the load of a common 500W rice cooker.
This is the first time I'm going to be working with a PID. I'm not finding the manual for the JLD612, so I don't know what I'll need to learn in order to use it. For example, how would I program it to correctly regulate a 4 qt water bath (that's the rice cooker). And for the SSR, is a heat sink recommended?
Thanks!
