I’d like to get two of these touch screen controllers for the Hive’s benchtop Kilns:
They are the “mini” version of what we have on the big kiln, and are drop-in replacements for the three button controllers the small kilns currently have.
This is a purely ease-of-use upgrade that we’ve discussed in the hot crafts area committee a few times. I was promoted to put it up for vote now because I had to open up the SC2 kiln anyway to replace a dead relay.
I’ll put an additional but of budget in for the replacement relay as well as adding a safety relay so we have redundancy against run-away.
The budget should be pretty reliable on this, the controllers are a known $340 each, and the SSR is under $20 and the relay is $15. I believe any wire or connectors required I have on hand.
