I can't wait to start building this! Steve you mentioned in the controller PDF that your "cheap dremel ripoff" doesn't cut the plastic too well. Dremel make a plastic cutting wheel and I have used it a few times they don't work to bad. You might get it to fit your dremel ripoff.

Ok so the price of the kit will be $45 which includes postage to anywhere in australia.

The total cost of the build is hard to say as it depends on your choices but to build the box in the picture
it cost

Kit $45
Bonjuino $22.50
12v powersupply $7 Ebay
SSR $4.95 Ebay
BOX $23.95 jaycar HB6224
IEC power Male $4.95 jaycar PP4009
IEC power female $4.95 jaycar PS4002
3 x black pushbuttons $14.85 jaycar SP0656
1 x red pushbutton $4.95 jayacr SP0657

4 pin connector M $2.95 jaycar PP2010
2 pin connector F $2.95 jaycar PS2014
4 pin connector F $2.95 jaycar PS2012
Heatsink $8.95 jaycar HH8572
---------------------------------------------------
total: $153.85

tools required:
wire cutters/strippers
fine point soldering iron
drill and drill bits
hacksaw and files

now there will be extra costs like wires, heatshrink, heatsink compound and mounting standoffs and screws
I used wires off an old ATA PC powersupply which were 18awg and V90 rated which is good for 300v and 15amps

[MastersBrewery]

those instructions are well written, I even understood the PID explanation, though as they say a lil knowledge is a dangerous thing :huh:

 

[matho]

thanks mastersbrewery,

I have deleted the previous PDF because of a slight error in the front page on the start button functions here is the amended one

[matho]

I was reading AS 3100:2009 Approval and test specification - General requirements for electrial equipment and it states in 4.6.1 joints and insulation:
"Stranded conductors shall not be consolidated by lead -tin soldering where they are subject to contact pressure, unless the clamping means is so designed that there is no risk of bad contact due to cold flow of the solder"
so that means that where I recommed soldering or 'tinning' the ends of the wire before inserting into the screw connectors, please disregard.

cheers steve

 

[MastersBrewery]

recieved mine today, Thanks steve.

Ampy thanks for showing me the daunting task that lay ahead!! nah going to get a friend to solder the boards up, waiting for my "pocket money" so I can place an order with bonj, when his kit are back in stock.

Steve I think you've created some threads that may out live some of us here, well done to all for their input.

 

[matho]

recieved mine today, Thanks steve.

Cool mate thanks for letting me know, that was really quick you got it before I could have dropped it off to you.

cheers steve

 

[matho]

just order 50 more PCB's so they should be here buy the end of the month

 

[browndog]

Got mine in the mail today and am really impressed with the packaging and the whole thing. If ever there was an AHBer of the year, Matho would win it hands down. Now, time to dig out that urn I've had put away for yonks.

cheers
