My brand spanking new homemade Sous Vide controller (PID controller for cooking). By connecting the relay to my rice cooker and putting the probe and a small aquarium pump inside I'm able to very accurately control the water temperature.. This can be used to cook meat to perfection - just like in the fancy restaurants.
Perfect for Sous Vide cooking! ( For more information about Sous Vide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-vide )

- Solid State Relay
- DS18B20 based temperature sensor
- HD77480 LCD panel (20 x 4)
- 3 push buttons
- 16 mhz resonator or crystal
- A few basic resistors, caps, leds and transistors.
nice! is everything powered by a standard 12v source?

@mrkimpham at the moment it's all powered by two AA batterys. I've added a bluetooth-modules which requires 3.3v (temperature graphs / control from my macbook) so at the moment everything runs on 3.3v. I've also added a DC-plug to the casing of my controller, but not wired it up yet. I plan to replace the batteries with a 5v wall wart + 3.3v voltage regulator.
