PID Heater control with any Arduino



I've been controlling the temperature of my extruder with a super simple (yet very functional) Arduino-based controller.  To control your heater with any Arduino-alike you only need to add one resistor and one FET.  It doesn't get any easier than that!

I used my Arduino compatible Fabio board, but anything should work.  Get the full scoop and code on the Makeyourbot wiki.

    I really like layout of that 'fabio' board. Are the design files available it looks like exactly the thing ive been looking for.
