    Ive succesfully modded all three with my project electronic controller and reduced them all to 1-2 degrees variation.

    My next attempt will be trying a PID algorithm in the microcontroller and use a SS relay to see if I can produce a PMPID (Poor Mans PID!).  
    Youve aroused my interest. What is the project electronic controller youve employed?  Is it cost effective compared to the $300-odd PIDs?  Details appreciated.

      Thanks, LW.....I thought it all looked familiar. We seem to be going round in circles!

      The confusion arose because the original thread about the controller was posted by Croweater.

      I asked Croweater for details....and didnt notice they were supplied by your good self, LW.

      Which begs the question: Is Croweater and LW one and the same?

        Hi Robusto
        LW & croweater are not one in the same - the initial thread that I started was answered by LW because Lindsay & LW are one in the same.
        Sorry for the confusion but LW made the controller for me. That made him more qualified than I to answer the questions for you.
        I live in SA hence Croweater, LW in VIC and we are family.
        I have been using the Silvia with the controller and yes I am bias towards family but I believe LW has done a great job with his economical device.
        The Silvia is on a timer set for 6am so as to when I get out of bed in the morning I have confidence that I can go to Miss Silvia and not worry about the wild Temp variations but grind lock and load and extract at the Temp set.
        As I am sure you would appreciate not having to wonder with you are going to get a sour cup or bitter from the original thermostat is a major improvement.
        I hope this clears the confusion for you.

          Situation clarified, thanks, Croweater. Yes, LW did a great job with the controllers.
