    Get well and these guys are pretty forgiving when they know what's going on. We know you will get caught up.

    Thank guy. I have quite literally slept the entire lost 20 hours. Just up long enough to take medicine. The thing with the flu they can not treat the flu. They can only treat the symptoms. It's just a waiting game.

    Your PID is build. I just need to do my quality control testing. And ship.

    No problem Mark, take the time needed. My wife is at home but I'll be out of town for another three weeks and wouldn't be able to use it right away anyway.

    Mark, just get well. Last year at Easter I had my first overnight stay in a hospital, was 71 then. Then another night later after surgery. Thank God I haven't been back.

    Where is your price list located? I hope to go the PID route this summer.

    Have a blessed day,

    Leon

    Hey guys. Just want to say thank you to everyone for the wishes and all.
    Yesterday was my first day back to work in over a week. It was long and man was I tired afterwords. I will be back in the garage tonight or this weekend. Testing and shipping everything out.

    Received the unit Mark made for me with the Auberins PID substituted for the Mypin. Very nice work. Well worth the money.

    I hooked it up and set the auto tune to operate. After it cycled 3 times, it maintained 100 degrees without fluctuating. Very nice

    Mark,

    Got the custom built PID you did for me. Looks great. I'll let you know how well it works when it's set up. Thanks.

    My unit arrived last week and I got it up and running last night. Works like a champ!

    Having the real time temp display is quite an eye opener regarding temp swings etc. Also shows my RCBS analog thermometer is reading about 50degs too cool. Definitely looking forward to more use and fine tuning of my technique.

    Thanks Mark!

    Just spend an hour on phone with Mark. He is still quite ill but progressing hopes to be back to normal in a couple of weeks. He has been a sick cookie. He thanks you for your patience.

    I bought this PID from Mark last year and am just now ready to set it up. I looked through the thread for instructions but didn't find any, and don't have the PMs he sent me anymore. Does anyone have instructions/helpful tips?

    He was online earlier today. Need to send him a PM.
    If you can post a picture of the PID controller, I will be happy to help you
