Hi guys,
I just got my self a Grainfather and I really like the system. However, Id like to get ArdBir´s controller solution since Im not very satisfied with the default one.
Since I dont know anything about electronics and lack workmanship I wanted to ask if somebody might share a step-by-step instruction for assembling the ArdBir controller?
I also saw that it doesnt come with a housing so if somebody has some pictures of how he build a housing it would be awesome.
Thanks in advance
Manson

You REALLY need to be able to do some wiring to get one fitted to anything.
You need your own box, SSR heatsink, etc and to be able to wire them all up.

The external circuit is quite simple and well documented ..as hairybiker wrote you just need to "put all together"
Find a proper case and perform wiring and integration.
Not impossible not so difficult.. Maybe with the help of a friend of you

It’s a few months that I was no more active on this thread..but this not mean I have stopped my interest in home brewing and automation
In the last year I have invested lot of time,effort and money in a new brewing automation project and I have design and engineered a new smart and advanced product called SmartPID that I'm very happy to introduce to you.
The product is so advanced and feature rich there is nothing comparable on the market..in the same size of basic STC1000 thermostat I have inserted all you need for your brewing process, fermentation control or any other custom application !
But the great step head is that SmartPID is a real product engineering tested, certified with all characteristic for mass production. No more DIY unsupported kit but a long life-cycle platform powerful, flexible, programmable and SMART. Are you ready to do the upgrade? Just remove your simple thermostat or DIY solution and plug a smart process controller.
I leave you to discover all the features and functions and technical characteristic on the official website http://smartpid.com and FB page https://www.facebook.com/smartPID and I will open as well an official SmartPID thread
I hope you appreciate the big effort put in the design by an homebrewer for the homebrewing community and you support the project as you did for ardbir
Stay tuned
