Hello guys !
I finally got my thermocouple (K type) so I finished my controller box.
This box will control the heating element and show temperature. There are also a SSR (solid state relay) and a switch to turn heating on and off.
Here is the schema (click to enlarge):

And a few pictures of the box:

I know the box is ugly but it's functional :lol:
Please note that the switch is only controlling the heating element but not the PID. This way, I can turn off the element without loosing the temperature monitor.
Any comments or recommendations ?
Thanks
