Moonlight on a 29 day simulated cycle
Stats ssaved on controller (last 7 day min max temps, last 24hour temps at 1 hour intervals, how long the heaters was on, how long the coolers was on etc.)

WOW well done there really impressive
 
The cost to make it is nothing compared to the amount of hours it took to write the software controlling it. I am planning on selling these in the very near future, but I can't advertise here without beeing a sponsor....

Top work mate, i think if you could get this to manufacture stage it would be a great alternative - good luck with it.
 
My plan is to sell them for +- R1700.. please don't take this post as advertising.... I am not selling anything a.t.m.... I am working on a plan to advertise it.

any further developments on these controllers ? I am interested.
 
Hi

I am finished with the controllers. I have a guy in CPT testing one for me for the last 2.5 months, and no problems.

I'm currently also working on another version with normal plugs (as you can see from the pic's, I am currently using PC/Kettle type plugs...mainly because the are cheap, small and more reliable than 2 prong plugs). The 3 prong version will be R350 or so more.

I can upload the "Usermanual" for the controller to rapidshare, if you want to see all the features.

Regards,
Darius

Edit to add: I can also customise the controller features/timers/bigger relays etc.
