    The nice thing about this compared to the pre-made digital controls is that many of them still use a mechanical relay or a switching circuit that, if solid-state, isn't zero-crossing detecting. This one is, so it prolongs the life of the power connections at the Solder Pot. If you get some good photos of your work feel free to post them!

    I'll try to get some pictures, and will provide some detailed instructions if I ever get that far.

    We are way behind on our work, so I doubt we will get to it before the first of the year.
