Can someone please tell me why I need a project box for STC1000? I want to digitalize a temperature-controlled Dehydrator (turn nob currently). Thanks

The main reason for a project box is to secure the wires so that they don't pull out of the connections every time that someone looks at them sideways. If you can do this without a box (like a permanent install, etc), then go for it.

You don't need one, but it makes the project look better and keeps the exposed power terminals in the back covered.

You don't "need" a box but you do need some way to secure the STC1000 and that's by far the best way I found. If you have some way to keep it from flopping around on the wires you won't need one.

You don't need a project box. You do need to keep in mind you have hot wires exposed on the back of the unit (fire/safety concerns, etc.) However the unit is designed to fit into a electrical box along side a residential construction electrical wall switch and wall receptacle; these are available at hardware stores.

Check with Schluter. Send the specs in the meter. I found the low cost vb60 meets DitraHeat requirements.

The kit includes a large number of small electrical parts, which I cant actually name all of them but can name a few: Servo, Potentiometer, LEDs, heat sensor, light sensor, jump-starter cables, LCD screen, etc. stuff that you usually find on any electrical device. As for the overall Kit, it includes in addition to the electrical components, an Arduino Uno R3, a USB cable, a manual that includes instructions for 15 projects starting that increase in difficulty. The Kit n general is a good starting point and an excellent guid for those who are looking to explore the Arduino's (Microcontroller) potential. The kit also provides useful links to help you program your device (hardware and software) to manage a specific task. I hope my dear friend that I have answered your question and gave you a brief description on what this item is. It's true, not much information is provided, but for me, I was already aware of what it is. My personal advice to you is, if you are interested in electronics and making things that are digitally controlled, I will suggest that you get one and all the components and information that you need to get started are there. But if you are not interested, then it is not worth the 115 dollars.

If you look on the cover plate it has a code. Plug that in into google and i found only web cite with an engineer type who mentioned which boxes worked. The company cite it useless. In the end its best to roll the dice and buy it. There are two types as I recall and you want to buy the older of the two models.

This is only a single stage controller. To control both cooling and heating, I use the STC-1000: Inkbird All-Purpose Digital Temperature Controller Fahrenheit &Centigrade Thermostat w Sensor 2 Relays It requires some wiring, but you can find dual stage controllers that will both turn on the refrigerator when it's too warm outside and also turn on a small heater (that you place inside the fridge) when it gets too cold outside

I just found this information on another dealer's website. From: JIM EDMISTON Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 1:55 PM Subject: SkyScout Production Update Importance: High Unfortunately, we have run into problems securing the GPS crystal for the SkyScout. This crystal was substituted by the factory with a part that we did not specify and resulted in inconsistent GPS readings. We were not informed of this by the factory and discovered it only during our testing of the initial production models. We want to make sure that we put out the best product possible , so we will need to delay our first shipments of SkyScout until mid to late June. The potential of SkyScout is so great that we cannot risk it by sending out product that performs inconsistently. We do not have a firm handle on the initial production quantities at this time, but it is anticipated that they will not be large. Production will be fairly allocated to the major accounts that have placed orders . Please express our apologies to our customers over this situation. Please be assured that this project has the highest priority of all relevant departments at Celestron. Jim Edmiston, Vice President of Sales, Celestron, 2835 Columbia Street, Torrance, CA 90503

Hi, of course some programming experience would be helpful, but each project has a fully documented program that walks you step-by-step through it. You can enter the program yourself following the book, or you can download the program from the disc and run it. The construction of the circuit is very straight forward and should not cause any problems. Hope this helps.

The only thing I found in the net while i was using an Openbox S10HD was an User's Manual, but it doesn´t contain as much as I though . You can download it from several places. Here's one :http://www.yojiatech.com/a/Support/User_Manual/openbox_s10/Anyway, I would recommend (if you can) change to another receiver. This one has some operational cons that many FTA end users don't like.

www.ntia.doc.gov/dtvcoupon will have a $40 coupon starting on January 1 2008 to subsidize getting this kind of converter box.I could really use one now.

I would get a thermal silicone rubber insulator and mount the P/S against a metal plate via the four metric sized corner holes. A die cast aluminum box, like those made by Hammond, would make a dandy heat sink as well as a case. The problem is getting to the in/out selector push button and making a window to see the voltage. For my application, I just used sticky two sided mounting tape and stuck it to the chassis. Sticky back Velcro also works but can be difficult to release and Velcro is a terrible heat diffuser. 4-40 screws are difficult for mounting as the nuts and the heads of the screws create an "interference fit".

I just saw a dehydrator on ebay with stainless steel shelves for $269 with free shipping. It is STX DEHYDRA 1200W - XLS 10 TRAY COMMERCIAL 100% STAINLESS FOOD DEHYDRATOR. I think they are on there quite frequently. I, too, am looking for a good dehydrator, and the reviews on this Amazon one are the best I have seen. I have seen a lot of review on the ones with stainless steel trays and they apparently are NOISY. I have a small house and don't want a ton of noise, which is one of the reasons this one on Amazon appealed to me, but the plastic trays are a definite drawback. I think I will keep looking a bit longer, but I may end up going with this one, plastic or not. :-)

I need this for are test boxes and I need about 100,s more If it passes are test.

What I found worked the best was building a custom box following the exact specifications listed by RF. It sounds 10000x better if you build the box to their demands.

Sorry but none of the STC-1000 temperature controllers I have purchased will display in F. They work great, I just use the equation to get F: (F - 32) x 5 / 9 = C I wish there were a better way.

Thanks for the response. I received the unit yesterday and am anxious to try it.
