Other's wallet size may vary. And frankly, sad to say it, serious lack of skills. This is the main thing to consider for anyone approaching a roaster build. Regarding parts supply, was amazed how poor in resources looks his location, that seems very advanced technological when seen from outside...

An electric screwdriver can be the next step. A thermometer is optional, the readings in such setup will be very approximate and less useful. Edited by renatoa on 05/11/2022 2:56 AM

1/4 Pounder Posts: 85 Joined: October 17, 2021	A reminder that the name of this board is homeroasters.com not electronicmechanicalhobbyists.com. If you reread my original thread, renatoa, I conveyed my ignorance about electronics at the onset and accepted your mentorship as you actively recruited my participation in the project. Now here when I uploaded an interesting video and inquired about the community's opinion, I was met with a really snotty retort and then insults. Enjoy.
