First Project with the Arduino - Sous Vide - Dimmer / Heater

randynealpetersen:
Thanks for the info! I was planning on just using a PID controller. Most of the DIY Sous Vide cookers use one. I guess I am using the Arduino, just because I wanted a learn more about the Arduino.

The difference depends on what you focus on.

Some people want to do sous vide cooking using a PID
Other really want to build a controller! .... Then they use it for cooking

It is almost a matter of philosophy! It is the journey or the destination?
