Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please
It really isn't that hard to use something like an Arduino Uno to control the ktp and TEC temperatures. That is what I'm doing to control my Half-Note (that I'm still working on), and I am barely a novice with arduino coding...
What was the max power you got out of it?
I bought one of those from another seller a couple of years ago or more, they put out a very nice little beam. I had set up three adjustable power supplies to do it, monitoring two thermistors with a DVM to adjust the power to the diode and crystal to keep them at the right temperature. It was a big challenge to do so by hand, having to continually jump from adjusting one power supply to the other to keep everything at the right temperatures, but it worked until i became tired of the one armed paper hanger act.
