PID Temperature Control

Build and/or program a Proportional Integral Differential (PID) controller to maintain the temperature of a piece of bare metal at a user-selected temperature of between -5 and 40 degrees Celsius, with temperature variation of 0.02 degrees or less.

The apparatus was built by Eric Ayars, using a design developed by John Essick. It has been tested and works very reliably.
