I spent the day looking for a decent and concise presentation on how to wire the Rex C100 controller. This was it. wish it were the only one to save looking through others that didn't quite hit the mark. Thanks for your efforts. Really helped me wire the thing - and it works . . . . so far.

Thanks Joe. Total cost with a decent controller is around $75 bucks. I may end up getting a better controller just to have it even more precise.

I think your pid controller (and autotune) isn't working well because your thermocouple temperature isn't stable; it dances all over the place. Whether this is because of a loose connection, introducing different conductors or using the wrong type thermocouple for what the controller expects. I have the same controller and it is rock solid. The auto-tune will overshoot initially by A LOT on the first run, so set the temperature somewhere low (e.g. 200 deg), then try a normal run up to 200 and then see how it goes up to 300 and 400. Super great video btw, love the mix of wood, metal and electronics. Pure fun! :-)

Hey P, In my case I bypassed all the toaster controls so that the elements get all the power when switched "on". If you don't want to mess with that just set the toaster on bake and max.

Hi Thanks for the VID. I have been shopping PID controllers to try and overdrive the oven (same as yours basically) to hold around 300c/572f. with no modification it dose about 200c with the heater on about 1/3 of the time. my oven has no insulation yet. i figure with some insulation and having the heater on 3 times as much there is definitely room for more heat. but to not be too reckless I thought I should use a PID and not commit to full power. do you think this is doable? perhaps remove all plastics.

You can just turn your toaster to max bake and have the box control the power to the oven. Or, if you are confident with wiring, you can direct wire the oven so that the power routes directly to the elements.... do at your own risk.
