Auber PID alternatives

[civilsmoker]

I've been advised my circuit board needs replacing (MB130) but reading all about the PID options here. Struggling to find a source for an Auber PID in the UK - anyone had any success this side of the pond - or a replacement circuit board?

If you can get an inkbird they are a good second choice to Auber. Inkbird is also a forum sponsor

Yes, I have gotten that far, it is just changing from 0 to 1 I believe.

Right. It should tune on the next power-up then. If that doesn't work, check your feedback. Probe, connections, etc..

Hi there and welcome!
Not sure how to help you there in the UK. Not sure if it's worth the shipping to get one from Auber of if they will even send that far.

You may have to build your own or find somewhere in UK that offers plug and play ones already built. Let us know where you land :D

How long to run the auto tune to get it dialed in? I am sure it would take several cycles, right?

I have found that it takes about 1.5 - 2 hours usually.
