Thermostat

[malc-c]

or can I use the temperature sensor in my own pic project to switch another relay from picbasic?

You could use a DS18B20 or LM35 digital sensor and a PIC and easily make your own - I've just completed a 4ch pulse proportional thermostat and light controller for my snakes based on an 18F4580 and 4 x DS18B20 sensors

Thank you Malcolm.

Would it also work if I "reinforce" the 220v part of the tracks with thick copper cable?

To be honest - mount the relay off the board - then take two wires from the coil to the PCB, then wire your mains wiring to the relay.

Malcom, have you done any Audio Amplifiers or Pre-amps inthe past?

No, why ???

I noticed the transformer was placed at 45 degrees. Usually on audio systems was placed that way.

LOL - I wish i could say there was a technical reason for that, such as to reduce interference or for aesthetics, ..... but truth is the case has lots of pre molded standoffs and that was the only way I found two standoffs at the correct pitch to secure the transformer to
