Step by Step

1. drill holes

  • measure the diameter of the extension cord that will be used.
  • using a stepped drill bit, cut two holes on opposite sides of the box.
    • the centered about 1"inch below edge of box
  • drill a 5/32 hole for the thermister signal wire

2. place and cut wires

  • cut extension cord for desired lengths. in half is fine.
  • run about 8 inches of cord into holes.
  • tie cord in a knot. pull knot firmly against the side of the box.
  • strip off shielding, leaving about half an inch past knot.

3. fit check

  • place the wall wart, relay switch and microcontroller into box.
  • confirm that the usb cable can reach the microcontroller.
  • using double sided stick strip, attach relay in place

4. crimp connections

  • study the wiring harness diagram
  • start with the extension cord wires.
    • fit check the wires into place, then cut as needed.
