Was that a pre-made panel or did you have to cut all the holes for the displays?

I bought the 12"x12" box at Lowes and cut the openings for the metrers and the neon lamp.

I need to give a heads up to jebatty (Jim) over on Hearth.com for helping me get started on this project. He pointed me in the right direction to start looking for the parts that I used.
I don't know if he checks in here, but if so thanks again Jim.

R W Ohio-

Did I read that right, that you also have this connected to a computer? How was that accomplished? What signal are you using?

I'm still moving ahead with my plans. I received a confirmation the Temp Module will be shipped today. Hopefully will receive by Friday so I have something to work on this weekend.

Ridgekid,
It is not connected to the computer, what I said to RSI was that I had pictures on the computer that I could'nt get to post.

R W Ohio-

Ok- understand now.  Ever look to see if those meters have output signals? 4-20ma or 0-5vdc?

I'm still trying to find info (after I get mine hooked to the computer) to show up on my outline drawing. I have went as far as emailing one of the guys in my controls group for suggestions.

I'm tracking my Temp Module, looks like Monday Nov 14th for delivery. Still crossing fingers for Friday.

Ridgekid,
The answer to your question is no. They only have input for the 120 volt power and the + and - for the thermocouples. I had thought about using a security cam and hooking it up to our tv network so that I could check the system operation while watching tv.

Me too.  I am a total nerd for this kind of stuff.  That looks super cool.  Just need to add some flashing lights and maybe a nightrider strip along the bottom.

Muffin- They must of dropped us out of the same mold! So far the wife has put up with my ideas. She never agrees initially, until she sees how it turns out (IE webcams).

Just thought of another one. (Thanks to you)  I think I'll string some Christmas lights on the Green Dragon after Thanksgiving.  Now the question is do I want to put them on a timer or have them come on when she's in burn mode.   8)

LOL, that would be awesome.  Or better yet, get the color changing ones and make them shift colors when it is burning!!!!  I am an electrical engineer, so these things are in my nature.
