Does such a thing exist,
I am making a chick brooder, the heating will be a 25 watt heat plate above the nest,
But as i will be brooding song thrush and blackbird chicks (from my aviary) i need pretty tight temperature control, as the chicks hatch featherless and for the first 7 days unable to do much more than stick their head up and gape for food, then put their bums in the air and shit.
So i want something a little better than a bang - bang type thermostat (maybe with a 0.1 degree hysteresis it could work) but what i'd rather do is have the thermostat adjust the power going to the heater to keep the temperature at a steady 37.5 degrees C. an analogue thermostat if you will.
Anyone know of such a thing? ideally one that doesnt cost silly money as it'll only be running a very low resistive load.
