New pid

Last summer I decided that since I have 2 casting pots I needed a second PID. And besides if i had a spare if #1 broke down I wouldn't have to wait for a new one. For the last couple of months I have been slowly making my new double PID box. Its not really an excuse. But I am very leary about mis-wiring something and burning up 75$ worth of electrical components.
Because of it being so cold I decided it was a good time to finish the project. So today I competed all of the wiring to both PIDs, but only the power wires to one of them. Then I powered up and tested the first one.
With everything working on the first one, I finished the couple connections on the second PID. Tested both units and they work like they should.
Now all I have to do is add a shutoff switch so I can run just one unit when I want.
