Hi All, thought I'd try to draw on the groups experience. I need some heaters to warm some optical elements. A long time ago I remember seeing some small heaters which were fitted to crystals in radio gear for temperature stabilisation. I know this can be done using power resistors, pwr transistors etc but I am really looking for a compact "made for the job" solution. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of these heaters. best regards rob -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: "[PIC]:","[SX]:","[AVR]:" =uP ONLY!
