Design Suggestions
Size of the box - 14 inch width, 12 inch depth, 6 inch height. 1 inch insulation inside of box.
We should use proportional or integral Action Control and not simple on off control. This eliminates a temperature cycle which on get from on/off control.
You can buy heating elements from http://www.wattco.com/Articles.html

Query Temperature through Laptop
Need a serial cable with a null modem attached
Use RS232 HexCom Tool program to communicate with the temperature controller
- When program is open, click on serial cable button
- In the new window, make sure the settings are:
- Port: Com 2
- Baud: 9600
- Parity: None
- Bits: 8
- : 1
- Flow Control: None
- Click “Open” at the bottom of the window (Opens the Port)
- Put in the hex query string (0103001c000145cc), hit enter
- String will be returned in the lower window
- The 4th and 5th segments of returned string is the temp in hex (ex: 00 c9)
- Convert the 5th segment from hex to numerical number by multiplying the first digit by 16 and adding on the second digit (ex: c=12, 12*16=192, 192+9=201)
- Divide the numerical number by ten to get the temperature in Celsius (ex: 201/10=20.1)
