The Microwave digital timmer hack.

Step 4 Getting ready...

I would suggest using more than one outlet. Most of you should know not to plug lots of things into it. That said let's be logical. You should have a set of outlets for the main and one connected to the relay for the light. If you want to, you can put a switch in line with them as well as a master kill switch. These are for when things go horribly wrong and they can. I speak from experience in the matter so take my word for it. It doesn't take much to short things out and you'll want a way to shut it off without touching anything dangerous. It's a safety precaution so take it or leave it.

The reason we have the outlet boxes is for the secure mounting of the outlets. If you decide to use panel mounts like I did you'll probably want to hot glue them from behind. This is just to make sure they don't pull out when you go to unplug things from them. It's just some added insurance.You'll see that I used a bridge buss to connect everything in this one. I got that out of an old CB home station that was discarded. I'm not using this for heating or anything heavy duty so this is substantial enough for my needs. You may want to use a screw terminal or just solder wires directly to the PCB. I did it this way to save wear and tare on the board if I should want to reconfigure it later.
