Need a simple circuit for a proportional AC control circuit I could build to control heating in my snake tanks.

I am not sure I follow. Do you have a tstat now you are wanting to modify?

No. I have a light dimmer adjusting the temperature on my flexwatt and UTHs. I am looking for a simple circuit to build myself from scratch to sense and control the heaters.

You are better off just buying a t-stat, i tried what you are attempting and its not that easy or cheap. Clint

DO you have the schematic the used?

The tools to make a good proportional tstat will cost you an arm and a leg...

I have tools. some parts and I already build electronic circuits. Just wondering if anyone on here has did this already. I am not looking at the cost of building vs. buying a market one. Its hard to compete with the Chinese when you are a build it yourselfer. This is just another part of the hobbie for me.
