    Looks good! Does that one strip of flex keep the temps up?

    Yes it does!, the spyder robotics thermostat is proportional and its screen shows the amount of energy that is suplying to the heat source. I've have set the incuabator at 90 degrees and it only went to 100% energy while establishing, but once set it generally goes to no more than 30%!!!. So that sigle strip of flex is more that enought but consider that temperature at the room is 82-84 F...

    I don't see any other thermometers? How do you know the temps outside the egg case are stable? Just curious..

    Re: Pepsi-incubator
    There are now 3 working thermometers at the incuabator, and were there while testing before I placed the eggs inside. By the way also compared the accuraci of the spyder robotics built in thermometer and found to be very good. Walmart ones lie a little. I got a laboratory grade glass thermometer for the comparision...

    Is that a fan you have at the top of the heat mat? If so how do you power it because I have one lying around that’s from a pc and I got it running on batteries and they were dead in 24hours…. Wiring it up so it plugged into the mains would have it running at a very high speed?

    can you post a pic where you drilled the hole for the wire of the thermostat? thanks!

    Re: Pepsi-incubator
    Yeah I ended up putting the walmart ones at the same place in the bator as my herpstat and the walmart ones are .5-.7 degrees lower.

    Yes that's the fan, it is a 110 v one that I got from radio shack. I set this fan without a switch so is always working, blows just enoughf air (no too much) to keep temps even. The great thing about this kind of fans is that they do no generate much heat.

    Do you mean the power cord or the temp sensor?? There is a hole just behind the thermostat, the temp sensor goes from there to a drilled hole hidden behind of the ''PEPSI'' sign. The power cord goes trought a drilled hole in the most upper part of the refrigerator in a not at all handsome way.

    Wow I found almost the same thing in the walmart ones: .7 to .9degrees lower...
