So, the question can one of one of these be easily controlled by a motherboard. Say for example an MKS.. (I have a Base 1,2 and an SBase 1,2 on hand)
I'm working on a simple down cut hotwire and plan on using a printer board to handle the controls side. If one of the motherboard's outputs could interface with the SCR controller rather than the SCR's display I could control wire temp with nc code rather than bumping it up and down for different foams. Will be driving Rene 41 at about 9ft length, so 120v will be the supply.

Would I be better off just using a solidstate relay?

Thanks!
Sam
