Controlling relays using thermocouple readings

TLDR: What's the easiest way of interacting with a Phidget from inside another Phidget's event handler? Me again, still working on the injection molding machine. The stepper motors are working great now thanks to the help I got on a previous post. I want to regulate the temperature of the extruder ...

STC1000 for dummies for a dummy?

Hi, I'm making a desktop injection molding machine and I thought I'd try Phidgets to control the two stepper motors, four heaters, two thermocouples and a limit switch. I'm using: 1 x HUB0000 (Maybe an SBC some day) 2 x STC1000 1 x REL1100 1 x TM1101 Right now I'm stuck at step one: Making the stepp...
