    Quick question on a DIY thermostat controller for PELTIER WATER CHILLER

    the one you want to use will work fine. you need to connect a jumper wire between the two negative wire contacts on the board (one from the power supply and one to the peltier/fan)....or between the two positive wires in the other diagram (the polarity doesnt matter)

    Quick question on a DIY thermostat controller for PELTIER WATER CHILLER
