Re: PID Thermo controller

i basicly used this http://www.lesmarmitonsnj.com/Sous-Vide ... ttings.pdf but i used my own settings for the thermocouple type and min/max temp limits. also i turned on SL6 by setting it to 1. that turns on the internal relay (which i need) and set it to read farenheit by turning on SL2. (set it to 1)
i think the real key is to just make sure you have auto-tune turned on and it basicly does the rest for you.
i also experimented with the COD setting (i think i set it to 0010. the manual i have only lists 0000, 1000 and 0001 as options) and found a few other functions not documented in any of the other manuals i found online. i didnt change any of those though. figuring i wouldnt know what i had changed anyways... i think it may have to do with setting the decimal point.
i dont plan on messing with it anymore but i do plan on making another controller for another kiln in the future. so before i program the new one i think i'll do some exploring
