    PI Controller project

    I just wanted to see how low I could go in price for a controller that would perform well. Unfortunately, I have a bunch of family stuff going on right now that is preventing me from getting a lot of my projects done. I started doing a prototype circuit but so far, it is in limbo...

    PI Controller project

    Yes, it is a DC fan. No, the fan speed isn't varied, the fan turns on and off which provides air to promote combustion when on and starves the firebox for air when it is off. Due to the large amount of hysteresis that a smoker has, an ON/OFF fan works fine. JC :emoji_cat:

    So many tomatoes....

    Very nice. I am going to have to see if we have similar produce auctions in my area. I would love to get in on that. Many years ago, I was renting an apartment in Manitowoc and my landlord got taste of the salsa me and my then girl friend made. He liked it so much he asked if we would make...

    Great advice. I have never dehydrated tomatoes. I do have a dehydrator. I think I am going to grab a few from the vines tonight and set them up in the dehydrator. Thanks for the post. JC :emoji_cat:

    So many tomatoes....

    That is what happened to my peppers. Some plants didn't even hold blossoms. Just dismal. All the peppers I did get so far, have some kind of disease or rot. Just awful. Thanks for the post. JC :emoji_cat:

    So many tomatoes....

    Thanks for the advice. I am sure to keep that in mind as I mull this over. I am thinking right now that freezing may be my best option considering what I think I am going to be using the tomatoes to cook. Thanks.... :emoji_sunglasses: JC :emoji_cat:

    So many tomatoes....

    Yeah and it is kind of funny that the 2 cats that go outside are kind of MEH, toward the catnip. The two cats that don't like going out go nuts for it. Go figure.. :emoji_rolling_eyes: JC :emoji_cat:
