    PID programming questions

    I'm not incredibly qualified or even claim to know a lot about what I'm doing  to be messing with electricity so LOL hopefully I'll figure out how to power this PID without blowing myself up. I think a concept I read on another message board with some good pictures of how to wire one of these up...

    PID programming questions

    JckDanls 07   Couple last questions for you about your 2352P . What is powering yours? 120 or 240? and do you use the SSR output feature? I'm debating if the SSR output or Relay output (model 2342P) would be better for what I'm doing with it or if it even matters. It may not based on how I'm...

    PID programming questions

    So I must have been reading the manual for a different controller that looked similar. Page 2 and the Step features are VERY different for this controller and exactly what I was looking for to make some kind of sense out of this. Honestly having worked with code this makes a lot more sense now...

    PID programming questions

    I was looking at that model too. That's the one I was planning to get before I saw the other one. Do you have yours hooked up that way? I looked at the manual and I'm kind of stupid when it comes to electrical wiring diagrams. I do fine with actually looking at the wiring but the diagrams don't...

    PID programming questions

    I read that manual and it mostly makes sense. I just wasn't sure how the hot / cold on off part works. The manual is a little bit cryptic / incomplete for someone who doesn't really know what they are doing Lol. It pretty much looked like there are several ways to set it up. I almost kind of...

    PID programming questions

    Do you know of any companies that make one that's prebuilt this way or in a way that not a ton of modification would be needed? I was looking at this but after reading your post I'm thinking it's not going to work right. Any particular device or devices you would recommend...

    PID programming questions

    Alright so I'm comfortable enough after looking up information about PIDs to possibly pick one and or wire it up. I'm having difficulty understanding some of the concepts of the programming. I ultimately want to run my fridge with both cooling and heating capabilities Lets throw a random...

    Starting newer fridge smoker

    OK so no takers on the PID LOL  OK back to the smoke generator again then, I can electrocute myself on video later on. Originally I had done up a smoke generator above with an old popcorn tin and some pipe and stuff from the hardware store. This sort of half worked. It looked like crap and was...

    Starting newer fridge smoker

    So is anyone game for diving head first into a PID controller conversation? I see this being my hang up on this project. I'm pretty confident at this point I can finish out the actual smoke generator and the fridge the way I want it to be and to work properly but the PID controller is a whole...
