    HeaterMeter Controller, with Wifi, and Electric Smoker (MES40) Mod in Detail

    Hi Tall, The MES doesn't use an SSR it uses a simple a relay. A PID controller ultimately controls the power applied to the heater. So once every period, the PID equation resolves to some kind of output, say 0-100%, based on the current temperature and the set point. The result is how much...

    HeaterMeter Controller, with Wifi, and Electric Smoker (MES40) Mod in Detail

     I am working on a  PID for mine too! It uses wifi, and a phone app to to control it. Its cheap too. I only have $25 in the whole project. (Not counting probes) My board (blue) is shown hooked to the top of my grill in parallel with the MES control unit. In normal operation the MES controller...

    MES40 Temp Inaccuracy Making Me Crazy

    I am quite certain the oven has PID control in its firmware. PID is only an algorithm. It only works as good as the values plugged in. Since PID controls ramping and holding, I wouldn't be surprised if they purposely messed with the algorithm to enhance the "on" time of the burner in hopes of...

    MES40 Temp Inaccuracy Making Me Crazy

    Well if your happy, then good for you! I'm not, and from a casual glance of this forum, it appears I am not alone. I am working on a real solution, and it is technical, so if you can't contribute then simply don't.

    MES Mod Madness Teaser Pics!!!

    Are you saying here the over temp limit is one use? I thought they reset when they cool down...Can you verify as I am currently experimenting with designing a new controller.

    MES40 Temp Inaccuracy Making Me Crazy

    I have similar issues. I read a good 30 degrees higher than actual. Everyone says just up the temp till it reads right, that's not a fix!. If you read 30 degrees higher than actual, your max temp will be limited to 245, no matter what you set at. I have an engineering background, so I have...
