12 years ago Hi Ron,
Yeah I actually came across the PID library some time after I had written my code. His library is a little more general purpose so it has a couple more features. I looked at integrating it but it took up a lot more code space (which makes sense considering how non-specialized it is) and didn't seem to bring any significant improvements to the output response so kept going with my code. I've also looked at his autotune but didn't have much luck with its results. I'd been meaning to try it again, but things are always so busy with the project!
If you have any other questions, feel free to drop by the forums and make a post http://tvwbb.com/forumdisplay.php?85-LinkMeter-v2-Homebrew-BBQ-Controller
Hi Bryan,
Great project and profound thanks for publishing your project. I had been mulling over my own design for some time only to find you are already there! One design question; Did you come across the Arduino PID library from Brett Beauregard? The PID tutorial at http://brettbeauregard.com is one of the best I've seen and they have also added an autotune library. I'm curious on your design decision. Thanks again!
