Hello all, working on my first adventure into PIDs, done a lot of searching, learned alot, and now I would like you to check my logic to make sure I'm on track (if you don't mind that is...)
Quick summary, just need to control temp with one heater. Airflow is constant into the zone I'm trying to control.
There are three states:
1 - Heat is off, PID is off, output signal fixed at 0
2 - Heat is on, ramping to 80% of temp SP, PID is off, output signal fixed at 100%
3 - Heat is on, ramping is off, PID is on.
I'll ask a few PID tuning questions after my logic gets a passing grade!
