Here is a little video of the first draw off. Still need to learn a bit and I should probably run it through auto tune but it works!

Id be very interested to hear about your progress.... and how you've programmed the PID.. I've been daydreaming about building one of these recently.... Trying to decide between PID and a simple on-off. My only experience with PID controllers was on a plastic extruder...(running valves for cooling lines and electric heaters) From what I remember, it worked very well when things were running consistently... but if there was an unusual change in the process, EG. stopped the extruder for a few minutes to do a screen-change, etc... (which would eliminate friction heat for a time),,, it would over-cool and take a long time for the controller to get things figured out again... Could be that we just didn't have things programmed properly?? I've been wondering if an auto draw off would have the same sort of issues if I was late with loading wood, etc... Thanks for the update... I look forward to more...Originally Posted by BRL
Any updates on this? It would be great if you could post some more pictures and the wire schematic is very fuzzy. If you wouldn’t mind emailing me the schematic in a larger former I would appreciate it! My email is sam2145871@hotmail.com. Thank you!
***Edit- I also forgot to ask exactly which PID did you buy? There are three choices and I’m not sure if the RS-485 communication or the SSR features are useful or needed for this. Thanks again.

Hey Marcus, the model is SYL-2381-mA. Should be the first option in the drop down menu. I'll send you some info when I get a second.

Hello, Could you give us PID parameters ? Thanks!!
