Re: Sending PWM through a relay
That's actually a good explanation and answered one of the questions I had yet to ask. I have had the oven make a few runs today, with different pid settings, and one run in particular had the temp locked in at +/-0.1C, except 3 degrees too high. The accumulated error certainly accounts for that. On that run, I started the run with the oven temp higher than the set point. That probably messed up things.
So, humble pie time for me, you were right CG. Looks like I am going to have to do some pid tuning. I can't have too much variance on this particular profile. My primary case for this oven is actually to do filament drying. Too much heat, and the spool will be melted together and useless. So I'm reading up on PID systems.
