Obviously its very hard to check the colour changes during a roast on Nano which I have tried several times and also made some assumptions based on the temperature readings around first crack and how they translate to my drum roaster temps, with the Nano being 10 - 14 degrees C higher.

I think this may devolve down to whether you are 'glass half empty or glass half full' with your outlook on life. Learning what to avoid is quite a negative pastime compared to learning what to chase after. Also I prefer methods that mean I have less to do; for me, at the moment, success is coming l...

There is a build-up of sticky residue. There is no protection over the circuit boards; is that going to matter? And anyone else have a top with a twisted sense of humour? That's my skateboard ramp in the distance!

To say I am surprised is an understatement. Where is all the look-ahead the controller is supposedly doing in the PID then?

I would guess it's something to do with the PD controller. To function properly P(I)D controllers need tuning to the system within which they are used. Tuning (in our systems) involves adjusting the feedback quantities for proportional error and the differential (rate of change) of error. There is a...

I had been using Wayland forever since initial installation. Out of nothing more than idle curiosity I switched. I am happy to report t...

Let me reply in the vernacular; if I were you I wouldn't start from here!
