So I'm programming my arduino for my eHERMS, and I'm trying to figure out whether I need to use the PID library to maintain my HLT temperature.
I'd like to know what the arguments are against programming it to do something like this:
1. Turn HLT off when (target temp. + 0.2) is reached
2. Turn HLT on when temp. drops below (target temp. - 0.2)
Will I get problematic temperature oscillation if I do it this way?
I just get the feeling that the PID is going to cause some programming pain, especially since I'm trying to make the arduino do several things at once.
Thoughts?
