Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to implement a PID on a microcontroller for a 23l RIMS setup.

I've never used a PID before so I'm not sure how my algorithm compares. But basically, I'd like to know what the oscillation looks like for other people out there. I think that oscillating +/- 1°c would not be acceptable but is this reasonable? When I ramp up, I can overshoot by 2°c for about 2 minutes. but it then stabilize better.

Also, considering that without a RIMS and just using a cooler and checking in every 15min, I can maintain the mash within 0.5°c of my target. Should I be expecting a better stability with a PID?
