congrats on the system! you rock climb?

Thanks Cidah!

Well define climb...don't remember thee last time I was on that wall other than when some friends where over a while back teaching one of the girls how too do it..I dabble a bit in it...not as much as I have in years past.

I have a pretty good indoor wall in my house with @ 17' ceilings 45 degree pitch, small over hang and a 15 degree incline as well as a boulder area...

former life I was a Certified Military Mountaineering Instructor and have climbed a few places around the country and world...nice catch.
 
Sweet! I have a rock cave built in my garage 22x30 but is only 8 feet tall. I could spot biners on slings from a mile away :)

There is a rock gym planned to go up in syracuse area soon. I like you have not been able to climb as much in syr but we are traing now in our cave for climbing this year!

I am a gunks lover, so I plan on heading t here as much as feasible this year.

Awesome that y were an instructor too

Hey cidah.... I don't want to derail, but since you guys are already talking about it, could you post a few pics of that wall? I'd love to see it.
 
Here are a couple, thought it doesn't show the features on the lest most wall. We just got another metolious 60 pack to help round out the wall.

Cidah...

You need some roof jugs up on the ceiling!! I'd love to come check that out some time..never have time to climb...as a matter of fact I need to put a panel back on my wall from when I ran my wires for my system..maybe see you at the grain pick up, all the best, great pics! Thanks for sharing.

You said it! I keep adding holds and now have a couple nice big jugs up there.. however I could stand to add many more. Right now a lot of the moves on the roof involve significant body tension and I would love to allow for a route that is a solid run of roof for the ~30 feet span. I built in some cool features that I still can't use because I don't have enough juggy holds. I also am not climbing at the level I once was, so it would be more with some larger roof holds. Man I wish they were cheaper...

I would love to see your wall too if you happen to have some pics. I am certainly proud of what I have here, but I am sure there are far bigger better walls at peoples houses!
 
Regarding your mash temp over shoot take a look before for autotuning steps. Autotuning must be similar for that PID, and most likely will be required. If not your PID will overshoot like you are describing. I had a similar issue and believed that I had autotuned. Apparently it must not have taken, or interrupted it. after my third autotune it worked and has continued to work since.

Be sure to autotune with a full volume like you would use in a brew session. And leave it alone until it completes (in my PID's case that meant that it stopped flashing).


For my PID I did the following:

1. In display mode 1 or 2 press "set" and hold for two seconds to display parameter menu.
2. Press "set" 9 times to get to "t" - use increment and decrement buttons to set value to "2" for SSR outputs.
3. Press "set" and use increment and decrement buttons to set "SN" code to 21 for (PTD100Rtd probes)
4. Press "set" and if "Dp" = "0" then leave as is for F degree reading.
5. Press "set" 12 times (A/M) use increment and decrement buttons to set value to "0" for manual mode

note the following assumptions:

a. OP-A (output mode) for the SYL-2352 PID is only available in the SSR control output configuration - so there is no need to set it.
b. COOL (System function, i.e. heating/cooling) for the SYL-2352 PID it is preset to 10 and that is the correct setting for heating and F temp; C = setting 2).

To operate in Manual mode with the above set:
1. press "A/M" to switch to manual Mode
2. use increment and decrement buttons to set value for % of power to element


To Autotune:
1. Press "set" to get to "at" - use increment and decrement buttons to set value to "2". It will flash and automatically start autotune. To do this correctly you want to autotune with your typical strike water volume and you have to be over 10F away from that target (start the autotune early, it seems to work better IME).
2. Once it is done on autotune you need to go in and reset the a/m back to "1" so you can use auto and manual heating modes. Autotune pushes the A/M setting back to 2 (manual mode prohibited).
