More about the PIDded La Pavoni
(also see the earlier blog about tweaking the PID and the original full blog about all installation details ) At the 2016 ConTeXt meeting in Kalenberg there is enough time to study the behaviour of the La Pavoni as it is idling during the presentations and frequently busy producing delicious espressos during the breaks when my one-person four-bedroom place gets visitors. I tried a different PID setting this time because sometimes the group temp seemed slow to recover from a deviation: The warmup is done using the internal pressostat of the La Pavoni and around the target group temp value of 77ºC I switch off the main power switch of the machine and hand over control to the Fuji PXG-4 and Artisan. PS 15 Oct 2016 -- a preview of the upcoming Artisan version which has buttons to raise/lower the target temperature of the Fuji PXG4 and also a slider: PS 16 Oct 2016, ran Autotune for a new set of PID settings: Works well on higher temps as well, in
