TC4 PID Control Duty Min-Max

For example on my machine I have 20-80 min/max for ot1, set in TC4. 20% is the minimum I am using for preheat, and 65-72% is maximum reached in my roasts. Did you tried to perform any kind of heat control with the Artisan PID? even the simplest, like reaching and maintaining a fixed preheat temperature ?

Yes, to tune the pid, at first with fixed temperature, then with a curve. But with wrong duty cycle value (-100/100) my settings was based on the video tutorial "TC4 Pid Control" ! Asap I wil make new tests with value 0/100 to see the impact. The idea of narrowest values seems interesting, I will try next.
