Video from @Viernes showing PID adjustment method.

I have no idea what to do with this but it probably means something?

    Thanks for the link. The video is helpful to show how to access the pid menu but it would be great to have a more detailed explanation somewhere of how and when those adjustments are done and what they change…

    By the way, I notice you no longer list in your sig that combination conical and flat grinder that looks like a versalab, and you only use the olympia moca sd with both the decent and the nurri now. Did you get to use that earlier grinder with the lever? Was the moca significantly better?

      Thanks for this link to Vierne’s video, Tom!

      chlorox V messaged to say the PID adjustment was mentioned in the manual. No idea od the depth of detail though.

      The grinder you referenced is the Honne (review is in the knowledge base) and it’s currently in the roastery collecting dust. I needed room on my bench and 2x Moca SDs take up a similar amount of space as 1x Honne. Both are superb grinders IMHO.

      Out of curiosity… is this after the software patch or was the PID settings always available by clicking the two buttons simultaneously and turning the machine on?

      I don’t know what “brain” the machine has, but the same procedure applies to many machines, including Lelit, Profitec and ECM (Gicar).

      If the architecture of the machine is similar to the V Evo, you could borrow the PID settings from the manual as a starting point.

        MediumRoastSteam If the architecture of the machine is similar to the V Evo, you could borrow the PID settings from the manual as a starting point.

        Possible.

        I need to see how much detail is in the manual. I’ll report back soon.

        Yep it’s all there (if all else fails…)

        Not sure I’m any the wiser 😀

          In your case since yoi don’t have any shortfall whatsoever in your grouphead T3, you have no need to mess with your pid so if I were in your shoes, I would leave it alone :) but that’s just me…

            MediumRoastSteam It’s strange however how the microswitch got activated even though the machine wasn’t on in your case, but for Tom, it was the opposite.

            Just saw this. Apologies I got my “does” and my doesn’"t mixed up.

            tompoland I agree with leaving it alone because there’s one single pid loop shared amongst both boilers and the group. Rather than separate pid parameters for each boiler and the group. This means for example, the steam boiler has a pid setting that’s more about stability than steaming.

            tompoland As Dave advised, it looks like a single PID settings for all the three, unless it can loop through Es. Ex: Choose, E1, set the PIDs, choose E2, etc.

              dfk41 how can one pid setting control 3 different functions

              Good question, IMO. They might have programmed it that way!

              dfk41 it’s one PID, not one PID setting. One PID, three settings, as I understand it David.

              It was covered by @Viernes waaaaay back earlier in the thread but hopefully someone can remind us all again.

                tompoland That does not make sense to me though Tom. Any idea where the Viernes thing is? DAve said
                ‘ there’s one single pid loop shared amongst both boilers and the group. Rather than separate pid parameters for each boiler and the group.’
                To me, that suggests there is no method of independently altering the three things on the loop……as I said, my tech knowledge is not that good, but it also makes me wonder why the Evo did not do it that way?

                  dfk41

                  @DavecUK will be able to shed some light on it I’m sure. But I can at least confirm that water, steam and group head temperature are all able to be set independently of each other.

                  The manual refers to a “3 probe PID”.

                    tompoland @DavecUK had a prototype machine Tom. He made recommendations (no idea what!) but whether or not those were acted upon no one knows. SO in effect, the Evo can set its own temperature and then full control over each pid parameter for the group and both boilers. Please make it easy for my befuddled old brain and say the Nurri has exactly the same control, but perhaps delivered in a different way!
