  • Mounted (with cable ties for now), auto tune ran and offset set to -8 which I think is approx if memory serves! Looking forward to getting stuck into learning more this time round!

  • Ha, was just about to go looking for the wiring diagram - I assume you don't need it now?

    I still need to fit the pump dimmer, LEDs (lol), and super steam mod to mine.

    How much did the PID kit cost, all in? I assume it's cheaper than buying a shades kit,

  • I sourced my bits from AliExpress for about £25 all-in.

  • Heya, wiring diagram may be good in case I decide to wire up an additional SSR for the steam control!

    3rd or 4th shot in so far and I'm getting just a 2 degrees fluctuation during pulling a shot which I think is fairly decent so far!

    Controller with SSR and an additional thermocouple (the one that comes with most controllers is the wrong size) was a whopping £19.64 on amazon.

    I paid about £2 for some piggyback crimps and I sacrificed a 13a power cable to use the wires from. The other crimps and crimping tool I already had.

    Toying with wiring up steam, however the joy of having the temperature read out now means I can crack open the steam valve at 140 or 145 degrees and it'll sit pretty at that temp rendering the steam control useless really!

    Rancilio silvia wand arriving tomorrow hopefully. This classic may be a keeper!

    Beans roasted last night. Fuck degassing as I am totally out!
