PID Controller (General)
1. Why does the output LED of the PID controller blink?
2. How long does it take for a controller to auto-tune?
3. Why I can not set the cycle time to 1 second for SSR output?
4. Difference between the PID mode and the ON/OFF mode (Why my output is cycling ON/OFF?)
5. How to calibrate a controller?
6. Why does my reading jump around fast/unstable?
7. How to use SYL-2342/SYL-2342P to drive a SSR with an external AC-DC power supply? 
8. PID wiring examples for Carlin Burners 

PID Controller (Advanced)
A1. Do I need a ramp soak PID, or a PID with timer? 
A2. Introduction for Wireless (WIFI or Bluetooth) advanced PID controllers
A3. Comparison table for ramp soak PIDs 
A4. Auber controller complexity level comparison table 

Coffee Machine Kit
General questions:
A1. How to build a kit for my coffee machine?
A2. How to download the manual for coffee machine kits?
A3. How to remove the PID controller from the coffee machine?
A4. I got the pre-infusion kit. After the pre-infusion, the value releases the pressure during the pause/dwell time (Td). Is it better to keep the valve activated (i.e., not releasing the pressure)?
A5. Can I upgrade the regular kit for Rancilio Silvia (KIT-RSRTDNb or KIT-RSRTD) to a pre-infusion kit (KIT-RSPb)?
A6. Can I upgrade the regular kit for Gaggia Classic (KIT-GG) to a pre-infusion kit (KIT-GGP)?
A7. Can I mount the PID controller inside of the espresso machine?
Questions for specific espresso machines:
B1. Can I install your PID kit on the Santos 75 espresso machine?
B2. I have an espresso machine with a heat exchanger type of boiler. Do you have a kit to control it?
B3. Can I install a PID kit on the Rancilio Lucy espresso machine?
B4. Can I install a PID kit on an Isomac Venus espresso machine?
B5. Can I install a PID kit on an ECM Casa V espresso machine?
Common troubleshooting guides: 
11. What should I do if the thermal protection is triggered?
12. The kit has been working fine for a while but now the temperature reading starts to jump up and down wildly, what's the problem?
13. The pre-infusion button on the PID controller doesn't seem to activate the pump. 
14. The boiler in my espresso machine won't heat up. 

Solid State Relay and Contactor
1. Which relay should I use, solid state relay or mechanical relay?
2. Which SSR should I chosse?
3. Do I need a heat sink for the SSR?
4. Can I test a SSR with a multimeter? 
5. What is the difference between SSR, SSVR and EZboil system? 
6. How to connect more than one SSRs to the same controller? 

Sensors
1. What can I use to extend my RTD wire?
2. What can I use to extend my thermocouple wire?
3. How to join the thermocouple extension wire?
4. The measurement on the controller is not consistent with other standard, is my controller or thermocouple (TC) defective?
5. How to use a switch to select sensor input (wiring examples)?
6. I think my temperature sensor reading is inaccurate. How I can prove it? 
7. What is the difference between the type k thermocouple and PT100 RTD temperature sensor? 
8. (TC-K-MAG) Why is my magnet sensor's reading much lower than a reference thermometer?

Automobile Gauge
1. Can the automobile gauge SYL-1813 work with more than one probe?
2. Can I use VDO sensor for the automobile gauge?
3. What is the difference between TC-KEGT and TC-KEGTS probes?
