New BODEGA Humidor With RH control.

[chr is]

Ok I feel that some of the advanced tuning methods I have recorded might be to advanced for the general public.

LETS GET BACK TO THE BASICS AGAIN.

I was running a few weeks ago with a little water dish in the water box, I was testing without touching the probe or re wrapping the probe. I purchased water dishes a few weeks ago to use in the bodega water box they are 3.5″x3.5″, and started testing a unit this morning.

EVERYONE with less water in the chamber there is less TEMP variations making more level conditions for RH and DP. This will Make it a lot easier to run the unit and maintain way more of a flatline for the average user, like everyone demands. I love the water box and I’m still using it in 2 machines. This is Just another method to manipulate the vapor in the chamber with less rebound in our state from the components working together. DRY FILTER PLEASE fill water dish without spillage.

Advance Method recommendations for those of you that are committed to figuring it out. The candy cane coil need to be not enterally tight when u set the wire length which should be tight. With the probe set and hanging in place spread apart the candy cane wrap tightening the wire enterally around the probe. 4 Wraps seems to work well for me

I have a correction. from the above post and an insight in to ever early post . I feel very foolish here, and want to go hide in a hole and not bother, but that wouldn’t be right of me and would show poor character. SO SORRY ALL IN ONE

I”M testing basic running method probe hanging no wraps, WATER BOX FULL, probe is touch the copper band no problem. AS OF NOW, EARLY OBSERVATION tell me, this might be the best way to run. After the probe is unwrapped turn the machine off for a minute. I did try this once or twice before and the a machine did not make any adjustment or respond, maybe the temp logger was out of the machine and it was a major mess up. I just do not recall

There is loose wire tucked behind the cooper band, so the probe just hangs no tension. SO SORRY. I WASTED TIME Fing around? Should just called the supplier for instructions on calibrating the temp prob.

Back to the basics. My probe is moving and loosing it orientation in space effecting the components, Causing spikes on the RH a little eventually I believe. This is an observation i made watching the patterns decay a little on the graph. I have fastened the probe down with wire ties. I drilled 4 holes to lace the tie through. I’m hoping this is the last and only thing that should be done by anyone. It would just make it easy for everyone and hopefully consistent throughout the tune THE Same .TESTING IS BEING DONE LOOKS REALLY GOOD. No promises though.

Back to the Basics. The mounts is working great, stabilizing temps. I got into all the machines this morning. I wrapped the temp probes again4 times. I mounted the probe and it’s semi loose wrap behind the band with an inside loop in the zip tie and I twisted the probe and the wraps tight. This protect the probe from being bumped and moving. Even further temp stability occurred. I compared the last 5 days to yesterday and what the machines are saying this morning. My reading are the best and with stabilize the probe from moving  and putting a few wraps back in, I thinks this will be my final times opening up the back. The due point here in the desert has been low in the single digits.  Hope I painted a good picture of what  I think is going on and happening with these modifications.

Still looking in routinely on the machines. I have backed off temps to 70 degs on the machine and every things good will see how things go after  1/2 a day.  My house has been getting warmer and the room the machines are in has been too. I think this may be having an effect on my machine as is not that cold as it was a few weeks or a month ago. The machine would have to work harder.

I also noticed all this time, after the machine would run for a day or 2 with it temp set to 68, Temps would get to 66 causing raises and falls on the graph. So 70 might get me 68 ish tomorrow and I’ll be set there and know what’s happening. If this is a programable chip. The 68deg info might be getting  corrupt or the programmed info  might have incorrect info programmed in,  or it cannot cope running out below it parameters.  Crazy thoughts. Most likely it is the room the machines are in being to warm at 78ish. still using the machine for there intended purposes just fine no matter how the Govee graph looks.

Wayleaf is still holding steady and doing good. Here is the update with new shelves.

Thanks for sharing! I was waiting for someone to mod one of those
