The Raspberry Pi formerly on the Dyna Kiln 100 has been moved to the Evenheat. The [[Dyna Kiln N100|firing instructions are on that page]]. If you understand this well enough to move the whole sections over, please do. | |||
# Plug in the temperature controller's power plug and flip the controller's power switch; this will light up the temperature controller's control panel. The current temperature (in red) should read room temperature (somewhere around 70F). Touch the thermocouple tip for a minute and check that the current temperature raises closer to the mid/high 80s (the temperature of the surface of your skin), to ensure that the thermocouple's polarity is correct. | # Plug in the temperature controller's power plug and flip the controller's power switch; this will light up the temperature controller's control panel.

PID monitor read out will not read temperatures higher that about 1600, however, it fires to cone 6 (2232) no problem. | |||
If you have the target temp set higher than it can read the temperature will keep rising until the cone sitter automatically turns it off. | |||
