Dear David,
As I said yesterday, I linked PID's output Control Signal to a minus 1 then
to OF. The results are still very *WEIRD. *OF becomes minus value which is
not reasonable very much i.e. the window is open towards abnormal
direction; CO2 concentration is not decreasing as we hoped, however, it is
becoming much more bigger e.g. 4000 ppm.
Now, I only would like a solution for this problem as I said in last email
and the adequate explanations for this OF_CO2 concentration_PID control
issue.
Many thanks in advance!
