The Gaggia Classic has a max power consumption of more than 1400W, which can easily burn up a cheap SSR. 1 RELAY alarm: Normal open, capacity 250V/3A AC or 30V/3A DC Learn more. add to list. This guide explains this well, and also explains what to do if your home wiring is not correct: https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/195229/in-a-light-switch-how-can-i-tell-if-the-black-wire-is-really-hot-and-the-white. A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Applications I will purchase the PID kit with thermocouple and SSR from aliexpress and buy these rest small items from Mr. You signed in with another tab or window. The YouTube video from wll about replacing the boiler made the whole thing very easy. Main Output: SSR: Open circuit: 4V, Closed Circuit: 24V40mA DC If you really want these features, its probably time to think about upgrading your machine. You want to connect the PIDs mains power terminal to the side of the Gaggia power switch that cuts out power when the machine is off. Heat the shrink tubing. The factory settings have been working well for me, aside from a ~5 degree C overshoot when it first reaches the target temperature. The fun of the PID is not just the great stability, but the ability to fine tune the brew temperature to your taste! Depending on the draw of the display (I saw 50mA somewhere), you could also try running it off a battery. Gaggiuino started as an idea to improve an already capable coffee machine while keeping the machine appearance and button functionality as close as possible to the original. Feb 12, 2021. I am glad you solved the problem, Murat. If youre not comfortable installing this yourself, and taking on any followup maintenance, I think you would be much better off purchasing a machine that comes with a PID from the factory. PID, Auto Shot Timer Add to Watch list. Its threaded on, and should not be very tight. If you do this, secure a zip tie to the end of the sleeve inside the machine to keep it from pulling out. It just overrides the PID and heats up the boiler to the factory preset steaming temperature.Links to parts [None are affiliate links]https://bit.ly/3gL9c95 - XMT 7100 PID unithttps://bit.ly/3xgAHhc - PT100 precision temperature sensorhttps://bit.ly/3wnZD6l - Fotek solid state relay 25Amphttps://amzn.to/3xamPFg - cable sleeve (different widths available)https://amzn.to/2RSAge0 - magnetic tape (example link, different widths available)https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3671244 - 3D printed case file (print this locally)https://bit.ly/3pPphP0 - the unattractive aluminium enclosure if you wish to go that routeYou will also need:1. Its no secret that the chassis of the Classic has extremely sharp edges. I am flattered, but will have to pass. Contrary to the Gaggia circuit diagram, Black is live, White is neutral, a minor issue. The connector is on the back of the machine, where mains power is tapped with a piggyback connector and goes to the PID. Gaggia RI9380/46 Classic Pro - Mquina de expreso, slida, acero inoxidable cepillado . Hi Chris. Indeed, not an option. Brilliant article. The steam mode has its own thermostat, which is very similar to the brew thermostat that the PID replaced, except that its temperature range is more or less as you described. Im so thankful for this. Leave as much of the thermal grease in place as possible. Watching the steam temp with the PID is interesting (I know it has no effect on it, but it is cool to see how it reacts now) and it is definitely best practice to steam while its on its way up in temp, once it hits the set point it comes down for a while (mine settled around 130 before it started back up). From: 100,00 . The enclosures purpose is first to protect you from the mains current, and second, to make it easier to attach the PID to the Gaggia. I just started working as a barista. This was built on an Adafruit Metro Mini, which is directly compatible with the Arduino Uno R3, but you can use any Arduino board as long as it has enough pins and it supports I2C. It appears to be from 1998 and is barely used. From what I gather, youre located in the lower mainland (B.C.)? As for your PID always remaining on, it looks like you wired it to the unswitched mains, instead of the switched power. Hi, thanks for the articely, it was great help to do the initial steps. https://www.vertex-qis.co.uk/Manuals/PT100_con.pdf. Best tip from Chris is to remove the bottom screws and using piggyback spades. Always double-check your specific models wiring terminal layout and numbering scheme. 40A SSR Solid state relay included Current Status. Does this pid control both the group head water and steam wand? Thanks. You can search on Reddit, a few people have made these modifications.

Hey Chris, To set the target temperature, press the 'Set' button on the front of the panel. If you do this, consider counter-sinking the magnet so that it is flush with the outisde of the box. Gaggia Classic OPV spring mod kit - Standard version (just springs) $12.78 Shades of Coffee Slim drip tray complete with long vent tube for Gaggia Classic $30.67 Shades of Coffee Bottomless Portafilter with walnut wooden handle (smooth) - for Gaggia Classic / Classic Pro $42.17 Shades of Coffee Because the PID runs on mains voltages, an enclosure is required. Sure enough, it powered up. Brass is soft and easy to drill, and all the adapter needs to do is provide a connection between the thermocouple and the boiler, so there would be no hard in doing this. 295.00 . Thanks. Thanks again for the write up, Ill be playing around with temperature for the next week! This design is intended to be as simple as possible in terms of the installation, and requires minimal modification to the Gaggia machine. No soldering or cut cases required for the . The lack of consistency pre-PID is frustrating, because you can get everything else right and still be at the mercy of the temperature determined by the thermostat cycle. I will monitor it over the next few days, but if the coffee takes good, and the only thing I notice is the warmer cup tray, Ill be fine with that, better in fact! This will be the one at the bottom of the boiler, closest to the group head. This works well with a PID for light & medium roasts. And this is the thermometer out the back. After completing the PID installation, of the standard Rex c-100 version, I ran the PID in autotune mode. Chris, this is a far simpler way to add preinfusion. This process involves working with potentially lethal mains-level voltages. When I put everything back together, my machine started shorting out and tripping the circuit breaker on . However, depending on the seller, some settings may need to be changed. Regarding the M4 screw/ thermocouple, is it possible to amend the picture? Hi Jimmy. Terrific write-up thank you for posting it! I should pointed out that the temperature ranges I was referring to were with the -8C offset on the PID. But Ive downloaded the wiring diagram for my machine. QB-T7100 48*24mm Programmable Digital PID Temperature Controller AC/DC 85-250V Hi Nish. One bit of note and a request. Nevertheless, it will take some time to get it and make a change of the temperature sensor. 102 is way too low, you wont get useful steaming at that low a temperature. If anyone is 3d printing the enclosure and doesnt want to tape or otherwise attach it to the Gaggia, I have made these small hooks that can be glued on to the enclosure: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4938828. Likewise, you can use 22 awg for the connection between the PID and the SSR. I decided to go the do-it-yourself route, ordering the parts separately, at a fraction of the cost of the kits. You could definitely drill out the adapter a bit to get the thermocouple to fit. There is a small copper pipe inside the boiler that draws the hot water from the top ( by design)which is quite clever but it still suffers from wild temp fluctuations intra shot even with a pid because cold water is being drawn in to replace the lost hot water for your espresso. Then the PID will only switch on when the boiler temperature drops below the target temperature. This wont be enough for the boiler heating element. I did that exercise before installing the PID, behavior should be identical as that time. Thanks in advance for any reply! Hi Jun, glad you found this helpful. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. PID example MAX31865 driver is finished. From the factory, the GC has two thermostats, one for brew, which the thermocouple + PID + SSR replaces, and one for steam, which stays untouched. and its definately better than Auber which is NOT preinfustion by kicking off solenoid. Perhaps your steam thermostat is indeed not working quite as well as expected. You can buy them at Ace hardware for about twenty five cents each. If nothing happens, download Xcode and try again. Hi David. Remove the portafilter and water tank. Just use a multimeter to find the switched mains, and you should be able to follow the thermostat wires. You should see a strange number when the PID first powers on, then after about 3-5 seconds it should switch to the temperature reading from the thermocouple. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Optionally, you can add some sleeving to the wires running between the Gaggia and the PID. Anyway, thank you Chris. Hey Chris, Chris thank you so much. More to explore . Hi Evan. And anything is going to be a huge improvement over the thermostat that the PID replaces. Autotuning had resulted in shot instability up to 10 degrees during a shot probably because conditions during standby and during brewing are very different than each other. Hi Miguel. Its stimulated a lot of interesting discussion! Regardless of which thermocouple you choose to use, you will also need to factor in an offset no matter what thermocouple you use, and this is really based on your tastes. 1. I love the Lego enclosure idea. You may need to extend the leads depending on where you decide to mount the SSR. I dont want to void my warranty. If you use anything different you'll need to make adjustments to the 3D printed parts. I guess I could revert the machine and see what I get. 24,00 . Run two 12 volt wires from the + and terminals of the solid state relay and out the back of the Classic, again using the same slot. When the PID signals the SSR, as indicated by the brew ready light and the output led on the PID, the pressure coming out of the pump decreases, and then increases again after the PID out to the SSR turns off. I am only using the Rex temporarily while working on a project with a Raspberry Pi (and the cost of the Rex was only a couple dollars when ordering the SSR), otherwise I would reprint the entire enclosure with the hooks built in. Try powering the PID directly from mains power, with just the thermocouple connected (disconnect the SSR). I installed the PID so that there are no permanent modifications to the machine, and the Gaggia can be returned to factory condition at any time. Hi Brian. Do you have any idea how to do? Using two 5-8 cm pieces of properly-rated wire (15 amps for North America), make two connectors to connect the thermostat wires to the AC terminals of the solid state relay. The 12 volt wires from the SSR connect to terminals 4 and 5. These connectors are hard to reach, and are on very tight. It doesnt matter which thermostat wire is connected to which of the AC terminals on the solid state relay. Ill try to get a new thermostat from a reputable place, see if that solves the problem, and if it remains then something else in the machine is wrong. Thanks. Nevertheless, I will take a look and see what values my controller is set to. To set the target temperature, press the Set button on the front of the panel. Im in North America btw. Which one shall we buy? Also, the PID generates almost no heat, because the work is done by the SSR, and this is heat-sinked to the Gaggia. The MCP9600 board is fastened with a screw to the small ledge inside the 3D printed box. Mr Shades is selling many small items (piggyback, spade, thermal paste, power cable, rubber grommet etc.) . Hi Jeff. You will be working with potentially lethal mains voltages. I actually installed mine and then saw your thread, which is awesome to see other people using the same PID. Marca: Gaggia: Capacidad: 72 Onzas: Color: Acero inoxidable cepillado: Dimensiones del producto: Mechanical Rocker Switches You can verify the SSR by disconnecting its AC terminals and checking that it is indeed turning on and off. I hesitate to identify wires by their color, as the wire colors in the Gaggia seem to vary from year to year and from region to region. Is P=620 maybe an overkill, as I havent seen such a big value at other places? When the steam switch is on, the PID stays on but because the boiler temperature in steam mode is much higher than the brew temperature of the PID, the PID provides no power to the SSR and heating element. Chris, i read some comments here about steam. Hi Anton. Measured everything with multimeter, then realized that C100 doesnt get main while machine is on based on the lights. It would be almost impossible for me to give you a complete list of the parts from Mr Shades that you will need, as it will depend on the PID and SSR models you order. Hello Chris, I was like WTF. If the brand or source is questionable, I would recommend derating the current by a factor of 2 or 3 and going for a model rated for 25-40A just to be safe. Thanks for the quick reply. Is this a typo on your part or a mistake on their part? Here are some pictures of the Lego enclosure: https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/owpfe7/i_made_a_lego_enclosure_for_rex_c100_pid/. Once the machine has been set to 9 bars of pressure (see bottom of article), the next big improvement is the addition of a PID. This is really a DIY project. Look at Gaggia classic PID install instructions. The best simple info I found was a table that summarized what INCREASING each of the PID parameters would do: which I used to adjust my settings. (Markings can be found on front side of the plug) 2-Check the color of the cable which shows L sign on the plug- meaning Live. Heres how to install a PID on the Gaggia Classic Pro. The value proposition goes right out the window at that point because you're now at nearly $700 if you bought the machine new. Free shipping. The microfoam created by the commercial steam wand is tight enough for high quality latte art. However with the new steaming alarm system, I get a decrease around 10 degrees in steaming temperature as soon as AA SSR shuts down the boiler at the temperature I set, even it turns on right away (my setting is AL:156 AH:155 degrees Celcius). I cant see why you couldnt. Close the PID enclosure, and attach it to the side of the Classic. I have read reports of measurements of up to 8 degrees C lower at the portafilter. You should be done! shades uses 2 connecting one ssr thru the other for steam. But it will require some dismantling of the work you have done. Hello, I would re-crimp any connections that look suspicious. Somebody else (Andrue) had also pointed this error out. The best part is I am only in about $40 on my kit compared to around $150 for the pre made kits. https://www.reddit.com/r/gaggiaclassic/comments/kmm09a/diy_pid_for_my_gaggia_classic/, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32811149954.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.49554c4dRzoluB, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YBMRAH4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y33RZ8F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QJW9FKS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1, M4 threaded K-type thermocouple (widely available from Amazon, etc as a replacement part for 3D printers), 128x64 I2C OLED screen (substitute any screen you prefer but you'll need to update the code for your specific unit). Between SSR and PID I was planning on using 22 awg wire given its a lower power requirement. Most likely they will have the same connector types as the REX-C100, but its always possible that you will need different connectors depending on what you end up ordering. I think one of either is the one which Shades of Coffee is using. add to list. There was a problem preparing your codespace, please try again. Hi Brandon. Do you observe the same temperature ranges? Gaggia Classic Pro DIY PID controllerGithub page with firmware for ESP32 - https://github.com/tosteich/Espresso_PIDSome pictures of internal setup - https://. The Gaggia Classic is a very capable espresso machine that gets even better with a couple of improvements. For the Gaggia Classic, taking into account the temperature drop between the boiler and the group head (5-8 degrees C), the PID target temperature should be set to about 103 degrees C or 220 degrees F at sea level. The image I used is wrong and confusing, and I have now updated it. Hello, I acquired and prepared all cables and SSR unit thanks to your well prepared title above. Thanks. Hi Kraken. If you used piggyback connectors, it should be a quick job to move the right one over to the correct switch terminal. My next thought was that the controller wasnt reading the correct temperature. Thank you very much if you find the time to answer me . Once you are able use the PID temperature readout to determine exactly what the steam cycle is, you know when to start steaming for more or less endless steam. I also cleaned the part of the group head that that gasket sits in. The only way to cut it is to unplug the machine. I have only been drinking milk drinks and americanos because the shots I was pulling were always overly bitter, sour, or both, regardless of grind and quantity. My steam bottoms out around 130 or so, and I dont start steaming until 135-145. Pretty much any material should work fine as the outside of the Gaggia never gets hot enough to melt most thermoplastics. Perhaps Ill use a spare Arduino or FPGA to PWM the boiler while brewing as someone else was saying. Wire colors and positions seem to vary. Mains is house current. Hey. The thermocouple that I ordered fit into the threaded adapter without any modifications. One end is connected to the mains connector at the back (where it is showing N sign), the other end is connected to the back of the on off switch (as you showed on the picture above). A cheap multimeter is all you need. 15,00 . different wiring though. Should this be cause for concern, maybe caused by an error in wiring the PID? Thats an awesome enclosure. Chris, do you recall what size flat head screw was used on the 3d printed box for the REX-100? I found this M8 female to M4 male reducer: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284317077676. It is the perfect place. For the sake of piece of mind, I have ordered last night a K type thermocouple in order to replace the RTD P100 and close the open loop in my head about PID type and sensor. Nikola. The GC comes from the factory with a simple thermostat that turns on at a certain pre-set temperature, and turns off at another pre-set temperature. Here are a couple of examples: Hi Chris, Awesome guide! Hey Chris, Im wanting to put the pid into an extended 3d printed driptray. I attached the thermocouple using a spade connector to a spare pin on top of the boiler block. I am beginning to suspect that Gaggia created as many combinations of wiring configurations and colors as they made machines. This is sold on amazon Hi Murat. At a minimum, I think you would need the following: I dont see piggyback connectors on Mr Shades list, maybe those are part of the set of wires, but its not clear. That being said, the original brew thermostat is supposed to be 107C, so could perhaps reach even higher temperatures? I have found the exact PID unit which Mr Shades is using and purchased it beside the Rex C100 kit you mentioned above: Marca: Gaggia. Keep the thermostat, in case you want to return the Classic back to factory condition. I can only find vids and instruction for the pro (does anyone have links for the older version?) Ive been having trouble steaming milk lately, and wonder if there might be something wrong with the thermostat in my machine, wiring problems extending to this as well, or the steam valve might finally be needing a replacement. did the REX-100 require most of the default setting to be changed or is it similar to changing like shades PID or Auber PID. My only concern is the diagramm I downloaded from whole latte love shows different connections then what I have seen in my unit This approach would make your machine a bit weird to someone who wasnt aware of what you did, as the brew function would be completely unusable without adjusting the temperature. I have an old Gaggia Carezza (uses the Gaggia / SaecoEF0030/A Boiler). Just leave the SSR disconnected, or dont install it at all. Set the cover and screws aside. The OLED and buttons can be secured with your favorite adhesive. If youre following a recipe that calls for a specific water temperature, then it would be easier to do this with an offset at the PID. Hello Chris, If the wiring was done correctly, the PID should power up when the Classic is turned on. Because the wiring connections can vary between manufacturers, you should bench-test your setup before final assembly. Heres a picture of the screws I used, with screwdriver for scale: Great article and development, congrats! to use Codespaces. This is the only concern left for me. Youre giving up one of the two temperature readouts, so youll probably only see the actual temperature, as opposed to the target temperature, and I guess you can switch between the two with a button press. I hope you enjoy your upgraded GC as much as I do mine! Connect one meter probe to ground (the GC chassis should always be grounded, otherwise connect to the green wire coming from the power socket at the back). i set an upper an lower limit on alarms. Do you know how to do this? I bought the same parts as you have reccomended in the article but have run into the issue that the thermocouple is too large to fit into the adapter (theyre approx the same OD). Tags Slim PID Holder for Gaggia Classic Design to 3D. Tap the switched hot/load mains power: disconnect the lower left-hand (if facing the front of the machine) wire from the power switch. To be clear, a PID can increases the likelihood of a consistent starting temperature. So far the temp range Ive seen when the heater cycles on/off (after ~30 mins of warming up) is ~90C to ~97C. I then thought what if? and decided to change the mains wires to the opposite terminals. It is a really tight fit to get the REX C-100 PID inside the machine. I placed the SSR toward the left side of the back panel if facing the front of the machine. You could approach this two ways. Thread the thermocouple wire through to the back of the machine, and out the same slot as was used for the other wires. Perhaps you are refering to the video by Damian Witonski. When I say old, it is still unused new in the box. (PID Temperature Controller Meter Indicator, Jaybva Digital Universal Thermostat C and Fahrenhe F Display SSR and Alarm Output 40A Solid State Relay and Thermocouple Probe Heat Sink Included)? When I started steaming at that point thermostat never shut down the boiler because temperature did not reach to limit of thermostat. Hi Andrue. Also really awesome write up. Its not hard if you know what you are doing and there is at least one youtube vid showing how its done. QB-T7200 48*24mm Programmable Digital PID Temperature Controller with Built-in 5A Solid State Relay XMT7100 AC/DC85~260V. This resulted in the PID not powering up even though the machine did. 2. Then use the left/right buttons to select the digits to increase and decrease, and the up/down buttons to change the digits. Hi Eddie. Its pretty straightforward. Check for wire that might have been too aggressively stripped, where some of the conductor might have also been cut away. Guys, there is mains voltage here. This is because the switch is connecting the terminals vertically when it is turned on. A couple of zip ties come in handy here. At the amperages required to control the boiler heating element, you need an SSR that has enough mass and exposed metal to be able to attach it to a heat sink. Is it necessary to use a heat sink with the SSR installation? Opciones de compra y productos Add-on . I wondered if you ended up testing both in the end. Are you sure you want to create this branch? How do I ensure that Im tapping the neutral mains? Basically, instead of running the pump for a few seconds and then shutting it off (which dumps your pressure courtesy of the solenoid valve) you open the steam valve about 1/4 to half way, hit the brew switch and then slowly close the steam valve (about 5 seconds or so). Shades uses an XMT7100 modified to run two SSRs: a DA for the brew temp and an AA for the steam temp. Its crazy. If in doubt, sit it out, and get some help. I have to mention that coffee taste is good, not harsh or bitter. All of this really means that you should balance whatever temperature you end up reading against what youre tasting, because thats what matters in the end. Not sure why that was the case. Did you make any changes to the setting of the PID? Tighten one end of your connector down to one of the solid state relays AC (~) terminals and plug the other end into one of the disconnected thermostat wires. However I dont know if my unit is properly calibrated and/or has a proper offset. If so, any idea how it can be achieved? r . If you go for a PID, you need to use a thermocouple.
