To Do
- Temperature sensor volatility remains a problem, rendering the PID D term unusable.
- Implement a better smoothing function. Consider forward weighted moving average over significantly more than 10 terms.
- Look at the run from 2024-09-03 to find out the period of the high temperature swings.
- Look at the data from 2024-09-04 to find the noisiness at low temperature.

Run 1
- Thermocouple response is very laggy.
- Clock doesn't run when temperature is outside range.
- Laggy thermocouple means temperature overshoots.
- Rate throttle is aggressive, but necessary given laggy thermocouple.
- Temperature reading may be a bit on the low side (actual is 5 - 10f higher), though tough to say because of lag.
