Adjusting the Artisan background profile DURING roasting

- Have you ever loaded a background profile in Artisan, only to find that you're not able to hit the curve? Even at 100% power? Of course you have! We all have. There's no shame. Maybe it was a cold roaster. Maybe your line voltage is lower than normal because everyone is using the A/C. Or maybe you overloaded the roaster a bit. Not to worry. This video shows how to perfectly re-adjust the placement of the background roast profile on-the-fly! This is a simple but often overlooked coffee-saving feature of the incredible Artisan Roaster Scope software. (Reminder: support Artisan via donating and/or signing up for their inventory tracking service called Artisan Plus... it integrates with Artisan software and provides TONS of useful reports and metrics on your roasting.)
So I accidentally scrolled in Artisan the other day and shifted my profile. It was just a mouse scroll to the side I think. Total accident but it shifted the profile curve like this and I was like "what the heck?!" and a little mad because my curve was already spot on 😂. But this is actually a useful tip now that I know when to use it. Thanks for sharing!
The left/right arrow keys do this, so is there a chance you hit one of those? (But perhaps there’s a mouse control as well). I didn’t show the keyboard shortcut in the video because sometimes they will increment your heat/air sliders instead.
Regardless, I’m glad you found something new in Artisan! It’s a great program with SO much capability that’s often a bit hidden away.
@@hermetheuscoffee I think it's a touchpad thing on my laptop. It was like a 2 finger scroll to the side. I need to just disable the touchpad and plug in a good old mouse because I'm constantly making unintentional gestures on the darn thing. Artisan is pretty awesome. I'm glad there is such a well made piece of software that is even open source / free to use. I love it!
Awesume magic. Thanks Jason
I’ve got the Smole 350g roaster and followed all of your videos and have finally gotten everything tuned just about perfectly. Using the numbers for PID you gave me got me close, but I was always following the curve under just like this video shows. ALWAYS. It was driving me nuts until I found the secret sauce for me was to have a tiny Integral value of 0.030. Once I did this. The roasts have always tracked up to the line before dry end and locked in the rest of the way.
So glad to hear this! I've actually updated my PID video with a caption during the discussion on the Integral value. Like you, I have discovered that very small Integral values can help punch the heat up a bit without resorting to high P values that cause oscillations. Glad you discovered this on your own!
@@hermetheuscoffee you have been such a huge help with all of this. I’d like to return the favor, im more of a woodworker than roaster so I built a prototype handle system for the Smole roaster body because they tapped the bottom aluminum piece as if they intended to build this. I’d love to send you one if you want to shoot me a PM
