## Resistive Heater
When using resistive heaters with the Thermostat, ensure that the thermal load has sufficient cooling, and connect the heater to TEC0- and TEC0+ or TEC1- and TEC1+.
Then, set `max_i_neg` and `output_min` to 0 A with `pwm <ch> max_i_neg 0` and `pid <ch> output_min 0`, and make sure that `output_max` is non-negative.
