-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.

 ### Limits

 output limits.

+It is possible to clamp the PID algorithm output independently of channel output limits. This is desirable when e.g. there is a need to keep the current value above a certain threshold in closed-loop mode.
