D - head over to the Auber Instructions sections. Auber Simple Start should help get you started. I'm attaching the instructions for the model that your controller uses, also.
The PID controller settings will actually make sense, once you get it down that there are 3 variables, in each of the 6 "steps."
C0x - What box temp?
e0x - What's the "trigger?" Time or internal meat temp (t or F)
t0x or F0x (depending on the trigger) - How long or how much? (how much time, or what internal temp?)
Each "step" repeats these three variables. If you only need one, like for ribs (235 for 6 hours), you would keep steps 2-6 set to 0, time, and 0. Only program the temps you need. You can also use the pre-programmed "recipes." Check the manual for the saved recipe section, and how to save your own.
I know the controller can be a bit intimidating, but once you use it a bit, you'll see it's actually pretty straightforward, when you understand the 3 pieces of information it needs to do its job.....box temp, trigger, and how much.

D- I was also a bit confused by the PID controller when I first received my 3-D a few months ago. What helped me was to use the pre-programmed recipes (ribs and pork butt) for my first few smokes. I was really thrown off by the "H" error code message and the funky looking letters on the controller. However, the folks on this forum are a great help and after a few smokes the programmer just clicked for me ..
