Now, if you use the OUTPUT_SCALE of 0.889, and PID is limited to +/- 1.0
as the
maximum range, it will limit the DAC output to +/-1.12 V. Is this
reasoning right?
Yes I think so. That's why Stuart S has his pid maxoutput set to

Is there a way to set a max limit or set a default?
Currently both those features are unimplemented...
It might also be nice if it were saved
