    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Good point hooking the leds up to the 120v side of things. I was planning just use the leds I had on hand but I think I'll order some 120v ones now. Cheers

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Thanks! I haven't really done any playing around with the UNO, and its been awhile since my last electronics class..... where do I put the resistors and what size should they be? Also the anode, thats the longer lead?

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I'd like to have leds that turn on when each outlet is on. I already have some that came with my UNO kit, so I'd like them to be powered from the UNO. Based off of 100AMP's diagram, I was thinking of connecting them somehow from the same connection points as the 2 orange wires. I'm assuming...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I have most of the parts for this already, and am planning to buy the rest shortly. I have a bunch of temp probes left over from building the STC 1000+. Can I use one of those instead of the one recommended here? Cheers!

    Stc-1000+

    Thanks. I did order a 1% tolerance but I didn't think about the wattage until after I ordered it. Good to know that I didn't order the wrong one. Cheers!

    What is the wattage of the resistor for the second probe? Is it 1/4W? Also Congrats Alpha! Cheers!

    Stc-1000+

    All the parts need for adding a second temp probe on the slow boat from China. Does anybody have any advice on adding the second probe? I've read through this thread and also the readme, so I understand what needs to be done, but am wondering if anyone has any pictures of what they did. Cheers!

    Stc-1000+

    I figured it out. I had the wrong com port selected. Once I figured that out, it worked no problem!

    Stc-1000+

    Currently trying to flash my stc-1000. I decided I'd try by holding wires on to the pins. The first time I tried to flash it, it seemed to start the process.... I had to send "d". when I did that, nothing seemed to happen (guessing my hand moved). Now when I try to do it again, when uploading to...

    Extract Brewing with electricity

    Hey all, I'm about to take the plunge into brewing with electricity. To start I'm just going to have and electric boil kettle which has the typical 5500w element in it. It will be controlled by the stilldragon controller. I'm assuming it will be pretty easy to scorch wort when adding extract...

    Thanks for the info. I don't have the pi yet, but I'm told it's rev b but with 256 mb ram. I'm okay with it being slower to load, so it sounds like I'll use this for brew pi and get another one to run raspbmc. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
