    Sold Anvil Foundry 10.5 Gallon Foundry™ with Pump Kit, Small Batch Ring & 5 gallon Water Boiler

    Located in Vancouver, WA. Bought for $610 in Sep 2020. Only used twice and it's in excellent condition - the Anvil gear has been sitting in its box for 2 years. It's no longer needed since I transitioned to a HERMS system. The water heater is Avantco WB19L 5 Gallon 128 Cup (19 Liter) Water...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Oops, I meant 45Q in my previous post. I can say the specific digital ports that act up is random. Is there any difference in the firmware initialization of 46D from 45Q? It really seems like the MEGA is (randomly) misreading port statuses on startup with 46D. I'll test 46D while I'm still on...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    That's a coincidence. I was just going to start up the panel to continue testing. As of last week I was still having the problem. Here's my config changes: Sometime in early September I upgraded to BruControl 7/31/2022 release. At the same time I upgrade to firmware 45O. Everything seemed to...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I updated the Wiring Map selection on the interface in BruControl to "Ethernet_FW_v46" - should that be "Default" since the Interface Wiring Map for v46 shows "Default" below? I also adjusted all the Analog ports to the new numbering. I compared my Ethernet wiring map from Feb to the current...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I'm finally getting around to upgrading to 46D firmware. I previously had the 45O firmware running with the 7/31 updated BruControl and had fixed all my analog port #'s. With the 45O firmware, everything was 100% reliable. After upgrading the MEGA2560 to 46D, none of my digital outputs seem...

    It's strange. The pots are numbered just like you would expect them to be laid out on the board: OUT 1 OUT 3 OUT 2 OUT 4 But what I'm seeing is this: OUT 1 OUT 4 OUT 2 OUT 3 I'm totally fine with this. I was chatting with a friend yesterday who was saying it...

    Well, maybe don't. I went back to retry things and I mistakenly had the voltmeter on the O3 voltage and adjusted the OUT 4 pot. It adjusted directly with each turn. It's a minor problem, but I verified this a number of times. The O3 voltage on my AA2 is actually adjusted with the OUT 4 pot and...

    #4 doesn't adjust at all with the output pot. That's true without the load. Let me check if the voltage changes with the load connected.

    R[odd] = 4702, R[even] = 1003 Near the pots all 4 are 4701

    So, using 24V I got 3 of the 4 outputs working 100% correctly. The lowest max voltage O4 can get down to is 6.2V. It's powering a fan anyway so not critical anyway.

    Let me switch it to a 24V feed and retry the alignment for 0-5V tonight. Thanks @RiverCityBrewer and @BrunDog!

    Yes. As I mentioned, I have 4.92V when set to 255.
