I'm in! Thanks.

Second the recommendation for Centennial Blonde.

Couldn't agree more with the last post. Original poster is lucky to be alive as that circuit is a death trap; 240 volts going through an completely unsuitable switch that he was directly touching. Please chuck everything attached to this setup and start over with some professional guidance.

Is is just me or are the image files missing/broken. I can see the videos but not the pictures.

My guess is that your controller is configured to vary the voltage of the signal going the SSR (you described as controlling the "gain"). Therefore, if you set it at 50%, then it sends 50% of the voltage to SSR which would not be enough to switch it off. The duty cycle of your SSR needs to...

Count me in! Thanks.

Trash compactor bags. They are a heavier gauge plastic to accommodate the compaction and resulting heavier loads. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Brute-Super-Tuff-20-Gallon-Size-Compactor-Bags-20-Ct/10997361

I'm also in Chandler (Chandler mall area). I'm just finishing up an eBIAB system which means I'm not mobile for brew days so I'm not sure how that's going to work out. I'd be willing to host a session when we get back into suitable weather.

Sorry, just re-read your post and realized you were referring to the switches, not the temp sensors. May I ask what you have connected to line 3? That pin is essentially the output of the switch and should be connected to whatever you are trying to turn on (typically a relay). If so, what...

Sounds like the sensors are only operating in parasitic mode? My first impression is it has to be something in the connections. There should be one and only one resistor between the "Data" and V+ line for the entire chain. Another thing that Jim has emphasized is that the sensors should be...

Couldn't hurt! I'll try that tonight. My recollection is that the debug .ino was generated before Jim put the debug code into the main .ino but, again, can't hurt.

Correct. I'm using the 3.1. The PRJC page for the EEPROM doesn't mention the 3.1 but I assumed that the 3.1 would act the same in that case. Anyway, I tried the EEPROM Clear on both my brew system and the test setup and no change. Browser still hangs when pushing the "Modify" button...

...on the other hand, it does say this on the PJRC site: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_EEPROM.html Will still give it a try. Thanks!...Jon

That sounds promising. I often have big issues starting up the teensypi after making a hardware tweak. This may be the fix. I'll try it out this evening!

No, I've never done that. Would I use this method: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/EEPROMClear or is there an easier way?
