It may be easier to manage the heat dissipated off two separate SSR's. Which would be cheaper? My guess is 2 singles.

Have they got back with you on that? I was getting ready to send my filtered water off to see where I was at. I could wait a bit if they were going to offer a brewery option.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but now they have a specific form and set of directions for home brewers. At http://www.wardlab.com/ under About Us then General Information, they have a link to a pdf: http://www.wardlab.com/samplingsheets/wsis.pdf where it states I assume...

Ok, so the first one is of the main screen and the second one is of a page to set rules for one of the outputs. and number 2 There. Just couldn't get them to be very readable smaller.

I believe I have added a sensor without powering the board down and up, but I'm not running in parasite mode. I'm am familiar with the 85C reading. Several of the sensors I got exhibited this. However, I found that I was getting a higher voltage on the board from the power terminal...

Yes, thats pretty much it. Are you planning on using solid state relays with the board output to control something (like a freezer)?

I bought some stereo plugs already (not many so NBD) and it seemed like they'd be cool when I thought of it. I'll probably go with RJ-11 plugs to avoid problems though.

It operates on its own... It has an internal web server for you to access to monitor or modify settings. Once you have it setup (to do what you want) you don't even have to have it hooked to a network. If you don't like the way the built in web gui handles things, you can set the outputs...

I really need to sit down and test this out, but I've been short on time (or motivation). I see what your saying, but here is how I think it could go down: The ground on the jack would be shorting pin2 with the ground on the plug. The next conductor on the jack would simultaneously be...

Ya, I might have to pick one of the 50' extension cables up just so I can see if it still works over 80' (when I add my current 30' cord). I'm going to do some playing with the stereo plugs in a few days and see which pins get shorted/crossed during plugging. I'm hoping that it doesn't...

I haven't tried parasite mode, but I was under the impression it would work. It just seemed easier to run an extra conductor. The telephone wire I'm using has 4 anyways. I guess I should look into it, bc mono plugs are even cheaper than stereo plugs. I thought there was a downfall to...

Ya, I looked at that. Then I wouldn't have to worry about this shorting at all, but it looks like they are pricey compared to these mini stereo jacks.

The sensors only require one wire (data) to go back to the board. I believe I could still use stereo jacks to power the sensors as well, but use a separate power source so as not to harm the board by shorting it. Then make sure the sensor data line only gets crossed to ground on the plugs when...

Yes. They can all be common. Each sensor has its own ROM code and the board identifies what signal comes from which sensor by that. I'm planning on having multiple sensor leads. But the corresponding conductors on the jacks will be all tied to the same terminal on the board (I'll probably...

Yes, QBrew works in Linux. I don't use windblows either. I think I originally found it in Synaptic. Beer XML... yes.

Thanks for that. Either thats new or I somehow missed it when I was looking before. I've been running this board for quite a while inside of a zip lock container. I really need to move on to the next stage of mounting this up in a box before I break something. I was originally going to use...

Yes, here is one on ebay. I haven't seen a manufacturers page on it. WebControl

I purchased a board that allows me to read 8 digital temperature sensors and output 8 logic signals that will run solid state relays. The board has an ethernet port and is programmed and controlled via a web page. It can turn on and off the logic outputs based on timers, temp sensors, humidity...

Ya, it would be nice if it could interface with a brewing software or at least have a way of developing recipes via a computer. It would probably be easier to do with Qbrew though since its open source. It could be difficult though. If we wanted to work on something as a group, we could set...
