    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I use this one, I'm not using it for volume calculations just as a flow reference: https://www.amazon.com/DIGITEN-Sensor-Switch-Flowmeter-Counter/dp/B00VKATCRQ/ref=sr_1_31?crid=QQX6PC1WEP5I&keywords=Gredia+GR-201+flow+meter&qid=1640727660&sprefix=gredia+gr-201+flow+meter%2Caps%2C279&sr=8-31

    MT drain valve out -> flow meter -> DC recirc pump -> RIM's Tube (vertical) -> MT In (top bulkhead via TC) -> MT inside bulkhead: Loc-Line adjusted just below surface. I don't use any type of filter in the RIM's recirc loop, everything is 1/2" straight through.

    After installing SQL this was the line in settings.brusettings after a restart: <DBConnection i:nil="true" /> I changed that to: Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename={0};Integrated Security=True

    How do I fix this? I installed SQLLocalDB added the DB Connection string to settings.brusettings but that doesn't seem to have resolved it.

    EDIT: I missed the SQL installation so I'm guessing that might be the reason Graph question: Why when I change scale or time interval do I lose my historical data? The graph basically restarts form zero data points.

    T-Block 100-105 5VDC T-Block 1-10 5VDC/12VDC Ground T-Block 20-29 12VDC TF-4 power is T-Block 102 (+) and T-Block 9 (-) T-Block 100 goes to MEGA AREF (purple wire)

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Trying to solve an issue with Thermistors. I use the TF-4 board connected to a 5VDC PS (not MEGA). The MEGA AREF is also connected to the 5VDC PS. I have 5 sensors (MF51E103E3950). After a period of time (weeks), the sensors become so inaccurate that they have to be replaced. I cannot figure out...

    I did not see that, I should know better! It's flawless now and those coefficients are perfect. I have the 103's also, not sure where I got the 503 number from.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    OK, need some troubleshooting help. Upgraded to 0.15 firmware and Build 15 software. I cannot seem to get any of my digital outputs to fire. My pwm output works and my PID output works. Another thing I noticed, I have 4 AUX 120VAC sockets each digitally controlled on seperate ports. I also have...

    @BrunDog When you have an opportunity could you post the coefficients for your NTC probes? I am using the MF51E503F3950's which I believe is what you said you are using. I want to sanity check the numbers I have come up with. Thanks, Mike

    Does the DisplayText attribute work on buttons? I want to change the buttons displayed name when its state changes.

    %3 has never worked for me in the communications window to reset 1-wire, I always end up power cycling.

    What is the latest BruControl software version? I am running 1.1 build 9 and am looking to install the latest firmware (45O).

    Thanks, I'll be open lid since I brew in the garage but cutting one hole will be enough for me so your info is good news. This way I will use the element out of my RIMs so I won't even have to buy another element right away.

    While we're on elements, I have a 20gal Stout boil kettle. I'm looking to convert it to electric (MT and HLT already are). My question is should I go with one or two 5500W elements in the boil kettle. I usually boil about 14-15 gallons to net 11 into my brite tank. Thanks

    Excellent, thanks. They are 120V LEDs (I had them on hand) which is why I went the neutral route. I’ll pick up a couple 240V ones.

    Looking for some troubleshooting assistance. I have assembled my hardware and have spent the day doing all my initial testing. Everything is working perfectly except.....my RIMs and HLT LED indicators are on constantly. I have attached my schematic. Basically I turn on the power switch. Then I...
