Hey Folks,
I thought I'd share this with everyone as I think it would be useful to others out there that like to tinker. I had posted a long time ago about my eBIAB setup here:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/windows-wpf-and-arduino-20-gallon-ebiab-build.644565/
I have gone a few steps further and upgraded the system. It now runs with a custom Arduino controller that is controlled using a Windows 10 phone via Bluetooth. I can measure my temperature and control a solid state relay ... FROM MY COUCH!
I have documented it in detail here:
https://www.instructables.com/id/BrewLOGIC-Bluetooth-Enabled-Arduino-Brewing-Contro/
Some of the highlights are below. I'd love to hear from you guys what you think. Some of the functionality I had in my previous post was updated and incorporated in the App.
I used a recycled powerbank to house the brain of my system. It is controlled via bluetooth and a custom built UWP Windows 10 App that I run on an old Lumia 635 Phone
Here are some of the guts inside the controller:
I use a relay to control a fan and a 12V solar beige pump. The fan is to cool the solid state relay
I recycled the usb connector of the power bank and am reading temperatures from multiple DS18B20 sensors
I custom soldered a perfboard for all the components:
