PJ,
First, let me say thanks for all you have contributed here! Your time and effort is very appreciated. It is truly amazing how much work you have put into helping others. I have learned so much just from this thread. Maybe you could put up a paypal link so those of us who have enjoyed your work could at least buy you a beer .
I am getting ready to start building my first electric brewery and have been studying controllers including The Electric Brewery and ebrewsupply. I have found that I like features from both of them. I also like many of your designs. The one of your's that comes closest to what I'd like to build is this one...
If you saw fit to help one more rookie my wish list would include these changes...
1) To use two of the SYL-2352 PID's for HLT and BK control.
2) Add the Auber JSL-73A brewing timer (I like the ability to pre-program all the timers I need before starting the brew).
3) I would also like to incorporate the ability to run the PID and timer alarms through on/off switches to a central buzzer/LED with reset button like Kal uses in his controller here.. http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/control-panel-part-2?page=12.
I had one other question about how you set up the resistors in the e-stop... should you use a small circuit board to mount them with jumpers or is there some easier method?
Feel free to make any suggestions or comments that come to mind and even if you decide not to take this on..... THANKS FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE!
