yes, with the S3, hoping for support of one of the relay boards so I can run 24vdc, ex antenna, and onboard relays for less than $50. (unsure if the rs-485 implementation can be bypassed for SPI Sensors.) https://www.amazon.com/Waveshare-Industrial-6-Channel-Interfaces-Expanding/dp/B0D14SLHGD

Thanks! I don't have node-red running, so will try to get a script only in BC since I do have a SonOff smart plug somewhere that I flashed and BruControl sees.

anyone have any thoughts on ESP32 going dark regularly? I have in on a external USB din-rail power brick powered by 24vdc.

AA-1 IC died due to one of my Johnson proportional valves drawing too much current (30mA+). The other three channels worked, but when I went to use one, I killed the entire chip. Then I killed the IC I borrowed from my spare AA-1, that is when I got out the millamp meter. The LT1639CN is...

Just in case @BrunDog is listening... MAX31888 would be a great addition... General Description The MAX31888 is a 1-Wire high precision, low power digital temperature sensor with ±0.25ºC accuracy from -20ºC to +105ºC for precision temperature monitoring. The MAX31888 operates at 68μA...

I have three of the 3-wire spring return 'solid' valves and been operating since 2019-2020 with no issues.

The other one worked until I messed with it, and the AA-1, and both proportional valves have the same ground terminal on my DIN rail... the AA-1 has power and a good ground and is not outputting voltage.

Anyone have experience overloading or hurting the AA-1? I an using 2 channels of one to signal some Johnson Controls water valves. I am using a meanwell 12V supply input and 0-10V output and they have worked for many years. I have not used my system for about 4 months and when I went to use it...

Any issue with I/O conflicts for the 1-wire or anything else??

It looks like a lot of people having issues with the Giga R1 connecting via usb to a COM port from what i am seeing on the Arduino forum, so I would be wary of being an early adopter.. edit - all good, they shipped some units without the bootloader, and their instructions on how to prep it to...

I got the Giga R1 Wifi boards in, I know there is no BC firmware yet, so just tinkering... of course the usb port doesn't work with standard win10 or Win7 drivers...

grounding... and isolation... the sudden change in current to the start or stop of the motor and/or relay is causing an actual change in voltage on your RTD, and the RTD smoothing algorithm takes a while to return.. research: "flyback diode"

For the tri-clamp valve, you can get gaskets with a smaller opening, but only works if both fittings are same smaller diameter. https://www.glaciertanks.com/tri-clamp-silicone-gaskets-40rxpx-100-fda.html
