    AC powers the board, relays are powered from internal step down. I only have AC line attached to controller, no need for extra suplies.1wire probe is powered from board also , and analog sensor too.

    I have a AC line connected to AC in and same line goes through the relays to power a AC loads , fan, 2 augers and ignitor. They have also nice relay addon boards for this controller in the same factor but BC doesnt work with them (i2c).

    For additional input i just solder a connection to one leg of switch that's IT and works as IT should.Its really nice controller. Iam using one to controll my wood pellet burner for boiling Kettle, i threw away factory controller and put this instead. Iam using a 1wire probe, flame sensor...

    Hi, i finnally managed 1-wire sensors to work stable. IT was noise from the solenoid valves im my fermentors, i had probe wire close to solenoid wire. When i layed the wires far away from each other errors and disconnects stoped. Using a solenoid valves for fermentation tanks was a bad idea...

    Hi, i dont have schematics for my build, i used ones from website. Now i have whole box disconnected and i am trying to rewire all , it looks like spaghettis inside. I will rewire DC grounds as you sugested.Ordered some new terminals for connections also for better look. As a USB connection i...

    I will need 8 sensors, but im testing with 2 of them for the fermentors. First i was using 4,7k resistor, but changed that for 2,2k. Readings are wrong just after start of sensing. I under estimated the size of control box and bought 16in x 16in which is little bit tight so its packed that i...

    Interface is mega board usb connected to windows tablet. Sensors i used before were waterproof i bought from china, i changed them to original dallas chips, didnt help. Power sources are 12 v for mega, 5 v for sensors, 24 v for some sensors, all din mounted. 4 12 v solenoid valves with flyback...

    Hello, is not optoisolated relay board can cause problems to 1 -wire temp sensors? I have been struggling to make the sensors work stable, but they disconnects once in couple minutes showing -127 C, I changed topology from star to linear then stubs and they still disconnect. Change sensors for...

    Thank you Sir, i will look into that. The spreadsheet works calculating a value for every minute , i put temp value for every cell from first minute to last minute of pasteurization. 1-46-PU 2-46-PU 3-47-PU 4-48 PU etc And its toping it up at summary cell for PU of whole process (15,78 PU )...

    Ok, i will try to start from begining, because i overthought it little a bit . Its jut simple math of time/temp.

    Hi, My process is like this: - i put bottles to a mash tun, and open steam valve from steam generator to reach a temperature 62 degrees C inside a bottle -as in .xls attached i note every step temp/time in the spreadsheet -when i get around 20 pasteurization units i open a valve with cold...

    Hi, all. I started to build my setup, as i never had experience in any automation its really slow proces for me. I have question for help with the scripts as its for me rather new thing. Iam planning to automate pasteurization and its really simple setup in hardware but dont know how to script...
