yes, all joints are soldered seperately and insulated

bumping old thread for worthy cause, wiring up my lm34's is producing varying results. taping together all 3 leads results in a voltage varying enough to fluctuate Farenheit temps about 10-15 degrees. when I have all 3 leads loose, temps are spot on. leads length doesn't seem to be a...

Yuri, How are you interfacing your arduino with pc for display? I am not finding much on the web. there is of course a ton of material on microcontrollers- I just would like to know how you use yours with a pc Also, if I am understanding what your plan is for level measurement correctly...

I'm using 2 2000 watt 120V elements (camco high density) will I still need an inline GFI? I don't have much of a budget and haven't ordered one yet.

Yes, though as a college student my funds for ingredients are limited. We received a few hundred dollars in lab fees for this project and I've quickly used most of that trying to acquire all the components. I definitely plan on continuing brewing beyond this project. you're exactly right...

I had searched the forums extensively previous to posting this thread. I couldn't find anyone using heating elements for boiling. It seems that every time I look through the forums I come across different material previously missed. you're right though, I didn't really post any specific...

after a bit of searching, I came across this website: Cedar Creek Brewing Company - Homebrewing Electric Heatstick I am now waiting for parts to arrive and will be trying a few variations. Also ordered a USB Arduino microcontroller and will be attempting to interface the heating...

Hey everyone, Im looking into using a 5500 watt heating element intended for use in water heaters to boil 5 gallon batches. The reason for looking at heating elements, is that this is part of a process automation and instrumentation class project and I want to be able to do a closed loop...

Hey all! I'm a second year student at Alexandria Technical College in central Mn studying fluid power technology and applied mechatronics. The program has a strong focus on automated motion control and plc programming. For a project in out Instrumentation class, I've chosen to pursue...
