I assume the SSR input range is the same as the old one and accommodates 12 Vdc. Use caution working around live wires below! What happens if you disconnect terminal 6 and 7 from the dsp320 (with power off then repower to measure) , turn on the element switch and check the output of the ssr ...

Any chance the usb cable is power only? Try a usb that works with another board (data and power lines work).

Nice heat sinks on top, but I don't see them wicking away much heat the way they are attached. That is a composite enclosure, not metal? A good place to start on this project is to hook up the usb to a computer and have a look at the program that is on the mega board. There might be some awsome...

I had a similar experience. with 2 pumps in the tank, I stopped filling before 7 gallons because it was getting up to the return line holes and would spill if I put any more in. Then remembering to look at the sight glass, it was at 7.5 gal. I suspect the sight glass was calibrated before...

This sounds like the best temporary setup. That old laundry drain looks like a better permanent option too. I was talking to a plumber yesterday about other things and ejector pumps came up. He commented about how they are very bad for septics due to the suspended particles passed to the septic...

Based on your longer term plan, I would say put in a proper tank and ejector pump. The location of this may be farther from your sink than first impressions. Look at the potential location of the bath and how that would be plumbed in as well. Those joints are difficult , if not impossible to...

Take a look at the installation instructions of the automatic drain pump you plan to use. I just randomly picked a drain pump and looked at the install directions. It specifically says not to use "one-way quick-vents or air admittance valves " so you will need to tie a vent into the unit...

Blueberry wheat was my last.

I have only done enough plumbing to be dangerous (plumbed new kitchen addition, moved septic tank, installed new septic and well supply connections at the farm) but research rules and codes when I did and had most all work inspected. That looks like 2" dwv and I don't see enough room in the...

I'm in too. Thanks Inkbird!

Win a inkbird wireless meat thermometer? Oh yea!

You only want 1 or 2 psi which would be tough to see on a gauge, so just turn the gas on and of during the transfer based on the flow you see in the liquid tubing. it helps to have the anvil above the keg, but I have done it with them sitting side by side. Patience is key because with the low...

It is a mini regulator for use with co2 cartridges (so it is considered primary), but I am using it with 24oz paintball tanks which give me a small portable system.

Yea, Something internal failed because the needle barely wiggles when pressure is introduced to it now. I am looking for a 0-30 psi gauge, but the threads appear to be 3/8 which is larger than the standard 1/8 that I see in many searches. May need to settle for a larger size dial and a bushing...

I removed the gauge then scored around the sealant (seemed to be a silicone or plastic, I was expecting epoxy) and with a wrench on the body, broke the cover loose. The needle did not easily lift over the post without some force, so I do not know how it got to the wrong side. I don't think the...
