More of a future proof approach.. Id rather have the Arduino controlling one item (Relay Board) directly than having it controlling SSR's, Relay Board, and what every I decide in the future. To me anyway, it makes this simpler. Also wasnt entirely sure of how much the Mega can output...

Well I spent all weekend plowing through this build with great results.. Im DONE!.. Sunday evening I did my first water test "Batch"... I had a two tiny leaks due to forgetting teflon tape on a couple valves and had a small oversight to the software (forgot to add in manual overrides to...

As far as the Software goes it's future is unclear. There is a lot I'd still have to do to make it configurable to other peoples Arduino/OneWire Probe setups. Beyond that there are a lot of things I'd like to build into it. For instance, the ability to allow people to use the software to...

To answer your previous post regarding the 1/4 jacks shorting. I use a fairly heavy duty cable for my temp probe, probably over kill for a 5v signal, there is a 4.7kOhm resistor across the 5V and Data for the OneWire Probes. As far as durability for the jacks, I've made my own guitar patch...

At this point, i'm honestly not sure. This entire build was primarily just a "I like to brew" and proof of concept. As for the software I still have a ways to go with where I'd like to take it, but i'm only doing this in my spare time so its very unknown at this point.

Hey Everyone, I'm new to this forum have read some threads on here but have never posted anything. I decided awhile back to try and make a brewing setup and after visiting theelectricbrewery.com I loved the idea of an electric brewery. I like how Kal made his, but I thought it could be...
