It's difficult to make out the wiring from your photo but here's the encoder portion from the BrewPi RevC shield schematic. Hope it helps

I went down the same path as you. Eventually I gave up and pulled the I2C and built a shift register circuit [Look Here]

Just finishing up my BrewPi build and was stumped as well. I Haven't tried it out yet but here's what I came up with - Parts List: 1-1/4 in. OD – (1 in. ID) PVC Tubing -- $2.41/foot (LINK) Only need a couple of inches 7/8 in. OD - (5/8 in. ID) PVC Tubing -- $8.26 for 10...

Here's my control panel incarnation that I'm in the process of building which uses a PID (with relay outputs) to control an SSVR.

Here's the schematic that I've used.

I've corrected a wiring error and have edited my original post so have another look HERE

That's the beauty of it. It's already built-in

Here's a drawing of the circuit that I built on a Radio Shack Prototype Shield (plugs right on top of an Uno). It's based on the BrewPi Rev C shield schematic and uses a 20x4 LCD, a 74HC595 Shift Register and a couple of 10K pull-up resistors. As Homer Simpson would say Doh! :drunk: Here's...

Keith, I'm actually using a SYL-2342 PID which has both N.O. and N.C. relay outputs (not DC). The PID's relay basically 'attaches' the potentiometer to the SSVR as needed. When the PID relay is open the potentiometer is 'disconnected' from the SSVR which causes it to turn off. I've been...

Thanks for the guidance everyone. It's going into a starter tonight!

There's no apparent swelling of the mason jar lid and it's been stored at 45 degrees the entire time. There is some stratification that's visible in the attached photo and I'm not sure if the yeast needs to be washed before I pitch it into a 1.040 starter.

May 2013 ;)

Last May I tried my hand at harvesting yeast from a six-pack of Bell's Amber Ale. I build the yeast colony up twice with low gravity wort and the culture has been stored in my keggerator since that time. Yadda yadda yadda... I'm just now(!) getting around to brewing a batch of Two Hearted...

This is my water after being treated by my water softener/iron filter. Am I screwed? pH 7.8 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 1662 Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 2.77 Cations / Anions, me/L 24.6 / 24.1 Sodium, Na 562 ppm Potassium, K 2 ppm Calcium, Ca 2 ppm Magnesium, Mg < 1...

Huff360 you make a great point. So I Looked more closely at the SYL-2342 Manual and see that it shows - terminal 6 is the N.C. side of the relay terminal 7 is the output of the relay terminal 8 is the N.O. side of the relay That being the case, I've tweaked the drawing to include a...

Huff360 and alien thanks for your input. My SSVR arrived last night so I decided to conduct an actual test. I pieced together the circuit in the attached diagram and plugged an electric lamp into the outlet. I'm happy to say that it works exactly as I'd hoped. :ban: Opening the "PID Relay"...

First off, I hope I don't offend anyone by my attempt at modifing one of P-J's (most excellent) drawings to allow the use of an SSVR. I like the idea of using a knob to control the boil vs. a PID's manual-mode much like HighGravity's EBC SV with Infinite Power Control. I think I'd need to...

I like the idea of using a knob to control the boil vs. a PID's manual-mode much like HighGravity's EBC SV with Infinite Power Control. I'm looking for guidance on using a SSVR in P-J's "Single Element BIAB 30A PID" circuit? I think I'd need to use a PID with Relay output (2342?) and I'd...

I've admired P-J's work for some time now and I'd like to make the eBIAB plunge albeit with a slight twist. I'd like to use a Auber PID (SSR or Relay output?) to control a "Solid State Variable Relay" (SSVR) like the one from this post...
