Got the high voltage panel done! Ready for testing everything out.

Air gun is only for heat shrink, not soldering. It works well for how cheap it was. Also talking about precision, the hakko solder stations are about as good as you can get. Much better than metcals in my opinion. I like the fact that both soldering iron and heat gun go into standby mode when...

Getting ready for a weekend of soldering connectors.

I was going to use them for some of the connections. While wiring the other night one of them broke off leaving the ferrule stuck in the mega breakout board. I had a hell of a time getting it out and ended up destroying one of the screw terminal sections in the process. Luckily I was able to...

This one is ready to be mounted in its enclosure

It's raining/hailing in San Diego, so it's a great time to work on wiring.

I am curious if the piezo element will reliably/accurately measure boil intensity.

Painting going down today. First coat on.

So instead of making a schematic/wiring diagram I took a different approach. Each panel has over 90 different components in them. The resulting schematics would be split across too many pages to make it easily digestible. Instead I created a spreadsheet that contains the "netlist" for each...

With 2 large enclosures the amount of spray paint cans needed for a couple decent coats becomes rather obnoxious and is getting into the price range of a quart of car paint. I bought this paint gun almost 20 years ago when I built a dune buggy. I figured I should use it at least once every 20...

Ball valves and the 3 camlock to hosebarb fittings are gone. Everything else is still available

After watching the unicon build videos I decided to buy a riveter. Quite happy with rivets over nuts and bolts. You might find a couple more things I picked up from those videos.

Making some progress on the control panels build.

BruControl: Adding unsupported devices

Looks great

6 taps + lagering storage combined with laziness/efficiency. I try to always clean/sanitize/water purge at least 8 kegs at a time. I also have a tap for seltzer water. That's 2 kegs for that one tap to always have a backup ready...

I posted it for others to use, modify, ridicule my coding standards, etc. So pass it along. It does require the end user to be knowledgeable with writing code for arduino, so it's not for all but can definitely open doors for adding other devices that otherwise wouldn't be supported. BTW, the...

10 feet is the minimum of vinyl tubing. Eva barrier and other newer tubing have shorter minimum length. So there isn't just one answer.
