I've put together a FAQ about bug reporting in SBE. Let me know if I've missed anything! http://onbrewing.com/strangebrew-elsinore-faq-so-youve-found-a-bug/ I'm also starting to post things on the /r/StrangeBrew page... This thread has gotten pretty difficult to follow, I don't think 100 pages...

When in the directory that SB is installed to, type git checkout [commit] where [commit] is a unique identifier that github produces for each commit, e.g. the last commit on April 6th is identified by 707f85a1d7e8e4b1b04c97b7abc2f35bd7f6f1ae If you want to return to the current version...

With latest commits... I edit the the appropriate probe, removing what was specified as the dummy heating GPIO. When I go to save the changes, I received this notification on the /controller page. "Bad inputs when updating. Please check the system log" The log is empty. I had to shut...

This worked for me too, thanks!

Did you say all of your outputs are inverted? There's an inverted argument you can pass to launch.sh, does that work for you?

I have also been having difficulties getting cooling to work (on BBB), and I am not sharing/switching GPIOs, so I don't believe that is the cause. I am currently managing it by setting the fridge to an inverted heater gpio in hysteria, which works well enough so it's not really a problem for me...

Right on, report back after. As I mentioned you'll need a DC/DC SSR. Still cheap, but slightly different from the SSR you'd use for your elements.

Software PWM can be pretty computationally intensive. I don't know realistically how short you can set the the duty cycle, but manual mode in SB elsinore is essentially PWM, and I think when utilized with a DC motor such as these pumps you will get the expected outcome as long as the duty cycle...

I don't really have the time right now. There are youtube videos on wiring up the relay module. Use of the DPDT relay is quite basic, you could read theelectricbrewery for a better understanding of that. Wiring for solid state relays and temperature probes is included in Doug's documentation for...

The idea is that, you don't want 240v at 30a or 40a running through a switch you're going to activate, that would be a bit dangerous. To circumvent this, you control the main power with a relay, which is essentially a remote switch. To control this remote switch, we use a lower voltage and MUCH...

Here's a link to the sketchup file. Would love to see if anybody had any improvements to it. The patch panel is not really to scale currently (should be 10" wide), and the DPDT relay is a bit larger than what would be used in something like this, but I didn't care enough to make my own accurate...

I have a couple new SB elsinore blog posts. One is a parts list for a full featured control panel, that shouldn't cost you more than $300 (even then, I didn't look very hard to find best prices...) It includes a quick rendering and the estimated control panel size. Let me know if you're...

I was also having some trouble with the service scripts working after the last commits. I found if I went back to anything before "438bc6f326e205c0d0fd6f8bfd28852f71aa3285" it worked. I've had about 2-3 weeks up time now controlling my keg fridge temp with SB elsinore as a service. I haven't...

I use a panel similar to those used with the electric brewery type builds. I got mine for free though. For a fully fleshed out build I would suggest a large relay for master power, two 30A SSRs for elements (boil kettle/mash regulation), and probably a 4 or 8 channel relay (10A) module for...

Make sure you are running the latest version of SB elsinore, and that the recorder is enabled. You can enable the recorder in edit mode.

Are you running the most recent version of SB Elsinore?

I believe if you are adding probes to an existing configuration you will need to be in "edit" view and then name/unhide the sensors for them to appear.

If you already had an EB controlled brewery I don't think it would take much to play around with having it controlled by a SB elsinore controlled one (e.g. bypassing the hardware PIDs and purchasing a BBB or RP)... The only thing is that that EB systems utilize RTDs, typically PT100s, and SB...

I think tempList contains the 5 previous measurements from a single probe, which is then averaged for use for the PID calculation. If you know what you're doing I'm sure it wouldn't be terribly difficult for you to code something that'd allow probe-averaging. The easiest way to do this may be...

You can put multiple probes on a vessel sure... especially since they are so cheap... but PIDs with SB elsinore are set up to each work with a single probe.
