I interface my probes with ethernet cables. Will an ethernet switch work in extending the number of probes I can connect?

Checked out the beta version today, looking very sharp!

Looking good. Is the idea that the user will receive notifications for each hop addition? Perhaps a boil timer that starts when boiling temp detected?

There are several autotuning methods available. How difficult do you think it would be to add this sort of utility? Seems like there is a huge demand for it. Obviously you wouldn't want to autotune when mashing, but to do it once to get a ball park to how quickly your system registers...

You can if you'd like, though I'm not 100% sure this simplification is correct. Does it sound right to you? Having a hard time finding a reference for it. I must've seen it somewhere... I'll keep looking.

PID settings are universal as long as you are speaking in the same units (e.g. Fahrenheit and seconds). So, you can just as easily compare PID settings with individuals who use more common set ups on the forum; you are not restricted to comparing to other Strangebrew Elsinore users. The...

I use risers and mount my BBB directly to my control panel backplate. I'm guessing you could do something very similar for your pi. Some sort of soldered prototyping board is your best bet. Maybe something like this if you need a lot of space. http://www.adafruit.com/products/1135

You would use it to control a single heating element, and a recirculation pump I am guessing. Would be a very simple set up. Brew days consist of turning pumps on and off to transfer/recirculate liquids, setting a temperature for your mash, and also setting a duty cycle for your boil. Not...

Doug built an update button right in the interface for this. Alternatively, when you are in the strangebrew elsinore folder, you can run 'git pull'.

These are very cool. The pump triggers will be perfect for my keg cleaning procedures.

Has the set up changed since I last checked out the software (I've been working on other aspects of my brewery the last couple weeks)? This errors now e.g. root@beaglebone:~/strangebrew# java -jar Elsinore.jar —port 8088 -Dgpio_definitions=extras/beaglebone.json Nov 15, 2014 7:25:49 PM...

I meant independently - i.e. a single temp probe that links to one SSR for cooling and one for heating in hysteria and displays as a single device in the UI. A simpler implementation would be the ability to set up two PIDs from the same temp sensor. And of course, the current ability to have two...

Interesting... I haven't wired any extra ports for temp sensors (probably my largest oversight in my panel build), so I can only have three plugged in now. I think this would give me motivation roll up my sleeves and change that however. It's not possible for me to fit in any extra relays...

Exciting developments. I'm just planning a fermentation chamber and keezer in my garage which will required a lot of help in terms of temperature regulation... I never thought I'd say this, but something on HBT is actually going to save me from purchasing additional equipment here! I'll use my...

I was feeling cheap, and only bought the one spool of 10G wire. The wire for the lower amperage circuits was scavenged from leftover 14/2 ::)

Yes, those will be shortened for both aesthetics and function

Sorry can you be more specific with your question? Here's a a whole bunch more pictures of my build... I'll do another post of internal stuff if that is what you were interested in.

Sorry don't have any more details about the box. it was an old one I found in my garage, cleaned up, and painted. It'd be very similar to what is detailed here http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/control-panel-part-1?page=3

Completed my control panel based on using SB Elsinore - thread here.

I just finished my control panel which uses Strangebrew Elsinore Server to control temperatures and pumps. My control panel is very simple in appearance - only two external switches, since most of the control is done via web interface. These two switches control 3 relays for master power, and...
