Downloaded and poked around. Microsoft doesn't think there's a compatible driver in there. I think I'm gonna open the box up and see what's inside. Seeing how this is unfolding, I might just take the guts out of the two boxes and put them in a proper cabinet.
Here's the thing. I thought I connected via serial, but I'm ignorant enough at this point that I'm not sure I did. For instance, I didn't realize until you pointed it out that I needed to set up the Arduino to connect to my home wi-fi through the interface setup and not in BC. Once I realized I...
Dug around in my old cable stash and couldn't find another cable unfortunately. I've tried rebooting. I manually pointed to the folder with the drivers. I tried manually pointing to the specific driver, but I wasn't sure which one to pick, so I just found one labeled something like USB driver...
No dice. Even uninstalled the device and reinstalled it.
Still getting the error "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) A request for the USB device descriptor failed."
Tried it on my wife's computer and got the same error.
Searched around on the...
Progress! Got the Firmware tool up and running. Unfortunately my computer is not recognizing the device (it's not listed in Device Manager) and it isn't showing up in the Firmware tool.
However, it does look like when I plug in the Arduino it shows up in some semblance under Universal Serial...
Just got my controller in the mail (built by others) and the software downloaded and installed. Now time for some ultra super duper newb questions so that other folks won't feel embarrassed to ask their most simple questions.
First one. I'm getting confused with what's going on when trying to...
Let us know how it turns out. I've got the ingredients added to my cart, again, but with the exception of tetrasodium EDTA instead of the disodium. If you have positive results, I'll still be at $100 for 36 lb, $2.78/lb, with some leftover EDTA.
I've thought about that, but the thing is the metasilicate was stored in a bag that was simply folded over and taped shut. I had been storing it in my garage until I mixed it, at which point I brought it into my temp controlled pantry. I would have thought it would have been completely exposed...
Spent a great deal of time wearing out my thumbs typing a response to your post above. Unfortunately the app crashed, so here goes round two.
Unfortunately, yes, it is too late. I've already purchased all the ingredients and mixed them.
But a curious thing happened when I mixed them all. I...
You're correct, it doesn't. But that isn't the intent. What a partially-on lid does do is allow you to greatly reduced your boil off by reducing the amount of heat input needed to maintain a boil. We're shooting for 6-8% boil off rates of the starting volume. This reduces thermal stress on the...
@BrunDog , quick q on the nice TC level sensors available on your site. What would happen if one we're to exceed the stated level limitation by 8 inches or so? Nuclear meltdown, or simply a loss in resolution?
Actually, a large percentage of those who practice low DO brewing methods recirculate during the mash. It's actually recommended so that rests at several temperatures can be achieved for maximum conversion.
The thing that isn't necessarily recommended is single vessel brewing. It's very...
Thumbed through the blog post. Nice looking panel. I also had a couple of comments.
My understanding is that the EZBoil is not based on PID, but instead uses a different logic developed by Auber. You might consider updating the documentation to reflect this.
Also, I'd recommend revisiting this...
