I don't think there is. But the two dots on the far left is heating/cooling as expected. The third dot is lit when a profile is running if I remember correctly. The upper dot between the two large 8's is lit when viewing temp probe 2 (if two probe firmware). The dot next to the C (and the C if...

There's a short entry on the STC-1000+ WIKI about modifying the STC to use SSR's instead of the relays.

@augiedoggy: Sure, and for higher amps getting a better SSR makes sense. The Mager or Pqlyt ones seem promising or just shell out for a brand one from a trusted vendor. Where I'm at, we have 230VAC and most outlets are 10A, so we are not all that limited. Still, the post by @Cardog also show...

Not that I know of, but feel free to expand on the documentation :) The 'pumpsignal' from the STC is high impedance when pump should be active (high impedance is tech talk that means that it acts like being electrically disconnected) and grounded when pump should be off. The reason for this is...

@mappler: That would probably work (I don't know the addresses by heart, but I assume you are correct). It just seems a bit 'much', you probably could interface the RPi GPIO directly to the STC (using 3.3v zeners or similar for level shifting), porting the protocol from the com.ino sketch to a...

Ah, yeah.. Sorry. ICSPCLK. Tired... :)

You can use the same arduino setup used to flash the STC, just add a pulldown resistor of ~10k to ICSPDAT (that is hook it up between ICSPDAT and GND) and a ~1k resistor in series with ICSPDAT. Easiest would be to modify the cable used between the Arduino and STC. It can still be used to flash...

Hmm. Yes, I could swear it was available when I posted, but I could be wrong. I couldn't find another STC-1000 listing in their store either. Maybe you should contact aliexpress and hear if it is temporarily sold out (has happened before) or what. And bonus points for using Linux!

Checked the link from github. Works fine for me.

@FuzzeWuzze: That might no be a bad idea :) I found this UL announcement; http://ul.com/newsroom/publicnotices/ul-warns-of-solid-state-relay-with-counterfeit-ul-recognition-mark-release-13pn-52/ The thing to look out for should be that the notching in the lower right corner of the sticker, has...

While I appreciate that we seem to have reached the end of this discussion, I just re-read the thread, to see exactly what was said. And I find that MrShake, has deleted most all of his posts. Now, I'm really not looking to start anything again, so I won't state my opinion on doing so...

You are right. The same thing happened with the A400_P STC's. And let me tell you, if it was me personally that had located the manufacturer, I would have shared. I asked Will to to please make it known and he finally did. And now you can choose to DIY an STC-1000+. with no (well, little at...

I also appreciate the work you put in, in finding a seller that does seem to have a better product. No wait, I don't, since you won't share. You are well within your right to do so, it is just not very nice. 5500W at 240V is ~23A or about half the rated current. That is pretty much in line with...

@MrShake : Ok, I'll try to explain as clearly as I can. The thing is, you bashed the knockoffs, saying you should buy from a trusted source, that you have a good source, you will re-sell them and your source is ali. I don't have a problem with you selling SSR's at markup. I'm sure that will be...

Yeah... Sorry, but that is just BS. The fotek's are cheap, because you buy them without middle men directly from china with very cheap shipping. Can I buy them from brewtroller (you) for $5 including shipping to sweden? Refusing to share your source, just 1) renders your argument invalid, as we...

So, are you gonna let us in on your source? Otherwise, I think your point is moot. Enough current to kill you is a couple of dozen milliamps when it comes to mains. So, the powerdraw is pretty much irrelevant. Can you elaborate on why that is a bad idea? If the overall design is pretty sound...

@auggiedoggy : Yeah, that is exactly what I'm saying. I agree that it is bad that they are mislabled, but that is just the way it works unfortunately. I wasn't trying to knock eBay. I purchase there almost daily myself also. Mostly cheap electronics fron china. And I agree, you just have to know...

Sure. But even if going with genuine SSR, I'd go for a 40A one, if I was planning on putting 22 amps through it. You just can't trust the specs on eBay from chinese retailers. That goes for pretty much anything on there. So, yeah if you need your stuff to be up to snuff, don't go trawling on...

OK, I stand corrected :) Anyway, I don't think there is a real problem using checksum instead of CRC. But, on the other hand, I'm not against making improvements. A release is probably some time away. Once the optimization stuff and a new dual probe implementation is 'semi stable', I will...
