    The Long Brew Script... This is honestly pretty simple I replicated the brew process from The Electric Brewery PART 1 // BrewBros script // v1.0 9/16/2019 // Matias G. [device setup] // setup elements with base values, disable loops, reset buttons and timers. "System Status"...

    muh's BruControl Build

    So, I started a PLC build way back when ('11-'12). The project fizzled out due to money, kids, life, etc... In the mean time, I worked several automated builds surrounding Raspberry Pi, Python, and QT5. reef-pi and a homebrew saltwater mixing station for Aquarium use (or RODI brew water). I...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    This would be nice, but after about an hour in the interface, you should be able to catch it on your own. Or my own lol.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I am dumb. The error is coming from the line after. I was trying to calculate a "Remaining Time" and display it as a string. Did not work. Seems like my major issues are all cleared up. I was able to simulate a brew-day step by step!!! I was also able to use a WAV for a custom alarm sound...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    It seems I have Step Time as a Timer Element. I may have gone about this the wrong way, I just want to pass a user defined Time SP per step, to a generic Timer. I guess I could just go with a new timer for every step, and selectively hide them based on the active step. My thought was that by...

    Background: I am a ladder logic guy that dabbles in some python... Dabbles as in simple QT based GPIO stuff. Just want to say I love the software, interface, and ease of part procurement... Wow I wish I paid more attention to this my first go around with my eHerms setup! Couple of Questions...

    PLC - Touchscreen Control Panel (TEB Based)

    The things you have done with it convinced me. I have been watching tons of your videos and threads. The recipe import is what sold me, though I havent figured it out. From what I understand it is going to be native in future releases?

    PLC - Touchscreen Control Panel (TEB Based)

    Looks like I am going a different route with this. I am keeping the main panel intact but I am scrapping the PLC controls for now. Too easy to find parts for PI\Arduino Control. Brucontrol is looking pretty nice. I will start a new thread and update here with a link.

    PLC - Touchscreen Control Panel (TEB Based)

    Heh. I deserve it. Honored that you replied! TEB was the inspiration for my foray into Electric Brewing. I feel like I have come full circle, because now I want to go back to the TEB approach. Even though I have a MicroLogix 1500 full programmed and ready to go... Time to make a decision and...

    PLC - Touchscreen Control Panel (TEB Based)

    Maybe I should finish this? I had a few kids and lost track. Is PLC the best option still? Any server based PI controllers?

    Spa Panel Wiring, help with ground

    Ground comes from the ground... literally. You can purchase a ground rod and drive it in yourself. If you want to DIY you may need to read up on code. If not call an electrician!

    Which PID setting do I need to change?

    generally your I controls the overshoot. What are your settings now? Does your model have autotune?

    240v Heating Element or Elements in HLT

    Sort of correct. If you are stepping down the wire size, each element will be in parallel with the source and its own, separate, protection.
