    Glad you like it, Mats! It's the least I can do for the tremendous amount of value you've unleashed for us with the STC-1000+! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Kansas Temp Controller, Flashed w/ STC-1000+, Fahrenheit Display

    Yes I can! Sorry to hear this, Suric, but no worries; I built this first batch of these controllers with an 8A fuse, only to find that many fridges need a 10A fuse (all later batches were built with the 10A fuse). Please PM me your address and I'll send you the updated fuse. Sorry for the...

    That's awesome, looking forward to testing it out!

    I've flashed the mashing firmware and poked through the menus, still waiting for my RIMS tube to arrive from Brewers Hardware to give it a proper try. Quick question, though: how does the constant output mode work and what am I adjusting with it? A pulse width? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    My $.02: get rid of "soft off" and free up the code space. The feature creates more confusion than value. If I don't want the unit to run I can unplug it or build in a switch to disconnect power. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Neither has a header soldered in, as I use the "solderless" method of flashing. However, if you order one and want a header installed, just shoot me a note and I'll solder one in before I ship to you.

    Thanks Mats! I've gotta say, I was pretty relieved when I opened up the box today and had finally gotten the right version! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    To update you can pretty much just follow the same process you did to flash originally. You're right that you can send "g" instead of "f" if you like, but it doesn't hurt to do the full flash all over again, either. And yeah, 1.05 is the latest "production" version.

    Just put the Flashed and "Flashable" controllers in stock, fire when ready. I also have the v1.1 (wrong version) controllers posted for $12 (less than I paid for them, sadly) and will ship them for free if you're buying something else. If you've got a keezer project or something and are able to...

    First come, first serve. I have plenty now and can get more pretty easily, so should be able to get one for everybody that's looking for one. I'll put them up right now if you guys are ok waiting for a day or two for me to get around to shipping them. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Some good news to report: I just received 250 pcs of the correct controller version! I'll drop them on my website for sale as soon as I have some time to box/ship them. I'll ask $20/pc for them, which is at a small markup, but seems fair. I'll also offer them flashed for $30 for folks that want...

    That it will, and it will also stabilize the reading. Try it, you'll like it. :mug:

    Yes, agreed, I had this same problem myself; even a 40W bulb in a paint can was more heat than was needed this past spring. A switch to a 25W bulb did the trick; I suspect that we'll get a lot of questions about this in a few months as Fall approaches. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Flashing to 1.05 isn't going to change this, as overshooting is very likely a result of your setup rather than an issue with the controller. STC-1000+ is not a PID controller, so some overshoot is inherent, but you can reduce it by securing your temp probe to one of the kegs, or by dropping the...

    Yes, I've been running 1.05 on my setup since it was released, no issues!
