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

    Hi John, it'd probably be easier to just pickup an Arduino Uno (available for < $25) and flash the controllers you have. I put a video up on the website ('DIY' page) showing how to do it. As far as the labeling, there's been a lot of discussion around this on the STC-1000+ thread, but we...

    Haha, yes sir! :) Ordered parts for another batch this morning, will try to get around to building them up ASAP! I did add a link to the website for folks to log their email address if interested in getting one from the next batch; I'll email that list as soon as I have more ready. Thanks...

    Yes, the controller is dual stage (operates both heating & cooling simultaneously). You don't want to put the sensor directly into your wort (on any temp controller, not just this one). You need to use a thermowell if you want to immerse the sensor, but I find that simply taping the sensor to...

    I will if you'll cover the shipping, PM me your address and I'll let you know what that'd be. Thanks.

    Yes, I think we've reached that point. I pm'd TxBrew about it.

    Thanks Jaydog! The probe is just slightly smaller than 1/4". I put mine in a thermowell that is 1/4" ID and it fits with very little clearance. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Thanks guys! FYI, hope you saw the notice I posted on the website but I'm out of town until Friday so can't ship until then. The orders that came in last night were shipped this morning, but the orders that came in this morning won't get out until Friday. Sorry for the inconvenience; if that's...

    Glad you like it, Mats! I updated the link above adding a short section at 4:34 on connecting the STC to the Uno (accidentally left this piece out of the prior upload).

    Stc-1000+

    Glad you find the vids helpful! I spent some time this morning making a 3rd video that covers how to flash the controller. As with the last 2, let me know if you spot any errors! And yes, you can absolutely link these on the project page, no credit needed! http://youtu.be/-DdTweLYyN0

    Another Grain Crush Check.....

    Looks good to me! Like you said, husks are intact and the grain appears to be consistently crushed, don't see any whole kernels. I think you've got it dialed in!

    Stc-1000+

    I made 2 quick videos on using/programming the STC-1000+ and posted them to YouTube. The first one covers basic menu navigation, the second one covers temperature profile programming. Hope this is helpful. I'll make a 3rd on flashing the firmware next time I flash one. In the meantime, let me...

    I'll have another 25 units built this weekend, so if you're still interested in ordering one of these please go to blackboxbrew.com and click the paypal button at the bottom of the main screen. And yeah, I know the name is a little unoriginal; as an engineer it's the best I could do :) Based...

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

    I nerded out and made a basic website last night to sell the next round of these things (since they're not really "extras" at this point so I shouldn't be selling them in this forum). I'm building a batch of them today and tomorrow and will post the link here once I've got them built. Will...

    Stc-1000+

    This is the one I bought, super cheap and free shipping. It's a 10 pack, so you'll have plenty to go around.

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

    Everyone who paid today should have received tracking info from me (via PM) or from Paypal (via email). If you didn't, and you sent me $ today, PM me. As I mentioned before, the interest level in these things was pretty strong, so I'm gonna whip up another batch of them. I'll post a link here...

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

    Well that was quick, all 7 sold pending payment. Seems to be quite a bit of interest in these things. The wife is out of town this weekend, so I ordered some more parts and will spend the weekend building some more of these. Since this no longer aligns with the intent of this "for sale" forum...
