    So do you actually have (3) 4kW elements which can sum to 12kW? 12kW at 240V takes your current draw to 50A, doesn't leave much of a safety margin.

    You guys did a great job, it's hard keeping folks entertained for 3+ hours. Strong work @highland_brewer and @BrunDog

    Thanks, got it sorted. QUESTION: If my formula is F = 7.5Q am I correct that the Counter Element rate is equal to F? If so, then L/m should be the elements rate/7.5 correct?

    Help me with what I'm seeing here. I have added a Counter Element to port 19 that is connected to a flow meter. It's a basic Hall Effect sensor with the formula F=7.5Q I am getting good count total and rate readings but as I increase my pump speed the rate decreases even though the pump output...

    No problem, just checking since I'm on 45K and 1.1.9. Makes sense that it still happens on 13 then. Just happy that 1-wire is behaving now.

    Question....while troubleshooting this I found that sending %3 to reset the 1-wire, shut my MOSFET module off. I verified this with a voltage reading. Is this by design? 1-Wire is on port 15, MOSFET module is on port 6. EDIT: I moved the MOSFET to port 13 (a non-1-wire port). It still shuts off...

    I think I resolved it....all my sensor cables were coiled together under my work table. I separated everything and the issue has not repeated again, at least over the last hour or so.

    Having an interesting problem. I am finally testing my 12VDC pump using a MOSFET. MEGA, 12V, and 5V grounds are all tied together. With the pump either at 0% or 100% everything is fine. With any other intermediate value the 1-wire bus acts up giving me intermittent values of -196.6....happens on...

    Minor feature request. Low Priority. Be able to change the font color on the Chart Element DisplayName property to accommodate visibility when using light background themes/backgrounds.

    I have found something in my Hysteresis element that does not seem correct. I have it functioning in the "heating" mode, so a -3 degrees is my ON offset. I am using a 1-wire sensor for the input, this sensor has a calibration of 1.5 degrees linear offset. What I am finding is that the hysteresis...

    The name of the workspace is contained in the "<name>" tag after "</Elements>" EDIT: So $Data = $CFGFile.Configuration.Workspaces.Workspace.Elements.Element Does not go to the Name tag Configuration.Workspaces.Workspace.Name

    True. I've done a pretty good job of documenting every aspect of the hardware but now need to clean-up the software side. I've just been using the Interface Wiring Map and noting connections to all ports with the unique element name. I'm thinking of doing a spreadsheet though so I can also...

    I was able to name a script HLT PID and then create a PID element named HLT PID.......since variables cannot have two words as names, I'm guessing there is something else named HLT PID somewhere

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Do you have any variables in any scripts named "HLT PID"?

    Ah, Adafruit WINC1500 shield, attached to ES screw shield, attached to MEGA. It's been stable now for over 45min, the main difference right now is our ISP is down from the hurricane so it's just an isolated LAN right now.
