    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I'm working through wifi disconnect issues... Usually for 3-5 secs on irregular intervals. It reconnects no problem, going to start some in depth troubleshooting this afternoon... This is a new issue since firmware update. No hardware changes.

    Is there a way for a script to monitor the interface connection and have an alarm send a notification if it disconnects after a specified length of time?

    This is the one linked from the BruControl.com site....it’s the one I use. https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-IRF520-MOSFET-Arduino-Raspberry/dp/B01I1J14MO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1494560111&sr=8-4&keywords=arduino+mosfet&linkCode=sl1&tag=bruco-20&linkId=64e05b7ae6822e86c96104550fdd768c

    For a DC pump, the MOSFET module which works like the DC speed control in that picture.

    Life cycle management is a PITA!

    Could you use a flow transducer on the HLT output and stop when flow is less than some minimal value? I would think a simple Hall effect would work since it doesn't need accuracy, just flow or no flow.

    That ODYSSEY looks very intriguing.

    This guy is doing some killer work with a board designed around the Raspi Compute Module... It's pretty amazing work with a lot of promise... He spun this from the Craftbeerpi to make an all-in-one shield. He's a EE embedded guy with time on his hands...

    So fun putting a build together, waiting for parts like Christmas morning. I do find myself in analysis paralysis often. I have 2 enclosures, a 16x16 and my old 12x12. A 50A design needs room, the outlets are big and surprisingly, the control-side stuff takes up a lot of space too. At first I...

    Hard to say, what you’re seeing is the air conditioner cycling in that room.

    So boil in HLT then underlet into BIAB for mashing. While still mashing, you desire to heat your HLT for sparging the BIAB to achieve boil volume Sounds like you want the ability to run 2 elements simultaneously.

    The control port (ESP pin) would be hardwired to the SSR. BruControl allows multiple GUI elements to be assigned to a single port, however only one can be enabled at a time. So you might have a GUI set-up for PID to mash and another set-up as Deadband for boiling...just an example. You can only...

    Yes, the time/temp step combinations do not have to be loaded via script, they can basically be static elements. The "Hit Play" piece would have to trigger a script. The "Play" would be a button and the script would set in a WAIT state until that button was pressed. The script then handles the...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    The way I picture your layout operating is that at initialization, the 6 step temperatures are loaded and the countdown time for each step is loaded. At eh start of mashing, step one is executed until it's timer reaches zero, then the set point becomes the step 2 temperature and step 2's...

    You need to replace "default.brucfg" with "your_config_name.brucfg"
