    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I think you would have to get @BrunDog to add that to the program. Right now the Input is on the PID Element and that single Probe Provides the Temperature for the Probe. When I was using the BCS early on, you could do that, but after using it for a while, I decided it was a bad idea. I was...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Probably nothing to do with globals but I did find that I had some comments that might be causes some issues. I had several //<><><><><><><><><><><><<><><><><><><> When I looked at the raw brucfg file, they were converted to some code. I go rid of those and it looks like it solved many...

    New BrewBuilt X1 Uni Pro Fermenter

    I have the 14 gal one and in a 75 Degree Room it handled the 68 Ferment Fine. Cold Crash? Nope. 47 is the best it will do.

    Most firmware updates have Not had any effect on the scripts. Fw46 does, but was fairly easy to fix. If you are not using any analog ports, really an easier upgrade. The are more options for some ports than before. One reason is upgrade for Future Firmware updates

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Tartan has a great idea. Just save your configuration and give it a name beside .....copy.brucfg and choose it as your configuration under settings. You could then upgrade at your own pace and switch boards between FW 45 and FW 46 (or Just reflash them). Go between configurations and FW 45...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I am having an issue again with too many Global Elements. I use globals for lots of things like labels and to store things that do not change between brews (such as flow rates between vessels). I also use Globals to store Setpoints that I can change and then update the Target of an Element...

    River City is correct to get you up and running. Don't fix it if it a'int broken. For upgrading to v46,The biggest change will be with Analog Ports A1-A15 if you have used them. You will need to delete the "old" Elements and recreate "new" ones for any analog ports. See BruControl...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Another Self Induced Odd Error This NOT an issue, but an FYI I created a script that was looping. it was a fairly short script but had several sleep 100 commands in the loop. When I ran it, it would basically not allow me to stop the script or even shut down BruControl. I would have to...

    Self Induced Odd Error I had a script named scrTest I created another script named scrTest ( stupid I know, but I had forgotten the other one). When I put the stop scrTest as the last line and ran the second one, it gave me the "End of Script" error. This is NOT an issue, just FYI...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I have traced my wires and rechecked the connection. I also purchased a 0 to 5 v analog voltmeter. It was my fault it was not working. I was trying to find out what "Predictive Hysteresis" did and was re reading the manual an found my issue. Offset must be NEGATIVE :rolleyes:for heating or...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I am trying to trouble shoot an issue with Hysteresis and the Unishield, I have the control wire hooked to PIN/Port 5 (and have tried PIN/Port 9) connected to the P screw terminal 9-2P (8-2P for Port 9). Hysteresis Elements demands 255 but the elements are not heating. I have created...

    Is there a script command to see if a Timer is running? I have different timers (different workspaces or position on the same workspace) that I want to mirror 100% of the time. I know how to mirror them, I just would like to know if a timer is running so that the others will be running.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Would be nice to have an new element class that is just like a global but does not communicate with the local DB. It could act like a global in all other aspects except for the sql. I have used tons of globals and would use these instead. Of course, fixing the Globals so they do not...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Where can I find the Basic Computer Requirements for BruControl. I looked at brucontrol.com and this thread, but could not find them. I am going to buy a small backup computer as I am dead in the water now with my BruControl Computer. I will use it until I get my computer fixed. I want it to...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I just replaced the Mega 2560 on my UNIshield. While I had it out of its cabinet, I want to wire some ports for future use. It is hard to wire in the cabinet. The wires will be capped on the future device side and connected to the Pins on my Unishield. Before anyone jumps, I KNOW that you...

    I am soldering my SM6004 flow meter circuits (finally). Any comments on setting them up and any scripts on totalizing. I have two SM6004 so I can measure the Sparge Water and then later the final volume to the Fermentor. I may move it in the manifold so I can measure Wort to the Brew Kettle...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I think it was a Router issue. I bought a new ESP 32 and did some resets on the router. It now connects (new ESP 32). I will check the old one later today. I am going to replace the Mega 2560 on the unishield as it will not connect via serial so I can never do a future firmware...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I re flashed the ESP 32 and had no success getting it to connect. Tried a different IP. No success. Tried a different Router, No Success. Held down the Reset on the ESP 32. No Success. Are there any settings or files I can delete in BruControl to see if it will reset any connections?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Yesterday, all my connected devices except for a serial one disconnected and will not reconnect. There were two Mega(s) and and ESP 32. The router is connected to other devices (like a network printer) and those have no problems. I have tried the reset and have started to flash one of the...
