    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I am having an issue where I have two 12 vdc latching Switches to control 2 Gas Valves. When the Ports are "Off" I am getting a little feedback on the LED (glow very dim). Any ideas as to the cause? I can hook up to a 12 v power supply directly (Mega out of the wiring) and no feedback.

    I found the issue. It was a Meanwell 110v to 12vdc transformer. It pulses with nothing connected when checking the power, I had a little round voltmeter on it that did not pulse. I have removed it from service.

    Is there a Limit on The Mega (or Grand Central) Unishield related to the number of concurrent Digital Outputs used. I know about the limitations on the VA-VD power banks but I am needing to know about the drivers to the internal relays. There is a limit of 200 ma according to the Arduino...

    I am trying to hook up some Valves that are powered on and powered off. They are not reverse polarity but have a Negative and two + leads. I am using a Relay to switch. When the Element is Off, it is fine, but when I turn the Element on, it pulses On then Off fairly rapidly {and the valve is...

    Hop Recalculations

    What formulae does the Vikeman (creator of Brewcipher use)? The spread sheet is a great tool.

    Hop Recalculations

    I forgot the formula I used by I think it was a combination of different ones, I will try to find again, After looking at it it seemed that a 15 minute hop does effect the bitterness but not the Flame Out hop. I am wondering now if I should wait to add the aroma hops at 169 degrees? Also...

    Hop Recalculations

    What got me thinking is that I added a formula to calculate IBUs. Basicalily, flavor and aroma hops contribute 0 IBUs According to the calculation I found

    Hop Recalculations

    I would love to buy hops with the same AAU as the recipe, but that is basically impossible. I have to take what is available.

    Hop Recalculations

    I have made reciopes and have always recalculated the ounces based upon the bought hops versus the recipe AAU valves, I have done it for any hops regardless of the timing. Should I be doing this for Flavors Hops (15 minutes or less) or just go with the ounces in the Recipe for Flavor and...

    Does the script Clear command just clear the variables within the script where it was executed, or is it universal and clear All variables across scripts?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Thanks. Worked great. I have most of the hop calculations done. I have been changing the hops due to the fact that when you import the xml, you could have up to 8 hops. Before I had it set for 2 Bitter Hops, 2 Flavor Hops, and 2 Aroma Hops. I now have generic Hops (Hop 1 to Hop 8). I...

    You can also go to a backup but you would loose andy changes made to the configuration including your lost element so it would be where it was. I always make a quick backup before I start some major changes and then make peroidic backups when I am happy with my changes.
