    panel mount fuses?

    I'm very confused about the voltage/current ratings of fuse holders. I purchased similar fuse holders from Mouser and am wiring them into my panel. I noticed the quick-connect tabs were too small for my 14ga crimp on teminals so I checked the specs and the holder is rated for 10a. I'm...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Just what the doctor ordered; sounds like it will be worth the wait!

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    I'm interested in the 1-wire option/application but have to admit that the smoker application is a lower priority for me until I finish a brew controller (which at my current rate means at least another 4-6 months). The ability to use the Teensypi for fermentation/keezer/brewing/smoking as an...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    So one and only one of the LCD boards attached the Teensypi at any given time should have the two resistors installed; got it! The LCD is reporting action status fine. Doesn't appear that the software is capable of reporting PID status, correct? I don't see an option to tie PID status to...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    That helped. I updated the image and then downloaded the WiringPi Library and it lit right up and displayed action status. I populated all the resistors but wondering now if I need the two you omitted given I'm using your TeensyPi board. It works with them...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Another noobie questions Jimmayhugh: Does the LCD board connect to the IC2 of the Teensy or the RPI? I expected they would be the same but my TeensyPi board has terminal blocks for both. I'm guessing RPI as I think you mentioned previously that the RPI is managing the data communications...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    So are the posts just header pins, like the header pin strip at the top of the board/picture? I'm assuming, if I am using the TeensyPi software as is, that I would need to change the address if I wanted to use more than one LCD at a time, correct? BTW, my switchboards are in/populate and...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    What are the power selector and switch jumpers called. Looked for them at Radio Shack and Mouser.com but no luck so I suspect I just don't know what to ask for.

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    I would use two; one to measure the temp of the meat and one to measure temp in the kettle. I may use an additional to measure ambient temp but would use DS18B20 for that. I'd like to use the DS18B20 for the meat too but I think the probe diameter would be too large. In that scenario, I...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Should clarify that I'm talking about the wrong wattage resistors.

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    My switchboards arrived from HK and the look great. Unfortunately I think I bought the wrong size/watts versions. I bought 1/2W and from the board outline and contacts they look big. Can you confirm which wattage you designed the board for jimmaugh? LCD boards shipped 9 days later so hoping...

    Enclosure

    I'll second the offer to buy one after the OP and first offer are settled. I'm located in 85224.

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Looks promising. There were some kits available that utilized the DS2760 in this way but they are no longer available. Looks like it's feasible to build my own but it would be a project and require a decent amount of coding mods to the Teensypi setup; will have to wait until I finish my...

    RaspberryPi = Game Changer

    Definitely some truth to that. I don't have much in the way of technical skills but at this price you can afford to take your time, learn and draft off folks who do. As I posted, there are others who are probably doing the same thing and open source provides an opportuntity to learn from the...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Ordered some LCD boards and I'm told my switchboards have shipped. I finished a prototype of a simple control box I'm hoping to use for sous vide and fermenter control. It's my test bed for my brew controller too as I'm still struggling with PID tuning. Will work on getting cosm working as...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Switchboard is very intriguing. I've put some on order. Debating if I can put this and a SSR right in the element box of an eKettle and reduce the size of the physical control box drastically, perhap even eliminating it. I just finished the wiring diagram for my control box and I might have...

    Do I hear a group buy opportunity developing? I'm interested in 2-4 boards. Thanks...Jon
