    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Wife went on an errand so I did get to load the updates and SUCCESS! PID function is working. Now I just need to play with the tuning. Excellent work on the fix Jim!

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Great! Downloaded the fixes but if I want to stay married I probably won't get to implement/test until the weekend... Thanks for the persistence!

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Not sure if this is helpful but another piece of info on the lockup; on one occasion I had an action going where it was controlling my rice cooker set at 120 degs. Separately, I tried to enable a PID and it hung the interface as described earlier. The switch/relay continued to be on while...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Jim: So I did the following (using Putty): ...and got the response: No change in the behavior/performance. I also tried turning on the Debug messages (not that I would understand them) following the directions on the Teensypi website. Got the minicom running fine and got all the...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    I'm also having trouble with the new PID build. I've downloaded and loaded it twice, including the RPI image and have the same issue. After loading the teensy I can update the chip names, read the temp sensors and manually turn the switches on/off. I can set an action and it seems to work...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Ran my rice cooker test last night and didn't have any issues with the onboard data collection. Ran it in the standard temp control mode so I'm anxious to test the PID tonight. Apologies for modifying the logo but I needed to make it family friendly (plus I impressed myself with figuring out...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    I'm seeing the exact same thing redbenn mentioned. When I left for work this morning I shut down the Teensypi. Came back this evening and turned it on, solid bright LED light on the teensypi and data on the web interface. I could get to the page but it said something about socket error...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    I have my TeensyPi running and am troubleshooting the occasional issues. I've updated with the PID software and have setup a test bed with a SSR/rice cooker so I should have some good data this weekend (need to read-up on PID tuning!). I had to search for and download the PID library file...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Got my TeensyPi assembled over the weekend and booted last night. I was surprised that the soldering/assembly went well considering it was my first one; a lot of fun. The software loading was harder as I had difficulty figuring out the correct directory structure. Winzip didn't like the...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    As your self appointed resident "usability for dummies" tester, may I suggest adding a photo of the underside of the PiPlate in your assembly direction here? http://www.teensypi.com/building-a-teensypi-boards/ I had the same question re: the resistor connection and, being a soldering noobie...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Bad news is I'm dumber than I thought I was; good news is that I don't have to go buy new components! I'll draw my own plan with those changes in mind and run it by you. I have the last of the Teensypi elements ordered so I think this will click better once I have a test setup to play with...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Second the kudos redbenn! I'm working under the assumption I can substitute the Teensypi for the BCS in the attached PJ-generated wiring diagram. Any concerns/issues? I'll use a 5V power supply similar to the one Jim suggested.

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    I'm trying to start small and build a piece at a time but I'm fighting with creeping elegance and keeping enough flexibility to do stuff I may do someday (or not). Initial use will be for temp control of an eKettle and then for a recirculating eBIAB system. Next would be two vessel Brutus 20...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Another noobie question; Does the fact that Jim isn't planning to use the COSM capabilility mean that he will have a different user interface than Redbennss coding or are the two of you just posting your logging/reports data in different location (local vs. cloud)?

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Looks great redbenn! I've been looking through the posts and I haven't seem where you describe your intended application. From my uneducated perspective it looks like you are using the relays to drive for valve solenoids for gas burners and liquid flow; outlets are driving pumps, correct...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    Hello: I'm very excited about this thread and have started to assemble the parts to build per your instructions. i'm completely non-technical so I'm gambling that you guys are going to take this far enough that I won't need to hire a consultant to help me debug and implement on my build. I...
