    Stauff clamps are great but they may be a bit pricey. You can use the triclamp as a support by welding a 3/8-1/2" round rod in between the clamp (just under the 90deg elbow or the next one down) and the leg of the table. It's not done commercially that I've seen but I've done it at my brewery...

    I'm a metal worker by occupation. This is highly dependant on the gauge of the tank, positioning/location and size of the TC ferrule. A proper weld will allow for quiet a bit of deformation but repeated bending back and forth will actually harden the stainless and cause it to crack. Check out...

    Any luck getting a TILT connection to this?

    Any idea where to solder the three wires to get 1 wire integration?

    What are you driving with the relays?

    Still having issues with random Mega disconnects after adding the third RP 3 board. @BrunDog this is the same issue we tried to diagnose a while back to no avail, you recommended having various interfaces as to not rely too heavily on any one. I currently have Mega 3560 controlling/monitoring...

    Its interesting to see the various ways to perform the same goal. The second one @BrunDog sent seems pretty elegant. Thankyou for the help guys

    I'll see if I can re write this using your example to make use of multiple fermenters. Thanks for the help!

    Without running through testing this is seems your adding a value each time the switch is pressed and it automatically returns the switch to false. Each increment then reports the status to the global. Why can't we control the state of the button? Also, I think I'll have an issue with the wait...

    I'm working on a button that changes a global to indicate the status of a given fermenter. I was able to come up with the code below and all is working but not as intended, It wasnt till I went to add the other fermenters that I realized the flaw in the wait command. Looking for a solution to...

    @RiverCityBrewer, You say to run the NC fin relay through the NO air temp relay. I understand the interlock aspect of this suggestion but are you suggesting through NC to NO to prolong the life of the relay?

    Cold storage made it through a few days of testing (20' x 10'). This is with a wall mounted split unit and a roof mounted window unit. For the NC on the FIN relay, I'll need to set the hysteresis to active high and jumper the pin on the relay board correct? I assume I need to reverse the logic...

    I'm using 12-14 to drive the relays and the 200s for the (3) 1-wire probes. Should I try new ports for the relays?

    I tried swapping for a brand new board, same issue. Can I run in debug mode over wifi?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I see what you did there. I'll give that a shot. Thanks I should be able to check resistance without any wires right, straight on the terminals of the probe? While the topic is fresh, if I get the correct ohms I assume this would indicate a change in resistance because of wiring/length? If I...

    The plus sign should be read as the element name think of it as an "and" sign. I'm not trying to perform inline math. No that didn't work. I currently have all variations of the statement (true/false) working without utilizing "else" was wanting to get the else to work to shorten code and learn...

    Seems odd to me that every one of my PT100s require a large negative offset (between -8 and -12F) to read correctly at boil and in slushy ice water. This is across 5 fermenters, hot side vessels and glycol loop. Any ideas what would cause this? I admit they are the cheap chinese ones...

    Where does the other else go? Cant get it to work... [Loop] if "CS ROOF + ROOM HYSTERESIS" value == true if "CS ROOF HEATER HYSTERESIS" value == true "CS ROOF ACTIVE" value = Yes else "CS ROOF ACTIVE" value = No endif else "CS ROOF ACTIVE" value = No endif sleep 1000 goto...
