RiverCity, Step 7 in the Installation Product Note on the download page looks like it should have everything to point to a SQL Server. I haven't tried it yet but looks like should be able to just modify the DBConnection path to point to a network SQL server I would think.

Thanks BrunDog. Never thought about that, doing that with other elements but never thought about it for graphs. Perfect. Thank you sir.

Got another scripting question. I have looked through the manual and tried to search through the past threads with no luck. Is there a way to script the Time Span and Primary Value Source for a graph element? I have a "single pane of glass" overview workspace and to conserve space I would...

I have a scripting question for all you experts out there. I have seen where I can take a datetime object and add or subtract a value to add or subtract a day or hour to get a new datetime value. I have not been able to reverse this where I can find the difference between two datetime values...

Understood. Thank you for that.

Thanks @RiverCity. I had thought about that and had planned for two flow meters to keep track of my "flow" between HLT to Mash and Mash to Boil to make sure I was keeping correct volume above grain bed but I thought I had read somewhere that the pressure sensors were much more accurate for...

Ok, got a theoretical question I would like to get some thoughts on. I have finished my panel build and looking at making all my final fittings and connections between my brewing vessels. I have a three vessel system and I have fittings on my boil kettle and HLT to support adding pressure...

I ordered my enclosure from FactoryMation.com. Were great to deal with. Eldon metallic panel with sub panel and got wire duct etc. from there as well. They have some 24X24 panels closer to your price range than the elec supply shop and free shipping I believe. https://www.factorymation.com

Wanted to give everyone a heads up on an issue I had with Sunfounder Mega 2560s. I had gotten in two new Sunfounder Megas and noticed that they were slightly different than the original Sunfounders I have been using. The original Rev 3 Sunfounder is white on the back with the blue circle. The...

BrunDog, I had completely missed the DisplayText value in the manual when I was looking. but see it now. I will give that a try as well. I was strictly using Value before.

Oakbarn, outstanding idea. Using the first global with precision and a second global as a string worked and allowed me to concatenate additional text in with the values. I had to concatenate a couple of times due to the nature of the globals but it held the precision. By storing the value in...

Thanks. I will try the secondary global. I have tried it with 1 intermediary global and it didn't retain the precision.

I was looking for some help on string concantenation and value conversion. I would like to display some fermenter information on an LCD panel on the front of my panel. By default the RTD temperature shows up with having 13 decimal places regardless of what I have the element display on the...

Thanks Oakbarn. Hadn't thought of that, but makes sense. Will keep this in mind going forward. Already have a couple of scenarios where this would work out.

I wanted to update the thread and report that I tested the HiLetgo - MAX31865 and they worked no problem with the RP-3 boards and a Mega controller. The only difference that I noticed from the Adafruit was that the reference resistor is not as consistent as the Adafruit model. They can range...

Thanks RiverCity. Glad to hear I am on the right track and it works well.

Want to double check my thinking on something. I have multiple fermentation chambers all monitored with RTD probes. I have one workspace that shows all the chambers and then a separate workspace for each chamber that shows more detail, Tilt graph, Temp Graph, etc. Since an element can only be...

Has anyone tried other MAX31865 PT100 amplifier boards for use with the RP-3 boards that BrunDog sells. With Adafruit out of stock on their board and shipping limited to health care only I was curious if the one below would work or anyone had tried it. Got burned with a different LCD previously...

I have gotten a lot of help from everyone on my BruControl journey so far and wanted to give back a little. I haven't seen much if any info on the JSON import to Global Variables. I saw the info Die_Beerery had put out as well as his YouTube video showing the use of Node-RED. I wanted to do...

I do have it wired to SDA and SCL on the screw shield rather than Pin 20 and 21 that I have seen elsewhere for the Mega. I am guessing that is correct since the backlight command works but thought I should double check.
