    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I beta tested on an old win95 era (15 years old now) computer 1 gig memory running XP. BruControl ran fine. Later, I also used a 2 gig ram Android tablet running iBochs emulator with XP. BC ran fine (after a 45 minute boot into BC however). Then I went experimenting win Win10 on the RPI after XP...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Currently, Win10 can't boot on the RPI 4. When that work is done - and work is being done on that - it will solve the 1 meg memory limitation (and latency) of using BC on the RPI. I am trying to work through the use of BC, scripting and recipe import (which I don't have the the knowledge to do...

    Die_Brewery, Thank you for posting the YouTube vid on importing a recipe into BC. It gave a good overview of the process. More complicated than I imagined, however, for a lowly non-coder or engineer. Between the enormous help and advice from BrunDog, RiverCityBrewer, Day_Tripper (and many...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Thanks, your help is appreciated and would like to take you up on your kind offer. I am in the process of learning how to use Node-Red, and I posted earlier, I am experimenting running Win10 and BC on a RPI 3B+, and trying to tweak as much latency out of build 1903 as I can. I am not new to...

    RiverCityBrewer, can you be more specific on a XML parser, and how to use the pieces of the beerxml file. I have pro and want to utilize that feature, but I don't understand how to use it. Thanks!

    I also have 24VAC, 24VDC, 12VDC and 5VDC plus a 750 AC travel router and a RPI 3B+ in my cabinet ( I used valcro on one side of the cabinet for the router and RPI). I agree, tightvnc is a good way to go. I switched from teamviewer to use less resources. Don't use Microsoft RDP. There is an...

    People put me down, but that's why I use the Win10 on Arm on the RPI - it's in the cabinet!

    Brucontrol script primer. Is there one?

    Thanks, that's the info I need to get it working. Copy and paste errors are easy to do.

    Brucontrol script primer. Is there one?

    Hi, BrunDog, no that line is not in quotes. It is quoted for this discussion. I actually copied and pasted that line and others prior from an example script you had posted at one time, as that portion was addressing calibration of the flow meter, and minimum and maximum flow rates. I can expound...

    Brucontrol script primer. Is there one?

    I am glad the issue of scripting help has come up, and agree more scripting help may be needed. I too am struggling with writing script, as my rig gets more and more complicated with pressure sensors, flow meter, proportional valves, propane valves, etc. I have copied and pasted snippets of...

    littlewashintonbrewery, You are correct that brass can contain lead, but many states, such as my state, Maryland, no longer allows lead to be in brass. Oakburn, if you wish to use brass, just make sure the brass does not contain lead. It will be stated on the product. If from overseas, I would...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    If anyone is interested, I have Win10 running BC on a raspberrypi 3 b+ using a fast 32 g A1 speed sd card. There in no wireless working but ethernet connects to the internet. Boot time is 1:20 minutes and after sign in, another 20 seconds. BC comes up ready to go in another 2:30 minutes. Much...

    BrunDog, my purpose for working on the emulation of your program is not driven by cost, but by a need to be mobile. I really like using a tablet rather than a PC. What I find is that after the program is up and running, I am good to go.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I guess I should say the scripts related to Win10 on the RPI. I have been successfu[ running BruControl on Android running XP under emulation, albiet a little slowly.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I am working on that right now. I had errors yesterday downloading the scripts, but will try again tonight.
