    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Taking the chance during a conference call this morning to start building my 8 RTD ESP32 Cantex box, I have some nylon standoffs coming, had to sand about 1 mm off each side of the two RP-3 boards stacked in the box, and will have to drill new holes that are not hidden by the rtd amps... This...

    I took a chance on a cheap ESP32 'LOLIN32' board with onboard LiPo battery port and it seems to work well, will put it through it's paces in the next few weeks... I liked the Adafruit feather, but they are up to nearly $30 now... I got 3 for $12 from aliexpress and will be seeing if it, a...

    I do not think the W5100 uses that pin. the official sunfounder site PCB photos look to not have that pin actually connected to the circuitry of the W5100.

    the robotdyn with POE is *excellent* IMHO... but a SonOff format device (can mount in their waterproof clear housing and power with AC) that used a stacking header ESP32 NodeMCU is my Holy grail at the moment...

    interesting issue with graphing... after a while, a graph in a different workspace than the test setup is missing data.. this never happens in the graph in the same workspace. To get it to re-appear, I have to open the graph properties(in either workspace) and close again.. but it just fills...

    I have a simplified version of the script installed and monitoring.. I guess I will display the original dual input element, and graph the SG Avg and hide the value Add Elements: FV1 Tilt FV2 Tilt Add Globals FV1 SG Avg FV2 SG Avg [setup] new value CurrSG CurrSG precision = 0 new value...

    I do not see the interface element for the tilt in your screenshot, it looks like you have new discrete variables displayed, such as "FV1 SG Avg". can I have it display like normal with both SG and temp in the widget, without a lot of work?:

    Were you able to keep both Tilt readings, Temp and SG in the same container? I have not been able to justify the time to set aside to sit down for hours and understand and write scripts...

    It doesn't match now... The TiltPi app updates every 5 seconds, and shows how long it has been since last update... BC is about every 20-30 seconds, I am sitting here with a watch with a second hand watchign it live now, sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 30-35 seconds... I have it set to 10 in the...

    yes, if the USB adapter has AC powered off for more than a minute, or the USB cable has been removed, the ESP32 comes right up... it is when the AC USB dongle(mostly iphone usb chargers) is only removed from power for 20 seconds, and then power is re-applied, there is something happening...

    I have both Gen1 and Gen2 tilts also. Gen1 was built from an off-the-shelf "Light blue bean". V2 and V3 are same internals.. I agree that fermentation does not change that fast, but I do need faster than a 1-hour average, I could do that manually with a hydrometer. I am absolutely looking to...

    My Tilt on TiltPi updates every 5 seconds, and receives a beacon every one second.

    funny you say that... this morning I saw that about a half hour after I went to bed, everything related to the ESP disconnected... (This ESP has RTDs and handles the Tilt.) I have previously had this happen when I power cycled all the network gear and it took a power cycle to bring a few...

    OK, that makes sense... I think I have rediscovered that fact about a half-dozen times int he last couple years... yeah, I knew they used the same radio, so maybe treat the 10 second tilt readings in the ESP32 like analog inputs with a weight... It would be nice to work this into the actual...

    I upgraded firmware (still on BC 1.1.4 as it is production) and it worked fine, still obviously jumpy from the tilt moving during my very active rum fermentations, and then I realized about 10 minutes later that my TiltPi that is nearby and plugged into the same power strip 'just happened' to...

    You get SonOff to make a Dual based on ESP32, and I will let you take a hammer to every one of my ESP8266/85's... until then, they are worth their weight in gold...

    yeah, spec'd out a big order for the extended version today for a customer, wth graphics card and while verifying what cable to get for 4x monitors, I saw they can support 4x Displayport and 2x miniDP ports... 6 monitors! And a guy on ebay has 60 of em for $200 each...
