    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I remember the spark igniters caused problems back in the BCS days.. HSI, hot surface igniters were preferred. I was going to automate gas, so I bought a Honeywell SV9641M4510 valve and Q3450C1185 HSI igniter, but never got around to implementing.. If you live in an area with furnaces, I...

    I see this on the very left of 1.1.0.9 and 1.1.0.15 . this seems to be the easiest place to grab for me.

    yeah, Sankeys are thick... I have three Sankeys that I welded 8" TC's on and I could put an 8" end-cap reducer with a 4" w/plastic end cap and a 2" on it with the spunding/dip tube and it would transmit I guarantee.. If you had even just a 4" TC, you could make a non-metallic end cap with a...

    7, will try a diff resistor.. likely will put another 4.7 in parallel since that is easiest.

    In an effort to use a standard, unmodified mega with the screw shield, I attempted to use the small 'USR-ES1' W5500 module I bought on eBay a while back. I got it working using the ICSP header and D10, with 45O and 1.1.0.15 This will probably be the easiest solution until/if someone puts the $5...

    normally, I would agree, but I didn't touch the hardware to make it stop working and I only have to do a 10-20 second power-off to make it start working... maybe I should try switching the power to the 1-wire with a digital output or a NC relay and then issueing the %3....

    Unsure, have nto dealth with iSpindle. I know that for a single unit, the ESP32 next to a 2" glass TC endcap works, and a 4" poly endcap works for 3 10bbl units next to each other with the ESP32 above them. This also works for TiltPi monitoring the same things. I also have the ESP32 running...

    %3 does not do it, as I stated and showed a screen capture of in my post. Is there one to reset the entire interface?

    I use 4" polycarbonate end cap on the hopping port of my 10BBL with great success. Remember, the tilt will always like to migrate to a wall, so the path from the entire wall surface should be as unobstructed as possible, this includes putting it at the center of the dome as possible, making...

    my apologies, I did not see them in the manual, but they are right there... Edit - it takes full power off of board for 10 seconds or more to get the temp probes reading again, and I have USB access to the device... Granted this is 1.1.0.9 and 45K, so I will wit until I replace this board with...

    is there a list of % commands? I have 0,1,2,3,7 from the communications window and the following work in termite when the interface is not connected to BC: %0&15; - setup %1&14; debug 1 level %2&17; undebug 1 level %3&16; reset 1-wire (found through trial and error) %4&11; does something with...

    you have both the N4100 and the J4125 though, right? is the diff noticeable? My T7700 core2duo 2.4 4GB takes 30 seconds to boot BC with my config, the same config moved to a i7-4770 3.4 16gb still takes 23 seconds with the same config.

    to me, 32 is way overkill for BC w SQL, I would like 16gb over 8, and saw this on ali for $238 with J4125/16GB/128GB edit - I just noticed that the N4100 I linked for $165 also is saying $125 off with a prime credit card application, which is the highest I have ever seen... but the J4125 will...

    @BrunDog - in your opinion is the J4125 worth the $35 premium over the N4100 version for $165 (200 with $35 coupon applied at checkout) for running BruContol(with SQL)? I remember you bought an N4100/8GB a while back, I was looking at a comparison of the processors, and was on the fence...

    While tinkering in the RTD code, porting the fault codes over might be a low-effort bonus... and with 2-wire correctly done, The MAX31865 can do thermistors also however you would have to change R-ref, but if making a PCB, that is simple.

    How often the calculation is performed doesn't seem to do the trick, I will keep tinkering. is the library used for PID a published one or is there a similar one you could point to that is published? Another issue - I also noticed that with 1-wire, at least, PID seems to take pre-calibration...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    another question regarding PID, how many intervals is the integral term determined over? A longshot, but can we make it a variable? I would like in a lower number of samples, and 'Max Integral' is not quite doing the trick...
