    Small Batch Automated System

    Is that 1F/90s on the OUT of your RIMS?

    Small Batch Automated System

    Super interested in this RIMS vs HERMS. What kind of temp ramp rates are you seeing with your setup?

    Delta brewing systems ferm tank

    I have one of these. Their customer support is amazing. I was able to use the dump valve to collect yeast in a non dry hopped lager after it was transferred. The bottom drain also does make it very easy to clean with no lifting and dumping. Awesome all around.

    Interesting... I am not familiar with the braumeister, but I am guessing its recirc and similar to other recirc biab. I wonder if the faster liquid turnover past the element on a RIMS setup with a boil coil watt density (25? i think) would have this same fate. There is a lot of "stale" space...

    Yeahhhh..... you guys should just go ahead and release it now. Hit ctrl+s, then type type a name (could just use "s" to make it super fast), hit enter. Saved. From then on, just hit ctrl+s to save it to that file.

    The output is now a positive number, but there is still the issue of it being a non-zero number when the PV is less than the SP. For a cooling system, shouldn't the output be zero if the PV<SP? Again, this is only using Kp, Ki and Kd are zero.

    @BrunDog I have a question about the Reversed switch on the PID. In this example, for a "heat" PID I have a process variable (aka temp) at 45.5F with a set point of 46, with the default PID settings with Kp = 1 and Ki and Kd = 0, the output is 49. This makes sense. However, if I want the PID to...

    I also think I fixed my ESP32 disconnect issue. My wired ethernet cable was unplugged (probably my child), and my BC cpu fell back to wifi. Since plugging back in, I have not had a disconnect in about 12 hrs.

    EDIT: IM AN IDIOT! I am checking the wrong thing in my if statements! :confused: I am keeping this here for reference. But, I will post my updated code in a bit. The code uses 2 dummy PIDs attached to 2 empty pins that are driven by the temp of the fermenting beer. Then the PID values are...

    So my hysteresis is somehow caused by having a script running that polls if a script value is not equal to the hys Target. When this script is active the target shown on the element is correct, but it is somehow using the offset as the target and applying no offset. For example if the target is...

    I have been using 2 wait codes instead of the if loop. Wait for discon, counter +1, wait for reconn, go-to loop. This is blocking, so you obviously can't do anything else within the loop, like check multiple elements in one script. You would have to have separate scripts for each element.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I will try those. For my hysteresis element, there was a script that has an if statement checking the state against a script variable (if x != "Hys" Target). If the "if" was true then it would change the hysteresis target, but it would never have been true in this case unless the disconnect was...

    I have an issue with my ESP32 connected via WiFi disconnecting and reconnecting randomly, sometimes every 5 mins or so. Is there a way to get some verbose debugging or logging from that device? The ESP32 is not losing wifi connection according to my router logs, so it seems to be communication...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    @BrunDog In terms of script execution and utilized resources, are the wait and looped if statements identical? Or is the wait command interrupt driven. For example, in the two scenarios below, which is the better in terms of system resources? /* [main] if A > B do stuff endif goto "main" */...

    Is there a way without scripting a custom PID, to have one PID feed another PID's setpoint?
