That's good enough for me. :) I'll buy one of each, install the firmware, and report back.

Just wanting confirmation that this Jaycar ESP32 product is compatible with BruControl. And confirmation that the Adafruit 4*20 LCD + backpack will work like Mega R3's? And is this the component that supports the Tilt devices? And while I am at it, is this Jaycar ESP8266 compatible with...

he he, thanks guys. I must have thought there was an elseif instead of just the else. I guess now is the time to ask for a script compiler then. :p

Had a strange problem with my script last night. It picks up a target temperature from a global variable (which is populated via the API from my website) and sets the Target for a Hysteresis element. My script was if "BlackFridge_NewTargetTemp" Value == -50 // do nothing...

I could certainly use an alias property. So the id of the element could be big and ugly for use in scripts or consuming through the API, but the user is presented with a nicely named console view. I would alias both of the "FermentName" global variables with "Name" (and other fermentor not in...

:oops: :D

I have used the new data exchange feature to enable communication between my website brewerschronicle.com and BruControl. So my website you connect a fermentor to a ferment log. This fermentor has a bunch of "devices" attached (current temp, target temp, latest gravity, etc identified by the...

I've got some graphs which are tied to global variables. The graph only charts values when global variables on the same workspace. My global variables are getting fairly extensive now I'm tying in data from my website to the BruControl API. Can we get the chart updating from global variables...

oh yeh, I forgot about the adjustments and multipliers. I used those when creating the PT100 element. Cool, that sounds like a much better solution than really long PT100's. Thanks once again.

Bang on Crane. I wasn't seeing this as a solution to my current hardware problems, but as a way to avoid long run shielded PT100 cables given the expense and delay of getting them in Aus. I can go to a bunch of shops near by and get shielded 2-core cable all day for cheap. I'm looking at over...

I've done a bunch of searching and can't find any conversations about BruControl supporting PT100 4-20mA transmitters. These seem to be a better idea than doing long PT100 cable runs. Just need shielded 2-core cable (which is dead cheap compared to longer PT100s) instead of shielded PT100...

Updated my local software to use the BruControl API to submit target and temp readings to my API. Tomorrow night's task is to pass down the calculated target temperature based on Tilt gravity readings from my API to my local software and then pass that into BruControl's API. Fully automated...

Looks VERY similar to the seller I just bought 4 probes from. Although I could not find any shielded 4m cables, so just bought normal 4m cables and will add the shielding myself. I'll be looking at adding flyback diodes to all my relays which switch 24V on advice from BrunDog and a crap-ton of...

That was for a PT100 sheathed in stainless steel braid with a drain wire incorporated hand-built in Australia. Things are always expensive here. I'll chase up a cheaper braided 4 metre probe on eBay or something. So a probe like this or this. And then solder a wire to sheet to earth out...

When we provide power to the 24V ball valves attached to the cooling system, the temps read straight to -246 and then slowly come back up to actual reading. Like the probe or associated circuit had complete power loss. I'm wondering whether the existing cooling system and fermentors use...

The shield being grounded is what I have come to believe, but then the components guy says no, and he made the point of being in industry for 30 years so... Cool, I will continue to chase down a 4 metre shielded 3-wire PT100 probe and ground it to arduino gnd. We haven't even placed the PT100...

And the component guy's comment goes against my tinfoil shielding experiment I got my client to do with a 1 metre probe he has on hand. He "shielded" the temp probe cable in tinfoil, and earthed that out to the Arduino GND pin. Temp probe then worked as per normal.

Man, around in circles I go. I was just talking to a component supplier in Australia who was saying the probe would not need to be earthed, and it would be an earthing problem with the PT100 transmitter (4-20mA converter), which I assume in this case is the MAX31865 board. The MAX31865 plugs...

Can anyone comment on max length of PT100 probes? I am looking at around a 4M cable length probe. Is that going to cause any problems with the amps the Arduino can push down the wire? As an aside, is there any way to read the MAX31865's error fault condition? I am chasing down a temperate...

If you are assigning static IP address via DHCP, then you need the MAC address. You can grab that from the router list of assigned IP addresses. Forget about displaying the MAC address on the LCD. That's not important, was just a nice. If not possible, then forget about it.
