I believe many have used Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Visio, and I used Lucid Chart. You can check out Post #4,041 for some more info on that route if you are interested.

I would agree that adding an element location/size lock that is separate from the lock on the functional aspects of the element would be very helpful. I find that I need functionally unlocked elements on my workspace for various reasons at times but once the workspace is set up, I would guess...

It has been some time since I put this together but it was an Uno R3, 1602 LCD Keypad shield, MCP4725 DAC, HX711 load cell amplifier, your choice of controller mount, power supply, wiring, enclosure, etc. I got most of this off of Amazon except for the spark fun load cell amplifiers. One can...

Indeed, auto starting some utility scripts that run some core things like a totalizer is something to consider. A big plus for BC is its flexibility with many different ways to accomplish the same thing.

While I would very much rather use a more modern bus to bring in sensor information (say Profibus or Ethernet/IP), the current state of Arduino/BC does not reasonably allow for that. Analog I/O is reliable and proven in the industrial automation world. That said, for flow totalizing, I would...

So far the flow meters have been reliable and accurate for both flow and temperature but I've been sidetracked by a home renovation project the last six months and not much has progressed recently. The last time I was working on my brew rig I was able to use two IFM flow meters as the input for...

I have finally found a minute to install the newest "v45K" firmware and I can confirm that the previously non-functional analog inputs (A8-A15) are now working on the Grand Central. Thank you Pete! I am one of those that has converted from the MEGA 2560 over to the Grand Central and I must say...

So I have been poking around in the MEGA/GC wiring maps and BruControl configurations for these controllers and I can't seem to find much of a difference between the two that would require manual reworking when going from the MEGA to the GC. Sure the analog MaxValue is different because of the...

Pins 7 and 9 I can confirm do not create PWM. Unless it is my config that is not correct having come from the MEGA.

What is it that needs to change manually in the configuration that the interface change in the setup would not do? Sounds like I should be doing that.

Thus far, going back and forth between the MEGA and the Grand Central has been as simple as changing the controller type in the interface setup. I have not seen a difference between doing that and a setup that was a native GC but I assume there are some quirks I am missing. That said, the...

Quick question. The Grand Central has two independent MSPS DACs on board at pins A0 and A1 that can directly output analog voltages (albeit only 0-3.3V). It is 10-bit I think. Is there any way to get a true analog out device element and have it assigned to the A0 and A1 pins of the GC in its...

Yeah, I am a persistent type that won't stop until I fix something or figure out well enough that I can't, so no worries on that testing. I can sit tight and move on to other things. I can still finish off the wiring now that I know those analog inputs are no longer sort of not available.

I am hoping someone has some insight into a strange problem I am having with analog inputs. I recently received a Grand Central based UniShield that I have been getting wired up in my enclosure. Everything is working properly except for analog inputs A8-A15. Analog inputs A0-A7 work as...

Oh man, that is a useful column to have in the wiring map! I should have checked the 2560. I understand the generic aspect, that makes sense now that I have the decoder ring! Thanks for the help on that.

OK so I have recently come into possession of my Grand Central UniShield (thanks again Pete). I am getting started on the installation and I have a few questions. I do need to spend some more time fleshing out some things on my own but I thought I would ask those who have one, for perhaps, a...

While I'm definitely a DIY type of guy, that sure is a good looking compact design.

Oh that is unbelievably unfortunate indeed. That is a tough thing to absorb right now. Sorry for your loss.

I have no idea:) This might shed some light on how they are doing it though. https://facts-engineering.github.io/config.html

Looks like they are using SPI for communication with the P1000 modules.
