    Yes. Check post #2124 above.

    Damn it. I thought I remembered that was related to the new global "date" type. I didn't remember it included time as well. Thanks for the heads up.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    So why does this not work? I have a switch to turn on/off the Hop Stand 1 and global items for the Hop Stand 1 Temp and the Hop Stand 1 Time. I have the two global's setup as a value for temp and a time for the, well time. Running the script pulls the state of the switch and the value set in...

    I did find it. I found I could do it if I hovered over the tiny little bar on the far left or right portion of the script window at the window border but not while hovering along the script window horizontal bar in the middle of the screen. That would be super hard with a touch screen I would...

    OK, I messed around a bit more and I have a version that looks much like the BC scripting window with the typical theme. The link below is for the updated UDL.xml file as well as a theme file that is needed to change the global background. Import the BruControl_UDL-R2.xml file as before and...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Ah OK, I feel a little better now! I would also add that pulling the text script writing out of BC itself, decouples it from BC such that I don't have to RDP to the BC computer and I also don't have to install a copy of BC on every computer I might want to do some script editing. Granted you...

    OK maybe I'm a dummy but how do you or can you even go full screen with the scripting window or even just make it bigger than the bottom 1/3 of the screen? I can't seem to make that happen. Do I need to RTFM again? :) This is kind of why I went to Notepad++ to give me more real estate. Not...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Well I gave it a shot and put something together quickly. Looks to be OK. I assigned the UDL to a made up extension (.bruscript) so it would automatically apply the proper language when I opened a text file that has that same extension. I.E. I create text files for my BruControl scripting...

    Has anyone spent any time developing a UDL (user defined language) for BruControl in Notepad++ by any chance? The UDL is really a syntax highlighting scheme. If so, would you care to share the UDL XML file? Or are you just typing away without much formatting?

    Quick update. My 44K flashed ESP32 board has been rock steady and reconnecting no matter what network & power problem I throw at it. So that is looking good. Same for my ethernet connected MEGA 2560 on 44K.

    I too would wait for an alternative without the soon to be reached memory induced limitations of the MEGA 2560.

    Me either. I am not personally interested in this board given my brew/ferm rig needs but I came across this while researching the Adafruit Grand Central board. Perhaps someone might give it a shot if they have a need for 24v.

    Pricey but this has been around since 2015. No idea if it would work with BC firmware or not but it is a MEGA 2560 based unit. https://www.controllino.biz/controllino-mega/

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I have a general question around the things to consider when switching from a 5V board (MEGA 2560) to a 3.3V board (Adafruit Grand Central M4 Express). Is my following reasoning correct? It looks like the TF-3, RP-3, and AA boards would all work with 3.3V Vcc, my relay boards would be powered...

    I don't have any so it doesn't bother me if you retire them :). At some point, you can't continue to support everything as resources could be better spent elsewhere.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Yeah, it's no problem, I just wanted to give some data that might be useful to collectively get a bigger picture. I expected that it might be the same type problem but it felt slanted towards the ESP32 and wireless due to the previous comments by myself and others. So I thought I would add...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Maybe I'm seeing a pattern here or maybe I am not but I'm seeing some BC connection oddities on network connected interfaces. I performed some network maintenance today and updated my router, switches and UAP firmwares (Ubiquiti gear). I have been testing the ESP32 WiFi stability so I have...

    I actually have a UniFi network at the house as well. Right now the client load and channel distribution is clean and stable. If you believe the WiFi experience values, all is well . If the wireless network is the problem, it is only related to the ESP32 wifi implementation and the network...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    OK, before I start to dig in and mess stuff up. Is there a trick to the Adafruit ESP32 Feather board to get it to connect back to BruControl? I flashed firmware 44J to it, configured the WiFi, choose the Tilt color and all was well. It connected to the WiFi (-53 dBm) and BC found it no...
