So did this Atlas Scientific pH sensor make it into RC v1.0.1.10 because I haven't found it mentioned yet. If not, when might it be? I've had a shiny new Atlas pH setup for a while and I would very much like to use it :).

Yeah I have a lot of theory and assumption going on here based on experience in other automation platforms and applications. I hope this is how it will work but once I buckle down and get into some scripting and control aspects, I will find out if I need to examine different routes or sensor...

I do need to play around with this but the primary goal is to set the boil kettle pump at say 1 gpm to send fluid into the MLT and then bring fluid out of the MLT back over to the BK at 1 gpm (the Blichmann autosparge could be deployed in this scenario as well to aid in level control but I am...

Sorry I wasn't clearer on my "horizontal" moniker for my RIMS setup. Horizontal is in reference to the location of the two vessels (side by side), not a RIMS heating element. Think of it as the opposite of the Blichmann BrewEasy which would be a vertical, or gravity, arrangement. My primary...

That is perhaps best answered by BrunDog as I am in the early stages of testing that control but that is what I intend to do. That methodology is a common means to control a pump to produce a desired flow rate in industrial control systems.

The SM6004 units that I have and others are seeing on ebay do not have a pulse functionality as it lacks the totalizer functionality. The SM6004 unit outputs flow rate and temp only. I have the simple hall effect flow meters installed for totalizing functionality but I wanted a more accurate...

Yep, that works. I do like having a zero and span adjustment to fine tune stuff if need be but that is just personal preference.

That is a judgement call. The wetted parts are SS 316L and PEEK. SS is easy cleaned and passivated and PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a polymer that has great properties as it relates to chemical resistance, mechanical strength, etc. and can also be cleaned quite well. So at least the...

Well, you need to be sure that the FM meets your needs for measuring flow (range) and I would make sure to get a unit that includes the mounting adapters. The flow meter has a G 1/2 coupling (BSPP...British Standard Pipe Parallel thread) and you are likely to want the adapter that goes from...

Price is going to vary. I got mine off of ebay for $130, so that is why not :). They are also super compact, easy to program with the local display, they also have a common 4-wire M12 connector. Don't get me wrong, mass flow meters are my choice at work as I work with DI & WFI and mag meters...

I must say that the IFM SM6004 sensor, while having a few limitations, provides very accurate flow measurement. https://www.ifm.com/us/en/product/SM6004 Yes it is limited to 80 C and 6.6 gpm but the temp limit is only limiting the bonus temp output as it is really a flow meter and the 6.6 gpm...

...damn

Would it be possible to post the code you used to drive the MEGA and the LCD display?

Thanks BrunDog. I often find inspiration in others projects so I thought I would give back a bit. To that, this is the line voltage (50 amp) enclosure that is handling control for the two heating elements, power switching, contactors, breakers, and the remote control box with the e-stop and an...

I have now fully installed my "D7 jumper" modified RobotDyn MEGA 2560 controller in my enclosure and it is currently working 100% as expected. Ethernet functions, it gets an IP and is connected to my BruControl HMI in a very stable fashion, the RP-3 RTD board is connected and delivering temp...

I would say it is for the W5500 chip as well and no the pin7/3.3v mod is not needed if you do the D7 solder jumper removal.

Some initial testing shows that if you remove the solder jumper on the bottom of the board, the ethernet section indeed powers up and starts working. This was tested with v44A.MEGA.E and .ER firmwares. I haven't tested anything else so far.

OK I am having another issue with ethernet (again, I know). I just got to hooking up my RP-3 interface and when I wire it as I believe I am supposed to, I lose connectivity via ethernet. From what I can gather, SCK, SDO and SDI connections on the RP-3 are wired to PINs 52, 50, and 51...

It's really no big deal and I appreciate your help in looking into the problem all this time. Whatever the issue, I assume it is related to something I did along the way so there is no need to refund me anything. Really, it wasn't defective when it came from you (for a short period way back...

Unfortunately not. That didn't work at all with the BC firmware, regardless if the screw shield was installed or not. It is my running theory that the firmware is not turning the W5500 chip on but I have no idea if that is the reason or not. Example sketches work but might require some...
