Oddly enough my shield had a MAC address sticker on the back so I used that. I assumed it was valid but I need to check that. Of course now I can't get Termite to respond anymore.... Update: Finally got Termite to respond after too many to count iterations and flashes but even with a MAC...

Well I had some success. I powered down, pulled the ethernet shield and connected back to the controller. Termite was still unresponsive. Flashed over to the serial firmware and like before, Termite returned a quick response. Then I flashed back to "ER" and Termite was still unresponsive...

Sadly, the brand new MEGA 2560 is showing the same problem. Termite simply provides no return once any command is sent over, even though the controller flashes the communication light showing the command was received. Flashing, as always, works fine but networking setup fails. As network...

I could send my board back if you like and I could use the packaging from the new board I'm about to get. I may not be able to do so however until I return from some business out of town next week. So a delay of about 1.5 weeks I'm afraid.

I've had Com 3 and Com 8 so far with no difference between them.

Thanks. This should just "work" and it is super simple (hence the frustration part). I'll have the new one soon and I'll give it another go. Thanks for your help.

Actually if you check the .ini file for the termite program, you will see that it has a field for history that is used when the program loads and it is populated with %0&15; so the arrow trick works the first time as well.

Well I could do that but I kind of need to be able to make changes to the network settings in the future without sending the controller back and it might cost just as much to send it back as it would to get a new one from Amazon. Is this an appropriate item if I was to decide to just get a new...

Yes I did get the MEGA 2560 from you (as well as the ethernet shield, screw shield, etc.). I am following the instructions in the manual and have had success with flashing and setting up the networking in the past. That being said, once it stopped responding, it has been unresponsive in the...

I gave it a try and no difference. I flashed the MEGA 2560, power cycled the board, went into network setup and termite still has no response with a ; instruction after 2-3 minutes. Update: ...or after several hours. It just sits there.

That is exactly what I am seeing on the MEGA 2560 v43 "ER" firmware as well.

I will play with it a bit more, give it more time and go from there. There is a confirmed link status on the shield and the switch it is connected to. There is activity indicated but after a while it goes to a pattern that indicates no data is being transfer (this is due to the shield being...

I can comment on my scenario which is with the MEGA 2560, with ethernet and RTD. The setup process involves running the "InterfaceSetup.bat" that is part of the BruControl firmware (v43). This opens the command window where you can install the firmware or proceed to network setup or exit...

phreaky said: ↑ "So, I used the install tool to configure the network, but still no dice. It flashes the firmware and looks good, but when trying to config the network it just doesn't want to talk any more. Entering the %0&15; command produces no response from the ESP. Just to make sure I wasn't...

I did just come across that style of board and it does look like it would work. I will look into it more. Thanks.

Indeed analog would be easy but I currently am struggling to find a solution with an analog output (at least I think I am struggling with this but perhaps I am not seeing a potential solution properly). For a bit more clarity, I am using four load cells and using a wheatstone bridge...

Quick question. I want to interface a load cell into my brucontrol mega via a sparkfun HX711 load cell amplifier. This certainly can be done with the mega but I am not sure about it in the context of the brucontrol software and firmware however. I want to track weight changes during brewing...

Yes indeed. You will also often times find pH storage solution called KCl (as in Potassium Chloride) as well, typically 4 M. In a pinch it is OK to storge it pH calibration solution (4 is best) but never store it in RO/DI water or ethanol solutions. If you leave it dry, it will dry out the...

Hey BrunDog. Could you shed some light on how the BruControl firmware handles pH temp compensation with that Atlas pH sensor/stamp transmitter? I see the Atlas "stamp" does temp comp but I am not sure how it gets done without a temp sensor input on the board in this setup. I see the commands...

Oh, well that was easy :) So procuring a sensor that sends info over to the Adruino via I2C is something the general BruControl pool of users should feel free to consider as an option that could be available in v1.1?
