    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hi @BrunDog I am using wifi shield over Arduino Mega. I was going through FW46 config steps, I just realized that my wiring map is set to default instead of to Wi-Fi for a long time. However, I didn't notice any issues the past year using it like that. If I try to correct it and change it now...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Thanks for the great work. I briefly looked at the document, just be sure on a high level of what needs to be done: 1) collect all the information /details about analog ports that need to be changed. Make a visual backup. Make all other backups. 2) edit cfg file and change _only_ the wiring...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    There are lot of articles and theories :) this is what I used: " Very simple PID settings are all that is required. I would start around a Kp of 30, see where that gets you. If you have steady state error - i.e. you stabilize at some temperature less than your set point, increase Ki from 0 up...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    RiverCityBrewer gave you the best info. Just confirming I had the same issue.... on the mechanical relays and on motors/pumps. I used: Prevent Relay Arcing using RC Snubber Circuits - Homemade Circuit Projects, and you can find example calculation here: Help a newbie pls! RC snubber values for...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    hi everyone, @BrunDog first just to say this is the best software investment I did in 2020/21 and so far BC works great for me. I am a huge fan :cool: May I ask if there is something I can do to further support future BC development @BrunDog please let me/us know how? Q: If I have only...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Sep 23, 2020 Just in case someone finds it useful, when upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2 beta [SNIP] It seems I can get trough last step when it's starting VSS services. That times out, service is not started and installation is rolled back. I know it looks pretty stupid, but my admin account has...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    No evil intention with this post. But I think we had an exchange regarding the same issue in private messages on 23.Sept.2020. It's amazing that you are able to cope with all the issues and posts(questions) people are asking. @BrunDog. Thank you for that! Whatever is the best solution, should...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    hi, just asking if there is any update / near future plans for better logging control? I have tons of global and huge db :) Maybe if it would be possible to disable logging for the whole workspace ?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    @BrunDog sorry if I am harassing you. Would it it be possible try again to integrate brucontrol into ispindel? Or maybe publish just a firmware version 7+ for us? Thank you

    @BrunDog I just checked iSpindel: Enable BruControl by BrunDog · Pull Request #428 · universam1/iSpindel is there anything you could do? The topic is marked as stale..

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I love sonoff too. I have them for several years and they are amazingly stable. However, I used with original FW so far. I am guessing you would be using them for brewing with BC and custom FW? :-) Was that the idea?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hi, If you are using Mega 2560 rev3, max output per single I/O is 20mA (there is some documentation claiming it is 40mA), so you should be fine. Some of the relay boards I am using with optoisolators don't draw more than 5mA per I/O. Sometime eventhough 15/20mA is marked, boards are more...
