hi everyone, Some cosmetic questions... I would like to print the last value of my counter "Total Brew Timer" which would show me the total time of my brew day like this: The script above is working fine, and I get a result like this: Is it possible to have a control over the time (and...

Several weeks ago, I upgraded BC to build 18 then soon after to 19. All works as expected, did brew in between, all was great. After checking my "Data" folder and I found 2 additional DB files Data_Log-brucontrol.ldf and mdf. (pic below). I really don't know why I have them and if they appeared...

No problem, glad I could be of little help. Please check also interface wiring maps, they are important for mapping: https://brucontrol.com/build/interface-wiring-maps/ https://brucontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/BruControl-Interface-Wiring-Map-Arduino-MEGA-2560-v1.1-FW-v45E.pdf...

Hi, I switched from CBPI to Brucontrol. :) Yes you'd need to use Arudino instead of Raspberry Pi. (can be any ESP32 if you have smaller setup, Mega is most versatile), for uploading arudino firmware PC is needed. But that step is not so complex nor frequent -> you just need to follow...

Brundog confirmed to me both bugs and wrote that they will be fixed.

I'd like to use iSpindel data recorded by BC and import it in Beersmith for the specific brew. Is there an easier way to find out which of the CSV files corresponds to the device/global element, or I have to click through all files until I find it ? Furthermore, do you think export button from...

I am reading what you wrote, I am just not sure that we are on the same page. If I open once DE, after closing it , I can't open it again, ever (unless I restart BC). Nothing to do with lock IMHO (as I originally thought). It won't help to (me to) close it every time, because there is nothing...

Ok :) Thanks I almost killed my windows :-D. Bc I couldn't repro it on a fresh VM.

I have a problem starting data explorer. With version 16 I could start it and close it anytime. (tested it again). Now with 17, data explorer cannot be started once I close it with "X". If I restart whole BC, then I can start it again. Anyone with the same issue? EDIT: link with the video...

I have used Paint Net , it's free program quite powerful. You can do it: - Use for example the Magic Wand + some selection tools to add /remove white areas and then delete. (image has to be PNG for BC) - or search the tutorials for things relating to Alpha Masking. Results are the best like...

Thank you. I found an impeller image somewhere from the web, converted it to have a transparent background and that was my image 1. Then I rotated it 33.3 deg and saved it =image 2 , again 33.3 and saved it= image3. Global element is called "pump rotation" and it has these images configured...

@BrunDog thanks for the newest release, significant step forward. I really like line number when you receive error or exception :), and data explorer is great addon helps a lot! BTW. I created a video showing & demoing what BruControl can do and how I implemented my dashboard. Of course...

Question to break the silence. :) Would you clean all variables at the end of the script with "clean"? What's the recommendation?

ok guys thanks, so where is the link ? thanks

I tested other outputs with the same result. If I use low active board + ULN2803a (which makes it active positive with 1.5 mA current) ssue is away. I am changing board anyway. Thanks a lot for help.

Yes problematic board was active low type. I just measured and the Relay board is using 4mA to activate relays. The problem went away when: 1) I disconnected board fully or 2) (strange one) I removed digital output from my "alarm device" and the board is still connected (digital output which...

update on this topic, it's power drain issue : It looks like I have a problem with somewhat older relay board drawing too much current from MEGA when activating the relays. It was hard to discover as even if I start all 8 relays, and all devices in the same time - MEGA would be OK. But turning...

FYI: An update on the topic. This company from Ali informed me, that they can deliver only G1/2" and minimum 10kPa (higher values possible) with flat sanitary membrane, including 0-5V output. So far I can only find 5kPa/6kPa transducer with a small hole. Flat membrane transducers with high...

I could almost swear that it worked before. Now not sure anymore your comments make sense. Funny enough, I had it in my tested scripts. 😊

I am suspecting that my previous problem with "killing MEGA" is with multiple wait commands in multiple scripts (not sure yet), so I tried to replace some wait commands with loops adding possibility to skip the loop with a button. But I encountered an error... EDIT: I changed my code several...
