    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    @BrunDog and all During the tests today (45O version of FW + build 15), I was able to "kill" MEGA so it wouldn't respond anymore. I don't think it's EMI this time. As this was dry run. I have a script which I start during the strike step (or mashing) which is monitoring flow rate trough RIMS...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Thanks to @crane @CDCTx @BrunDog. If you don't want to risk it, I'd say best is to order it from BC site, however, that one didn't fit my needs as I'm not using tri clamp system, and shipping , customs would be too much for my tight balcony brewer budget. If anyone is interested I found a...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    oh darn, so now another parameter - it should be without a small hole. Excellent point, thanks. I didn't think about that. Sadly, I don't use tri clamps, the sensor for my setup has to have like 1/8-1/4-1/2" screw. Ideally should have 5v power supply and should be able to opearate on 80C (but...

    Thank you, Do you think temperature tolerance could be a problem ? It can measure (with compensation) until 70C. I could live with measuring wort at 70, but would it survive boil ?

    Thank you. I need a sensor to measure wort level in my kettle which is 19.5in in diameter and19.in high. As per calculations ca 20in of water will produce 5 kPa. And my maximum brew is around 15.5in of wort (20 gal aprox).

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Any suggestions for a pressure transducer sensor of max 5 kPa (0.725 psi) - for liquid level ? I just figured out with @BrunDog support that 30 psi I currently have is way too much for 100l boil kettle. Digikey has several matching my setup, but they are kind of expensive...

    Happy New Year everyone. I am planning to do a calibration pressure sensor over the weekend and have a question about a calibration tool (Resources – BruControl) 1) It says: "enter system values" this means - > numbers in yellow below are the only one to be adjusted and "Sample data" table is...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I've seen some issues reported after the upgrade ( O v45 W) and in regard to connectivity over Wi-Fi. It's a long shot but still wanted to report following: Yesterday I have upgraded Mega to 45 O and couldn't see the interface connecting to BC. After quick troubleshooting, I noticed that my...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Thank you, your finding saved my day. :) Just to report that FW for MEGA - 45 O (W) doesn't work with BC1.1.0.9 at least not for digital inputs. They are shown as "- - - -" and they cannot be turned on and off. Upgrade to version 1.1.0.15 is a must, at least to my knowledge. BC1.1.0.9 and FW...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    @purdman10, you are not alone :). I dislike those kind of installations on Windows, as I wanted it side by side running with my BruControl... In my view, this one is not straightforward and there are tons of different versions and dependencies which are nightmare for beginners like me. Node JS...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Coming from CBPI3 world here, so what comes to my mind as inexpensive and simple: - One wire for sure - headers for MAX board amplifier. 2 or 3, not the full boards, 4 might be overkill. - Power supply 12 with DC-DC- Input 12V, output 5 and 24 - 2 channel Relays 10A - 8 channel driver like...
