    Sorry if I missed it , was there any implementation done in regards SQL db data retention? I have no intermediate issue, just seen that mdf grows quite fast.

    @BrunDog thx for future improvements. Is there a way to check if script is running? "Started/stopped/paused"

    Thx. Switch doesn't work the same. I think can't use them, as I would have to manually flip them back. And how would u use global as a button? I would like to click on a button and execute a script.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I'd like to set an image for a button in UI. For example image for arrow up and arrow down down instead of the text "Pump Up" and "Down". If I load background image1, it appears behind the text: I couldn't find the way to show the image instead of text. Whatever I try image stays behind almost...

    Anyone knows how to extend scripting window in 1.1.9 ? If I hover with my mouse over the top scripting line, it wont change and allow me to move it. It worked in 1.1.4 version. Video

    Here is from where I am coming from. Mort from the group gave me following hints below when I started and I totally think they are valid and make sense. Please not that - I am mostly focused on PID usage. If you are not there, please disregard my post. I started using NTC because it is...

    I am following this, although I decided to switch to NTC, still keeping RTD connected. :) Note: I am not an expert,below is only from my experience and sorry if I am jumping here in with superfluous info. I have experience with cheap RTD100 and purple boards. Just my 2 cents to the topic...

    I am using 11.45V to supply MEGA over DC power jack. Input voltage is declared as 7 - 12V on arduno site. What's your experience ? Shell I lower the voltage even more ?

    That would be great ! Totally fine with me. If you can make it, I can get rid of my raspi server. Basically, fw on iSpindel is sending angle, temperature and battery state. It has configuration for WiFi and server address then token (if needed), protocol and frequency of samples. (typically...

    Hi, this tip worked for device elements. That's great, I improved some of the critical scripts already. I should have looked documentation :) .Thx. However "Connected" is not a valid operator for the interface. (as you probably already know) Hmm....I could test several elements for connection...

    2nd time with brucontrol was also perfect. I like perfect and easy brew days ;-). This time also small batch in order to test my equipment. Some more pictures as promised. Another day, another lesson learned. Adopted scirpts a bits but nothing major. I use automation for strike water and for...

    made only one, just at the beginning. Kids were not giving me a break .... 🙃 . This time was more about system settings and parameters. I used RIMS first time in life and it was beautiful :-D. Everything on the picture is kind of new to me. Now I've got enough data to adjust beersmith and...

    @RiverCityBrewer I couldn't repro the issue. My gear is running all the time without problems. Mega is not rebooting at all, never did. Good point about devices, but it's not that. I ran full cycle 2x after that and haven't found any issues. And thanks a zillion for the tip about alarm- My...

    I just have upgraded to beta 1.1.9 (beta 1.2). For me it wasn't straightforward, as I couldn't make installation of SQL 2019 LocalDB running. It wouldn't start service at the end of the installation called VSS. My workaround was to install full version of SQL express together with LocalDB...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    thanks. Your explanation make sense totally, But why is code in this example below executed only once ? Command 1 and 2 ("Alarm 1.....) will be executed but then it seems , script will be paused indefinitely at "sleep 500" . So no changes are visible after sleep. Only ones background...
