    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    @oakbarn noted...I'll certainly implement this sort of naming convention to keep everything straight and easy to locate...I have seen lots of other people's scripts in this forum and was always perplexed at the cryptic names people used...now it makes sense :)

    @CDCTx it is playing nice. It was literally my first script...just trying to open a few valves ,run the pump for a few seconds to avoid cavitation, and shut everything back down...and of course I broke it. Thanks for the advice on everything so far...I'm sure I'll be back.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    @CDCTx lol, I see why you say that now...I thought I needed start/stop for the script itself...now I see that start/stop are specific to Timers (RTFM) :) Updated script: [Prime_Pump_1] print = "Starting Pump_1 prime cycle." "Valve_11" State = on sleep 4000 "Pump_1" State = on "Valve_14" State...

    @oakbarn @CDCTx , you guys rock, thanks. While I'm back online...(I turned off the autostart for the script)...I can't figure out why this script isn't running: [Prime_Pump_1] start "Prime_Pump_1" print = "Starting Pump_1 prime cycle." "Valve_11" State = on sleep 4000 "Pump_1" State = on...

    @CDCTx I'll probably take your second suggestion and look through the config to remove the broken script (or add the delay like you mentioned). I'm on a Windows host with a default install of Brucontrol...where are the configs saved? I have hidden files turned on and don't any cfg files...just...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hey all...started getting my feet wet with scripting last night and of course I've immediately hosed myself by endlessly looping an auto-starting script. This has led to my Brucontrol application freezing and becoming unresponsive which requires me to kill it with Task Manager...similar to what...

    Nice. I just put one on order and I'll get it wired up for some tests next week.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Anyone have experience successfully using "US Solid" 2 way valves (2-wire auto-close) (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WWPZWGZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) with the Uniflex? If so, would you be willing to share a wiring diagram? I have a few new use cases that I may want to use...

    [Update] After swapping out the ESP32 board with a known good, I'm back in action. I haven't done any diagnostics on the old board yet, but at least I'm back online.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hey All, interested to see if anyone has encountered a situation where their Uniflex v2 (with nothing plugged in) does not default to "access point mode" when powered on? Notes: No 3.5mm jacks plugged in No I/O plugged in No 120v/240v plugged in Confirmed power is on (bluelight and fans...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Alright...I've bench tested all of the valves and they're in good shape. Now I have a UniShield noobie question. I want to control these valves with the UniShield. Given that each valve has 3 wires (Open[Green], Close[Red], and PWR[Black]) what does the physical wiring look like? I know that...

    Thanks again @RiverCityBrewer, 2-way valves (KLD20S) are operating as expected:

    Awesome, thank you for the advice. I'll report back results here when I complete some tests.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Thanks @RiverCityBrewer that makes sense for the Motorized 2-way valves, but for the pressure sensor (pins: 3(signal), 2(GND), 1(VCC)) I don't imagine this approach would provide any useful output. Also, I have two proportional valves[not yet wired] (pins: 4(Feedback), 3(Control), 2(GND)...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Build update: Started extending and terminating the the sensors and valves. I'm adding about 10/11 feet of 22/4 shielded security cable to each sensor and valve. The cable terminations are microphone cable connectors and I'm adding a braided sleeve (blue - valve)(red - sensor). I'll...

    Curious...is anyone on here using BrewPi for valve control? Github: Brew Pi Valve Control

    After many, many moons...the long awaited Uniflex is in the brewhouse and the build can begin. The last few days have been dedicated to installing DIN rail wiring blocks and wire raceways.

    Thank you for the helpful info. My valves are 24VDC (3wire)...not sure on polarity (will need to check this). From your reply it sounds like I can "extend" the I/O capacity of the Uniflex (to accomodate my valves and sensors) by integrating a Mega 2560.

    @BrunDog I'd like to purchase your uniflex 30A product, but am unsure that it will suit my needs. My brewery has 20 KLD20 (2way) motorized valves, 1 PSF-20 volume sensor, and 2 Onewire temp probes. It looks like from your spec sheet that the Uniflex only supports up to 12 I/O. Is there a...

    Will do. I've got an active fermentation at the moment, but I'll put it on Road Map for brewery updates/upgrades. Thanks!
