Are you going to share the interface? How difficult was it to make?

Yes, it will be coming out, but I've not been able to work on it much lately. I have 2 other people doing additional testing on their systems and I'll be doing some more changes based on feedback.
As far as difficulty, well I guess that depends on your coding skills. It's not a simple app at all.
This could make you a very rich man. I'd be interested. Smart and rich a good combination.

Looks great, I can't wait to read up n it.

The interface is being used by several people right now. It still needs more work before it's ready for public consumption.

JonW - thanks for really thinking out of the box your an inspiration.
Will the new hmi show when you share your brew day through the bcs?

What ever came of this JonW? You were really on to something...

Couple of things happened with this.... Mainly, the basic layout has been incorporated into the BCS as the new 4.0 interface. The BCS is now much faster, responsive and easier to use with this interface. You can see some early screen shots here: http://forum.embeddedcc.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2365 . Pretty easy to see the resemblance. I've been running alpha releases since early this year on my system.
I'm getting ready to update those screen shots as there will probably be a public release of the new version in the next week or so.
The other thing that happened was that the 4.0 version has added a completely new API. I'll need to rewrite all the comm routines to use this. However, I'm going to wait on that until the design of the new BCS custom HMI is finished. (The first release of the new 4.0 version will not include a custom HMI feature.) Since the new web interface is so responsive, I may drop this project altogether if the new HMI gets me where I want to be.

Thanks for the update... Very interesting. I'll try to more closely monitor the ECC board for the 4.0 release.

Looking forward to the new software. 4.0 looks like a major improvement to the BCS. Great job

Resurrecting an old thread here!
I previously shelved this project when the new BCS roadmap was set to incorporate my basic app layout into the BCS as the new default UI. However, I've now decided that I will still continue development of this interface and will be adding many new features to it. I have just recently switched it to use the new BCS 4.0 API, so all the basic functionality is there and available to use right away. The future 1.0.0 release will have most of the new features in it, but I may add some tweaks to this pre-release version if there is a consistent issue that multiple people are dealing with.
I would like to keep all feature requests and support over on the ECC/BCS forum, so please use that location. Basic comments here are fine though.

Bumping this up for those that were interested in getting a copy of the program.
It is available for download at the BCS / ECC forum.

FYI - The current version of BCS-Desktop is now running on both Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu Linux. Mac OSX will be tested soon. I hope to release this version in the next week or two to support these additional platforms. After that, the next major release will be the multi-unit (multi-BCS) version that will also support more customization options.
