Hi all
I've not been brewing for a long while, but finally getting back into it. Main reason i stopped was because my controller died.
Thus i need to recreate one. I've been looking at options for purchasing one off the shelf. This is preferred over building another. But i've noticed that the rasberry pi or BrewPI build's don't look as complicated (at least from a hardware perspective).
That said, i've not been able to find any complete system diagrams. By this i mean whole (control) system, SSR's, power in (i.e. 30A 240V), pumps, etc etc. All I've found so far is the final automation diagrams, i.e. how to wire the BrewPI.
As i am doing a complete build I'm keen to understand this so i can decided if it's worth going down that path. It's quite tempting as it offers significant potential, and may even be cheaper as a PID control box replacement is around $1300.
Appreciate any advice. Would be happy to just have a link to a full system design.
Cheers
