Open ArdBir - definitive BIAB/RIMS controller arduino based

I do not understand where you want to fill your address? At github?

terragady.com is not my website and I have nothing to do with it, the guy is just selling my design and I have completely no profit from it - sad.

ArdBir board is double sided, and there should be gerber files for it.

Hi terragady,
there is no Gerber files about ArdBir at github.

Hello, i have a problem with my ardbir. When i connect the bs18b20 sensor to the board the temperature displayed is 87 °C and is not decreasing or increasing. Also, the heater control for the SSR isn't working, but as soon as the sensor is removed the heater control is working. What is the problem? Can be the sensor's fault? I don't have another to test, i need to order some.

It was the sensor's fault, a new one solved the problem.

Need help!! I am trying etch Daniel Xan PCB at home.. but i am not sure how to print it in actual size.. Can someone help me with the pdf to print it directly..

 

[bionut]

One of these. I can't remember why i made two...
For about 15-20 $ you can have 10 PCB made proffesionaly by jlcpcb.com or pcbway.com. That't the route i took and i am glad i did. You won't believe how easy is to solder a board with a soldermask View attachment 590623View attachment OpnArdBir.pdf

On the print page you should just click scale 100%

Thanks....

I tried my hands on etching a PCB results were not encouraging so had to fall back on professionals.. Do a local guy who will get the job done for $30 for 25 PCB board with masking.

Now question: what type of material should be used for PCB for this project... How does it impact?

Metal, FR-4 or PTFE (Teflon).. If other?

 

[BrunDog]

FR-4 is standard fiberglass, and should be the best/least $

Finally was able to create controller and with very first attempt...

Now will work on fabricating the system.

Cheers!!!

Few queries:

1) I am planning to install 2000w heating element for my 5gallon (20L) system would that be enough? I feel with start water temp in India around 30°C this should hit 100°C in 30 mins..

2) How many amp of SSR should i use for the heating element... 15amps?

3) What should be the Amps of 12v DC power supply?

Anyone familiar with GTO Ardbir boards? Do I have to used on-board relay switch? I hear onboard relay click, but it doesn't activate pump SSR.
