I added this to mathos original code and thats what I am using currently. I just did a brew with it on the weekend and it was good. not 1 bad read. Here is the code.

correct me if im wrong, but how the arduino works is it constantly cycles through the code. when introducing a delay, it affects the whole thing. When I had the 1 sec delay in the code, it made everything slow. it even made it slow to update the temp settings when I pushed the up arrow during a...

hey mathos, thanks for the tip! it happens rarely now, but its when it does its a pain, so ill do that. I am using the code with the crc check and it is working really good now. the only thing that is weird is that it gets to the mash in temp, the timer starts right away, then after the mash in...

here is how i wired it..

ok I found the problem. I had the data and ground wires the wrong way... its suprising that it actually worked with them wrong.

I think the pid settings are good. the flicking on and off of the pump/heater is too sporadic to be the pid. i have done some reading and it seems that the ds18b20 takes 750ms to do the read. I have the version that matho posted of the code that waits 3 seconds after a read at or above the set...

Hey guys, I too have made a brauduino from all the awesome info on the site. I also have the exact same issues as Cosmic Bertie. I suspect there is a lot of bad reads from the temp sensor because I can see the red light and "current temperature" contantly flickering and the "mash in" timer...
