    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Buy thread

    It is about a kit to build an electronic circuit that makes up the main part of a controller for a single vessel brewing system (think braumeister). If you click on the "the brauduino project" link in my sig it has the manuals that I put together to make a controller. The kit make up the...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Buy thread

    This all started when I started a thread about my braumiester inspired build, I created a control box for it using a PIC. Mastersbrewery started a thread asking me to make the controller for people, now I wasn't going to make up a whole lot of controllers for a number of reasons but I did...

    Matho's controller

    Hey Breakbeer, I have been looking into the problem you have been having, unfortunately I have misplaced my temp sensor lead for my unit so I couldn't test it out but I have changed the code so the temperature needs to be at or above the set temperature for over 3 seconds before it starts to...

    I was just reviewing the gerber files and noticed an error, I have deleted the zip but for those that have downloaded it please don't use it as there is no ground connection between the pump transistor emitter and GND and there is a short between the pump transistor collector and GND. I have...

    to try and reduce the interference caused by switching a AC pump, it seems that the EMI produced by switching was scrambling the LCD screen. the extra parts are a 100nF metallised Polypropylene Capacitor and a 100 ohm 1/2 w resistor cheers steve

    for those who are making up new boards I have changed the PCB to include RC snubber circuit across the relay contacts and have moved the LEDS so the you won't need to solder leads on them Seeed studio has changed the way you order PCB's, you used to have to get an order number and put that...

    Matho's controller

    sounds like you got the pump active connected to the wrong side of the SSR, going off the last page of the build PDF http://aussiehomebrewer.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=54981. from the 240 in plug you should have one wire going to the SSR...

    Matho's controller

    there shouldn't be a problem with the amount of time it takes to reach the set temperature, as I said it could be a problem with the ds18b20 read, one wrong read above the set temp will start the timer counting down, I have never experienced a wrong read but a guy in the US did but it ended up...

    yeah I suppose I could have made it do that but it was easier just to treat it as a stage, gives you one more thing to play with cheers steve

    Matho's controller

    that is not right, either it was a glich with the ds18b20 probe read or there is something I'm missing in the code. I might give it a go on my unit to see what I get, could you give me your stage temps and times and I'll fire up my unit and see. As for the window size you can extend it if you...

    hey Paul, its in the pump rest function void pump_rest (int stage) { if (stage==9){ pumpRest = false; if (Temp_c<94.0) digitalWrite(Pump,HIGH); else digitalWrite(Pump,LOW); if (Temp_c >= 95)tempReached = true; } else{ pumptempError = stageTemp-Temp_c; if...

    Need help with Arduino + Rotary encoder

    looks simular to this one http://littlebirdelectronics.com/products/rotary-encoders-illuminated. the examples shown uses a lookup table to represent the 8 possible state changes that can happen. maybe try something like that \ cheers steve
