Great work! Nice to hear it was simple :)

Hi freelander, Spent most of Saturday testing the boards. Last night packaging them. I won't be able to make it to the post office this afternoon. Tomorrow looks likely :)

Oh, it could be simple. Has the led ever turned on? You might have it the wrong way around. The tabs on the led header should be facing the LCD.

Hi breakbeer, The libraries just need to be downloaded from the link and copied into the libraries folder in program files(x86)>>arduino. Just pause the video as it goes and do one step at a time. For the heat - check that the set point is above the measured temp and that the heat led is...

So I called Mitch this morning to chat about this, Mitch was really helpful - here's what we talked about (Mitch feel free to correct / clarify anything). 1. Induced voltage generally occurs when you have two sets of cables running parallel - one with high(er) AC voltage. This will induce a...

nearly all of the submersible pumps I saw were rated either at 30 or 35C (that were a reasonable price), including fountain pumps etc. I've run mine up to around 50/60 with no ill effects so far... The pump itself tends to heat up the water over time - which is what is supposed to happen, but...

I got one that is very similar to: https://www.masters.com.au/product/101135924/universal-submersible-dirty-water-pump-750w my post is here: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/87682-keg-and-bottle-cleaner/ the pump works very very well. I got a great price on the pump on clearance at Aldi. If...

Personally I would be happier with that. 0.5 over in a mash step is not really going to have that much of an impact compared to sitting at 10mins under target. You could increase the sample time or KD would be my next experiment - prob KD to 4 first and sampletime to 4500.

This isn't true. The element is a resistive load vs an inductive load which has a different pattern for drawing current. The combination of switching 240v for a motor/pump through a relay on the board causes chatter/arcing which creates the scrambling. SSRs provide isolation between the AC and...

Hey Tate, The issue is when people don't organise their wiring well. There's been two reports from almost a hundred kits sent out(unsure how many have been built at this point). I wouldn't worry about it.

Lol, yeah, that's what my reaction was too :)

Have you turned it off and on again?

this is proving a little more elusive than I first thought. You might need to enjoy watching 0.5 temp changes for hours on end for a little while longer ;)

Yep, I agree, and am happy with 0.5 accuracy. It is nice to see the temp change faster though :)

An update on the 0.5 resolution on the temp probe. I'll post a video showing how to change it to .25 resolution tonight.

I did some playing with this this morning. It looks like the temp probes that I'm providing with the kits are set to a resolution of 9bits. I'll post a video showing how to change it to 10 tonight ( will show .25 degree increments) Essentially for the impatient or more savvy, download the...

Just be aware that the Neutriks are not as good. They have an open back rather than a fully sealed back and from memory are rated to 15A. I'm happy to supply spares if anyone wants them - just PM me.

All the time. I didn't want to change the plug on the OTS element, so my aux heat goes from the heater to an extension cord with a female socket on the end. Just one of the cheap 3m $3 ones from bunnings.

To be honest Max, I don't even think that 0.5 increments are a big problem. I think for most people it is something that would be nice. I think mainly because it shows the heating changing faster. I confirmed last night it is the probes. One temp probe I stuck in went up by .25, the other up...

Hi max, I thought the max resolution was in the probe and you can read a lower resolution using software? So the natural resolution of the ardbir software is normally 0.25?
