    Mill Motors

    Re Split pins I use lengths of stainless steel welding wire. Cheap as to replace. Have broken 4 or 5 but never anything else. I could go to a larger diameter wire or change to hardened steel but the whole point is for it to sheer? James Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi Ken You are getting excellent assistance from some of the guys here but another thing that may come into play is the position of your temp probe. There is setting for internal and external and pump in boil etc and PID settings. All these will affect the way your system operates. The recent...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi Jabbos The wiring is probably OK but the use of 2 same coloured wires makes it confusing. Should use different colour for + and -. You do not need both SSRs. I would program the new arduino mega just using the USB to power it. Then if you can measure the voltage on the plug from power...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi Arduinos are amazing but even the experts blow them up. I have 2 dead R3 s and now a dead mega as well. Plugged the mega in backwards when tired and does not work any more. I think it sounds like the Arduino is shot. I would also say that the recent code I think still runs in the cheaper...

    Mill Motors

    My mill will start with a hopper full of grain but have to crank up the speed knob and then turn it back down. But if i have it running and add grain it gust chews threw it like it was on a picnic. James Wheat gives it a work out though Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Multi-Chamber Arduino Brewpi

    Howdy gentlemen I have brewpi running on Arduino via BT using the HC05 board and talking to a Raspberry Pi running Wheezy. I did briefly run a second brewpi based on an Arduino nano over BT to same Raspberrypi Was stable as a rock in old drinks fridge. Temp control is unbelievable. Getting...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi Brauduino builders. Well I have put a small SSR in to one of my controllers to drive the pump. This does require some soldering skills and a solder sucker or solder wick so not for the non electronics folk. It does give the option to take the 240 away from the PCB but I have actually left...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi Tzoon A thought about your heater issue. You need to run setup and choose electric instead of Gas for the heater source for the arduino to switch the pin that drives the SŚRs? James Zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi Tzoon I can not see an earth on the SSRs / heatsink? As far as the fault. At any time has the 12v been connected backwards? If you unplug the SSRs does the load turn off? If it turns off then the SSRs are ok. It may be the transistors. But the LEDs word so ? I think there was some wrong...

    Hey Barneey Looking good The Grainfather and brauduino make a cool setup. That new one from KK is not bad but needs a few options to make it as nice. Zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi Tzoon Some questions Note these tests can be done with no heaters or pumps etc connected. But the board must be run from the 12 volts not the USB. Do not plug the pump connection to the PCB as that would put 240v on the PCB and may be a little dangerous. Do the LEDs on the SSRs themselves...

    Hi Vortex I have the Chronical 7 but the ball valves came apart easily, I just never put them back together as purchased butterfly valves from USA and other sanitary fittings from China. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi Bunglebear The linking of the neutrals is a bad idea as has been stated. If you live in a house with only one phase and you do not have individual ELCBs / safety switches and if everything is wired up correctly THEN maybe it would all work fine. BUT the whole reason behind the second power...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Hi real beer I would not use those in high current connections. They are usually for low current applications. Not saying no but make sure the connections are up to the job. Really the element connections should be short and well connected. James Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
