Hi LesPaul I detest the use of blue and green representing active, why not use grey, purple, orange etc! The blue "wire" is the better alternative. I do not have more than 2 wires in any of the crimp terminals. Zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hi Barnsey Yes can run both pumps of the one pump output. With regards to the order of the connections for the active and neutral when daisy chaining. Must connect 20amp cable direct from socket in to SSR and SSR out to socket out. Do not daisy chain the 20amp through the relay connection or...

Hey Lepaul What SBOB said The signal side of the SSRs from the PCB is milli amps. So bugger all and any small cable will do. For the power feed to the power supply also very little current. I used 7.5Amp odd 240 v figure 8 and is over kill For the power to and back from the relay for the...

Great work Lael !!! OK a bit of self promotion in there too. I noticed one error in what I said but is a technical error of nomenclature. And yes they are my chickens in the background learning how to wire the Brauduino! Actually they love the Malt ex mash..... zwitter

Hi Tassiehopper The required fan is a 70mm version at 12v Can be found on ebay etc. Zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hi brauduino brewers ArdBir 2.8.3RC8 heater problems. There are no issues with this revision. The problem AFAIK is that you have not run setup and entered correct values. I just uploaded mine and it would not heat (as expected) Then went into setup and guess what set for GAS heating! ( i bet...

Wire and crimp,sizing Wire is the area of the copper conductor. Calculated by calulating the area of a single strand and multiplying by the number of strands. And yes they make 4mm 6mm 10mm etc. average house main wires to the street are 16mm. Crimp terminals are measured by the width of the...

Hi Judge (Sorry SBOB) The Arduino Mega is basically a computer on a single board. It has a processor, memory for program and inputs and outputs. This is where we load the ArdBir software. The Brauduino "shield" the bigger green PCB is the bit we have that converts the signals from the...

Hi ramu_gupta SBOB has described the correct way but is a little confusing. Basically the realy on the PCB is just a switch. When on the two terminals are connected together. The power supply (it is not a transformer) is rated to deliver 2Amps. The PCB and arduino Mega and driving the SSRs...

Hi Liquidcurrency Quote" Yea I thought about using that too. The 2.5 TPS is nice and rigid in that it bends and sets neatly and stays that way. I did use it on the pump relay too which, even for flex, i found a bit rigid for the plug at the board. Just need to be delicate with it when opening."...

A few comments Les Paul Insulated crimp terminals do not need heatshrink. For the SSRs I think the space is a bit tight for crimp terminals and twisting the strands then make a U shape and tighten down well. the U should go both sides of the screw so it calmps down flat if on one side the joint...

Hi Mister, The heat LED doesn't work if the temp of the probe is higher than the set temp, I have realised. I hope that this fixes your problem. Cheers Bigmacthepunker Absolutely correct, think this is in my document, caught me out too, a long time ago. Zwitter Sent from my iPad using...

Hi Slugerdog The jumper on the board is if you use a 5 or 12v relay. It is fitted witha 12v relay so do not move the jumper. I would double check the arduino mega is fully plugged in to the brauduino shield. If it is then probably next is to pull the arduino off and closely inspect the...

Hey Marksey If you ordered 2 extra you would end up with 3 as the kit included 1? Zwitter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Howdy some comments OneEye, I agree with Masters and these connectors are approved for 240v and 20A. There is no way even a baby could get fingers in there. And they lock and they seal. I think they are better in this application than IEC style plugs and sockets and nicer than the 16A IECs to...

Hi Masters Yes you have correctly done the crossover with the low voltage side of the SSRs. If I was pedantic I would also have same pin on SSR as active in and other as out but it works either way. I would say the earth should be connected between the two inputs. You have drawn as 2...

Masters brewery Actually the old Mathos diagram is not correct. As the SSRs are one up right way and other upside down the connections to the input side will have to cross over for one of the SSRs as the input has polarity ie - to - and + to +. Otherwise the second SSR will not turn on. Note...

Hi SBOB You are correct I chose to arrange the sockets differently from what Lael did in his wiring diagram. Note Lael is planning to do a video with me but he is doing HSC marking so the few moments he is not teaching and marking is totally consumed in getting home and sleeping. Probably...

Hi LiquidCurrency This is MaxN68's signature and these should be the links required for instruction manuals etc this contains several versions and languages and hardware that is not the same as what we have. The ArdBir team took over the software side some time back and it is configurable...
