    Kegland Kegmenter & Temp Twister Cooling/Heating Coil

    Thanks, I managed to get hold of a spare board that wasn't being used, the probe / temp issue still occurred. I have now taken out the original temperature probe, removed the jack plug and wired the new sensor into the green plug, so will not be fitting the old resistor as there is very little /...

    Had a little time to play with the controller again, the scrambled screen issue is now fixed. I now however have another problem the temp will read upto 50c and then gets stuck so at near boiling point it still reads 50c. I am tempted to install another temp probe/ thermowell, just a quick...

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

    Me again :unsure: I set up to brew this morning and used the delay function, 8+ hrs. When I went out to the BM clone this morning the water was at strike temp but the display was scrambled and flickering, I simply unplugged the unit and powered on again = all was back to normal. Is there a...

    Thanks for the note on the options, being a donut I programed the Uno board with "2" and not the Matho board option, so reprogrammed & everything now appears to be OK even the temperature prob is working (or at least displaying 21c & not 0 or 85c), so the new wire seems to have worked correctly...

    Just tried again & have noticed some a little weird, I am sure I have not swapped any wires around but the UP & Down buttons are now reversed, so by pressing the Up button I can get into the manual mode. Although as mentioned I am sure I have not touched anything and the unit was working...

    The board model is Mega 2560 R3 Software 2.8.3TC8 BUT that gave me an idea, I have a spare Uno board, which I have just loaded, that plugged in & the screen has come to life again. The Green LED light though is still on permanently. I cannot seem to select MAN mode from the menu (although...

    I have checked between a GND + both terminals on the yellow box and there is no voltage on either of the terminals. I have never removed and jumpers since owning the board & it was up and running 1yr +.

    Two together + 1 by itself (is the picture posted not working?) 12v / 5v jumper = no power on the 5v side

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

    With a separate 12v supply plugged in no Arduino, I have a 12v supply measured on the jumper (next to r7) and the GND on the Arduino pin. On the Arduino pins there is no voltage on either 3.3v or 5v & GND

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

    The lead on the temp probe is a stereo jack plug I have as a matter of course renewed the this plug + replaced the socket and wire with a spare on I had from the original kit, this has a resistor on the Red wire, now I understand why that was in place (so have at least learn something else today...

    Yep done quite a few successful brews with the fully built system, in a permanent setup, it was one of the 1st units sold by Lael. The probe is normally left in / had been left in since I finished the build. Things started to go wrong when the temp probe flicked between 0 & then got stuck on 85c...

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

    Hi Guys, I'm in need of some advice please, a little while ago the unit developed a fault on the temp sensor, that I thought had been solved with a replacement lead however the unit now just reads 0.00c much the same as if a sensor wasnt connected, before that it was either 0 or 85c. Anyway I...
