My Kaixin pump is going brilliantly. Just like Pete said, my LBP was not up to the task of moving the volume of wort under higher temps, it just ceased up. The kaixin on the otherhand has been flawless. It pumps like a mad thing. Rob.

Thanks Steve. That did the trick. I had just misunderstood the connection to the active from the load rather than the ssr. Looks like my suppression circuit isn't quite right though. Will have to see what is going on with it. Cheers Rob

Hey Guys, I have just tested my new pump along with the suppression circuit. All works well except for one thing, the pump will only run when I have the heater on as well. I suspect I have misread the wiring diag in Mathos docs. Can anyone give me any clues as to the correct wiring for the pump...

Thanks Sammus. I will be off to jaycar later this week :) Rob.

Hey Guys, So my little brown pump was not up to the task yesterday. As a result I am looking to buy a 240v pump to replace it. Would it be possible for anyone who has fitted the RC suppression circuit to send me a picture of how they have hooked it up? Cheers Rob

Thanks Steve. I must admit that without the help of the guys like yourself on this forum I would never have attempted anything like this. It has been such fun. Cheers Rob

Hi Steve, I had my maiden voyage yesterday and this exact thing happened to me. Will i need to upload the new code to fix this? Otherwise, it ran perfectly - I am so happy with the end result. I will post some pics later :) for now though, I have an Irish read ale bubbling away in the...

Have sent you a PM.

Hey Steve, Well I tried giving it some time, but still no good. No LED. Not really sure which bits I should measure to find the fault. I checked voltage on the LED at the board and it reads only around 1volt no matter what I do with the heater button. Any ideas? Not quite sure what to test...

Thanks Steve. That makes sense now. Will go and check it out. Cheers Rob

Hi Guys, I have one more trouble shooting question i need to ask. Everything seems to be working perfectly except for the heater. I have put it into manual mode and can see the pump led come on when i press the pump button and measuring across the pinouts shows 12v coming through, perfect...

Bigbanko. I have still got 1 board left after the last count. If you are still up for one I am happy for you to have it. Just let me know. Cheers Rob

Hi, Sorry but all the boards I have are spoken for at this point. If anyone pulls out I will let you know. If you are really keen I can vouch for how easy it was to put it all together and send and order off for the board builds. Cheers Rob

Yeah it is. I have loved every minute of it. I can't wait to get the hardware and plumbing done now. I have cut the 19l pot up already for the malt pipe and am in the process of sorting the filters. This has been so much fun - thanks Steve. For the guys who were after boards I am hoping to...

Thanks Steve. I have changed the transistors around and it is all good. I still have an amazing temp display of over 4000 degrees. I assume this is cause I have not wired up the temp probe yet. I have been able to go through menus etc and even put it in manual mode and managed to get the pups...

Awesome work Pete. This is what i was looking for myself :) Cheers Rob

Awesome, Thanks Pete. I will do this tonight. Cheers Rob

Hi Matho, I used this transistor http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=ZT2298 Thanks for checking this out for me. At this point I had not hooked up the pump, temp sensor or heater/relay - I was really just checking to see if it would power up properly etc. I am wondering if not having...

Ok, good news. I thought i would give it another go and all was as before, then I tried adjusting the trim pot, you little ripper I now have both display lines. I think the buzzer is on because I haven't wired in the temp sensor and thus have a reading of 4000 degrees. Will sort this out next...
