I've changed my mind... If you want to try

You have to change a number at the end of void MANUAL_MODE:
...
if (mheat)PID_HEAT(true); //set heat in auto mode

if(mpump)pump_rest(8); //Forced Boil Stage for Pump Control

}CntDwn(TimeSpent);
}lcd.clear();
}

void WaitStart(){
...

The number 8 should be changed to 7
What is the significance of the 8 and the 7?
 
I have a question!

I'm going to be separating High voltage into it's own little box, with the 12v supply, then pass everything over cat5 to the controller Box, now I know cat5 can run 12v, but not how many amps or how much the controller needs. So in essence the controller will recieve power and temp signals, and power 3 SSR's over one Cat 5.

Will it work?
 
In automatic mode, the procedure is called with the parameter of the number of stages, in manual mode do not have the stage, I must then pass though a dummy parameter.
Since I have to be able to manage the pump block during the boil, I have to pass the number of stage of the boil (8); for all other temperatures okay a parameter from 1 to 7

you might be able to get 2amps out of cat5 however the insulation is next to nothing one scrape and its a count down to a short. use bell wire or something solid core with decent insulation

the cat5 is only to go from one box to the other, going to use panel mount sockets and heavier wire inside each.

Ed: I'll run a test set up before I start cutting holes
 
Max, that worked and it is now all up and running, thanks very much. Now to find some grain.... Wish the LHBS stocked anything other than kits!
 
Just loaded 2.6.63b6 and was making sure the configuration was ok but found the minimum pump rest setting available is 10 minutes. I haven't operated it to see if it does actually rest for 10 minutes but it cannot be set lower than that.

Cheers,
Steve.
 
The Pump Cycle is from 5 to 15 minutes, the Pump Rest is from 0 to 5 minutes.
I just uploaded the same version and the setting is operating normally.
 
Gave it another go. Thought it might have been an eeprom error in the settings so I ran the eeprom clear sketch before re-uploading 2.6.63b6 and got the same result.

TimePumpRest can only be set between 10 and 15 minutes.
 
just doing my controller build and run it for the first time with the buttons, leds, buzzer etc, plugged in.

A couple of things, in the setup menu, the first option is "P.I.D. Parameters" when i hit down it leaves some characters on the line... eg. "PUnit Parameterss", "P Manage Recipies s" Any idea what its doing that for? Using a 20x4 lcd.

Also the buzzer is constantly running as soon as the arduino starts.

Using the latest B6 revision.

Edit: Pump rest on latest revision with a 20x4 lcd can be set between 0-5

Any thoughts?
 
I double checked again by loading the specific version you're using (16x2 ENG) thinking about a display problem.

On my system works properly from 0 to 5.

I try to reload the file.

For the next time please tell me when you report a bug version of the language, we now have 7 languages ​​and it is impossible to debug checking everything: D

Also can confirm the above about the timepumprest 10-15 min issue

Any thoughts?
Have you select the correct PCB in sketch before load the firmware in the Arduino?

To display errors check later.

I confirm that instead of setting the pause pump works
 
yes the display seems fine except for that issue in the setup menu
 
I'm using the 16,2 ENG display, just loaded 2.6.63b7 and still see the pump rest setting display error, ie setting time available is 10 minutes to 15 minutes.
