Happens in both auto and manual. During the auto run I had to reset the box about 4 times as the temp measurement kept crashing, first occasion I had expected to see the SSR start pulsing at around 60 degrees (aiming for 63) but it was still constant on after a while and displayed temp hadnt changed so I used an analogue (mercury) thermometer to test and saw the actual was well above the displayed temp from DS1820 and SSR was still applying heat, When I reset the controller the displayed temp was 70 degrees, well above setpoint and matched what my analogue thermometer was reading. As I mentioned in a previous post I tried it also in manual mode (for the boil part of my brew) and the display temp stalled at 93 degrees but the wort continued to heat up and eventually was enjoying a rolling boil, reset the controller and hey presto the displayed temp was 99.75. Do you think it could be the entire loop is crashing, I recall in earlier posts there was issues with the timer not working properly and people resetting the controllers and resuming process as a work-around? Im using the code you linked to in the post below, brauduino2.INO from github. Im pretty good with electronics hardware, but the software side is like visiting a foreign country and not speaking the native tongue. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. Overall Im pretty pleased with the system, just bottled my first batch (used Pilsner recipe from Braumeister website, 1/2 teaspoon of raw sugar into each 450ml Grolsch bottle) and Im looking forward to sampling in a week or two. Just added a pic to your build thread, seems my estimate for the top locking bar using 4mm stainless steel was, shall we say, inadequate.http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/69155-bonjuino-and-mathos-controller-30/page-14#entry1117162
