Re: programming the Bluto 555
I figured it out all on my own. A very excited Eureka moment for someone like me. Missing fuses on F11 through F16 . And I figured out that the green output lights on the BCS interface don't display unless the output has power to it for greater than 1 second, which is the refresh rate for the interf...

Re: programming the Bluto 555
Got it. I can turn the pumps on by clicking the buttons for Pump 1 through Pump 5, and the green light for each button comes on. When I click the buttons for K1 Heat Valve through K5 Heat Valve, I hear the gas valve click (don't have gas hooked up yet), but the green lights don't come on. When I cli...

Re: programming the Bluto 555
I'm confused about Manual Mode. The interface has 6 spots for Outputs Manually Asserted. How do I change the outputs? And is the limit 6? I have 15 (actually 16, but I won't be using the last one, a tankless water heater solenoid valve, until this thing gets set up somewhere else). https://lh5.googl...

static IP
Yesterday I set up my BCS for the first time, and had no problem accessing it by typing in the BCS IP address as discovered by the BCS System Finder utility. I also set up port forwarding on my router to the IP that had been assigned to the BCS and was able to access it by entering my externalIP:por...

Re: programming the Bluto 555
Idiot alert. When you use On/Off/Auto switches on the control panel, be sure to turn the switch to Auto. lol. That reminds me.. this pursuit is somewhat philosophical for me, and I've never minded sharing my thoughts along the way. Something I've noticed about some "pros" I know is that th...

programming the Bluto 555
OK, I'm posting this in the BCS for Pros forum because no one else has started a thread here... not because I'm a professional brewer... I'm just a brewer. Having been a lawyer for 15 years, I do this to get away from being professional, not to be one. But this is a system that is grossly oversized ...

Re: mmm cookies!
Same problem here, and I have clicked the link to delete board cookies. It's been happening since the forum upgrade.

Re: Brewbuddy for Android?
For whatever reason, I can see the intended BCS interface on my Droid browser, but I wasn't able to a few weeks ago.

Re: Brewbuddy for Android?
what phone is that? i didn't realize 2.2 was out yet. I have 2.1 and connecting via browser didn't work well for me. I said App, but connecting via browser is fine with me. It just isn't working with 2.1. Or maybe since the BCS firmware has been updated to 3.1 I'll have a different result. I'll chec...
