Hello,

I am using DHCP and need to be able to set the BCS port number, but it is currently only available when not using DHCP.

Unlike the IP address and gateway info, the port number is not typically part of the DHCP response, so it should be available whether or not the BCS is using DHCP.

Thanks!

What is the sample frequency of the temperature probes on which you're basing the average? Are you sampling once/second and using a 32-second average for triggering exits, or sampling multiple times/second? Are you triggering exits based on an individual sample, or the averaged value? If on an indiv...

I just realized that the datalog was set to sample every one minute, so I might have missed a spike that dropped the temperature to the exit trigger value. That being said, I see a lot of people talking about temperature fluctuations on this board. I have tried to follow some of the examples to redu...

Thanks for the info regarding the recipe utility. I had started writing my own php script to update my process using just settemp and differential values similar to what the recipe utility would do - it's now working well. I have to say I like the 4.0 json api much better than the 3.7 api! (You prob...

Jon - Thanks for your responses. 1 - I am using this with a chest freezer and plastic fermenters, so the temperature swings are extremely small and gradual. I am not using heat and cool setpoint because by the time 5-10 gals of wort cools to the desired setpoint, the freezer has way overshot the low...

Three problems with Beta 2: 1) Process step exit conditions defined on temperature probe setting exited at apparently incorrect temperature readings. The temperature does not appear to have met the criteria for exit, but the process was on the target step. I haven't been able to catch it when it hap...

Hey Trevor, I know this post is pretty old, but I just joined the forum and have almost the exact setup. I don't know about your temperature reading problem, but I created a process to include a compressor delay like what you described. Basically you define four states all with direct output control...
