Re: Boil outlets not triggering on BCS-462

Good grief.... OK, so it's wired as a single output control triggering all 4 outlets, and a switch to disable any single one. So I have HEAT, BOIL, PUMP 1 and PUMP 2 Overly simplified :) Problem solved. Now I just gotta get everything installed and tested to get the PID tuned and figure out if I can...

Boil outlets not triggering on BCS-462

OK, so I setup the outputs as 4-herms (0-3) and 4-boil (4-7) From the Main page if I select any of the HERMs buttons, they fire. But not so for the Boil outputs. These are tied to the BCS on OUT0 and OUT1. There is about 3.8vdc on OUT0 when the Herms fires but nada for the Boil. Bad unit? If I move ...

Re: Help with RIMS mash process

Lemme throw this in the mix.... We've been using a HERMs system for several years with highly repeatable results. The thing we got hung up on in the early days was always MASH temp. The important thing to remember is, the HOTTEST point in your system is the conversion point. With the temp probe on t...

Re: Can't find the BCS

Right. OK so that works well, I got in and of course I had defaulted it so we'll have to rebuild or load a config. I tried upgrading the firmware (4.0.1 to 4.1.2) and I'm running TFTP Desktop. pointed its directory to where the .BIN is located, disabled Windows Firewall and put my laptops address in...

Can't find the BCS

OK, so I read several of the posts, and went Native. I hit the reset button like 4 times for 15seconds, and plugged my laptop directly into the BCS, disabled my Wireless NIC and set an IP of 169.254.0.64

I can't ping the expected .63 address of the BCS.

Thoughts?
