Re: Wireless?

When I asked the original question I had a TrendNet TEW-637AP plugged into my Linksys RV082 router, so I could use laptops without having to run long ethernet cables all over. I just got a TrendNet TEW-638APB and can report that although it was difficult getting it to talk to the TEW-637AP (poor ins...

Re: Control motor speed?

For a 10 gallon batch with 20 pounds of grain at 1.25 quarts per pound, you will need 25 quarts of water, which will weigh approximately 50 pounds. To raise the temperature of this much water from say 65F to 165F will take (50x100) or 5,000 btus. At 50% efficiency a 100,000 btuh burner would take 1/...

Re: HLT Control

ECC, I do not have a problem with momentary push buttons, but this leaves the question. Are there any sticky values that may be set in one step and then checked in another step or process. What would it take to make some of the Win Input buttons momentary and some sticky. Or better let, an option to...

Re: HLT Control

ECC, Thanks for the reply. Got that working. Now I have a question about the operation of the Win Input Buttons. What are the default conditions or settings for the Win Input buttons? If I use Win0 ON as an exit condition in a step, will its setting change when I exit the step or return to the step ...

HLT Control

A couple of simple questions about HLT control. My HLT is propane fired and so I need to monitor the level in the HLT to prevent the burner from coming on if the level is below the temperature sensor. My idea is to connect a float switch to Din0 to accomplish this. State0 would then test Din0 as a e...

Automatic creation of states based on Mash profiles?

I use BeerSmith and am wondering if there might be a simple way to automatically extract the mash profiles from my recipes and using some sort of template convert them into BCS-460 states and then load the states into my BCS-460. I assume the same question would apply to ProMash users. Anyone have a...

Wireless?

Does anyone know if the BCS-460 can be converted to wireless by connecting its ethernet port to a wireless access point/bridge, such as the TrendNet TEW-638APB?
