Re: Fermentation Controller

I've seen those fermenters, they are really nice. What I was suggesting would still allow you to maintain different temps in each fermenter and would also allow you to heat or cool. However, it would essentially eliminate the dual zone capability, you would have to jump the outlet of one zone to the...

Re: Fermentation Controller

My questions on this build are two fold. One, am I overcomplicating hooking up the heat/cooling Two, will one BCS-462 handle all of this? I understand I will need a 12v driver board, and 4 SSR's. Caleb Wither it's overcomplicated or not is a bit subjective, sometimes it's just fun to do stuff, but ...

Re: BSC authentication

Cool, by the way, the ContentType listed in my previous post is the one I use for the "GET" method. For the "POST" method I use:
request.ContentType = "text/html".

Re: BSC authentication

It's a little particular about how it works. Try this: Dim request As HttpWebRequest = Nothing request = HttpWebRequest.Create(YourURL & Process) request.KeepAlive = False request.Timeout = 6000 request.Method = method request.PreAuthenticate = True request.ContentType = "application/x-www-...

I had trouble with them on 3.7.0 as well so I rolled back to 3.6.0.

Re: 7 segment display

Mine work fine and I'm running BCS firmware 3.6.0. I did have issues with the displays freezing or dropping with a newer BCS firmware. Two of my displays are version 6.6.1 and one of them is version 6.6.2. I haven't followed the previous posts but I assume you guys are running a seperate 6-12v power...

Re: Temperature from probe jumps

Did you cut or add any wire to the probe? Also, make sure that you run an AC ground lead to one of the BCS ground posts. This post describes a similar issue. http://forum.embeddedcontrolconcepts.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2191&p=6908&hilit=AC+ground&sid=96b7c01e05ce7f80a440c779f4f25985...

Yes, information on how to do a direct connect can be found on the wiki.

Once connected you can control the BCS using the built in web interface.

Re: Save All

It's not in there yet but it's a good idea. As a work around you could use the BeerSmith to BCS integration program I developed. Even if you don't use BeerSmith there is a tab for Backup/Restore that allows to you to select which process or select All to backup or restore everything to or from one f...
