Re: BCS 4.0.0 firmware released

Heck yeah... I am upgraded. My steps: 1. Backup my config using the Backup/Restore utility. 2. Upgrade firmware using HS-TFTP (the website link on the ECC wiki page is dead - I had to use the version I had). 3. Use the new finder to find the IP address (because my static IP was now erased). 4.

Re: BCS 4.0 Public Beta 3

Re: BCS Desktop App Pre-Release

Got a chance to play with it a bit. Awesome work!! Shows the power of thew new JSON calls. It crashed and locked up on me a few times, but that could be me just pushing it by punching lots of buttons. But I get the gist. I am not sure how to handle certain customizations (like how to make an unused ...

Re: flowmeter (hall effect type) ability...

I have implemented hall effect sensor on my rig. I use an Arduino to count and generate outputs to the BCS. Documented here: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=542899

Re: Comments on BCS 4.0 public beta 3

I guess that is more complicated than I thought... the guages already know the setpoint. Why can't that control have both an input and output?

Re: Comments on BCS 4.0 public beta 3

Understood on the exits, and it's a solid point. I guess it is better than having to manually copy states up and down, but this will not continuentonhappen ad infinitem, so not the biggest priority out there. Adjusting temp and duty cycle on the main screen is! Hahaha!!
