+2 - Would love to be able to add on some displays once I get my rig without having to figure out how to program one, and standard sizing just makes sense.

As I've been reading through the forum and having various ideas about how the BCS could be used, I've been contemplating splitting the BCS with a wifi device (so I don't have to have it in use where LAN is accessible) into one enclosure. A DB25 connector could be used to have access to all the senso...

I know this thread is several years old, but I'm just now discovering the BCS products, and digging through the forums finding ideas. Yours made a couple light bulbs go off, so I went to google. There's a pre-made product for this as of Nov 2014, though you could also DIY from the controller chips i...

I haven't purchased my BCS yet, but a feature I think would be neat for use with the 7 segment display would be to display which step of your process the system is on (if a source comes up to replace them, since it seems oscsys doesn't carry them anymore...) That way you could tell at a glance that ...

So, there was a lot more space on the 16x8 side than there is on the 12x8 side... Not quite how I'd envisioned it, but looks like it'll fit - barely! For the concentric circles, inner is plug diameter outer is flange diameter. Network and temp sensors will all use Neutrik D-series panel mounts. http...

OK. Making all that fit into a 12"Wx16"Hx8"D enclosure was a bear! Considerations: 1) Heat rises, keep the computer (BCS-460) towards the bottom as a precaution. 2) There needs to be ample room at the bottom of the enclosure for the 4x L6-30 element outputs (48mm/~2" internal dep...

Thanks guys. The more I look at it, the more I like the vertical layout, too. There's plenty of space below the bottom row for an extra row of buttons should I feel the need to add them, and since I'll be using a punch for the holes, I'm not worried about adding holes later on if I need to and I'd r...

Thinking out loud... got to love it. Woke up wondering which trappist ale made me think of that patchwork layout anyway... If I flip the panel vertical, it looks a lot cleaner. I think I was copying the ebrewsupply guys' panel, and when I looked back at electricbrewery realized that I like the verti...

So, I've spent the better part of my downtime today thinking about / sketching this up / putting together a spreadsheet. Based on other users' comments in various parts of the forum, I've decided a few things. 1) I know I definitely want an alarm buzzer that can be triggered at stage transitions, an...

So, I'm starting to plan the next phase of my homebrewing build. I've read through all of Kal's stuff on electricbrewery, and the information over at ebrewsupply based on the BCS systems. I think the BCS-460 will more than suffice for my needs. My intended configuration is a single tier electric HER...
