I really wanted to see the pics..can you post links to your gallery perhaps on homebrewtalk.com?

+1 I consider it a must have for my pumps when setting up or cleaning. I originally only had a normal switch to force ON a circuit, i now have three way switches as well. Force Off, Force On, and SSR Controlled. I also feel it is a must...You can force things off without going to the bcs if you need...

Yes, you will need one ssr for each, so each can control a separate powered circuit for either heating or cooling.

if the manual control works, then the ssr's are wired correctly. So if you can run them from the interface manually, then you have em wired up right.

If I understand your question: for output0 check control checkbox Choose the Directly controlled radio button(third column) Check the checkbox next to that radio button(labeled on/off) for output2 check control select differentially controlled OR pid controlled(your choice) set a temperature setpoin...

Because you are so happy, i just pm'd ya a promo code(good for 30 days). Give the brew buddy a whirl and see what you can do.

Cheers,

I got my temps dead on to start and let em sit. Old skool style. :) when I go back...

yeah, my preference is for #1 as well.

What would you like to know? The brew buddy is providing a window into a subset of the bcs information and controls. Showing temps, timers, active processes and allows you to turn on uncontrolled outputs if you desire. I use the control of outputs when I am priming my pumps.
