Re: How to add mechanical pause and next buttons?

This can be quite easily done by wiring your switches on one side to the +5VDC of the BCS and the other side of the switch to a DIN. By setting a state change condition based on those DINs you should be able advance to a state that will either pause the process or advance to the next one. A state ch...

Re: Process State 0 Timer - Continue

Adding another state would seem to be your easiest option. I too ran out of states and had to use the "spawn/kill other processes" in order to add more states to my process. At the end of state0 you could kill process1 and spawn process2 for a "fermentaion process". This would gi...

Re: Setting an output on or off rather than toggling it.

I'm creating a custom interface for the brewery. Most of what I was initially trying to do is working, but I've stumbled into two problems. The second turning into the biggest. 1 - By only being able to toggle the outputs, if any information gets "dropped" (information not getting to the b...

Re: Setting an output on or off rather than toggling it.

I had a glitch with the wireless this morning. Maybe it dropped offline for a moment or aliens paused time, but it only lasted a moment. Then all my future toggles for that one output were reversed. I'd also like my interface to be able to have an "all stop". To prevent this kind of error ...

Open interface arguments are in hex.

It took a while but I finally figured out that the output argument in uinputo.dat is in hex. There was lots of head scratching till the light bulb went on. I signed up for wiki access, but I can't figure out how to make any changes/additions to it. I thought it would be nice to mention that the argu...

Setting an output on or off rather than toggling it.

With the uinputo.dat file I can toggle an output on and off.

Is there a file where I can set an output either on or off, rather than just toggle it?

Re: Manual control of expansion card outputs

Another questionon expansion card outputs.

Are they controllable through the "uinputo.dat" file?

I've tried sticking and "E" in front of the output number but that doesn't work.

Manual control of expansion card outputs

I don't see anywhere that I can manually control the digi16 outputs.

Are they controllable only from within a process?

Re: Trouble connecting wireless client

Problem solved, seems I just needed to get some sleep. I got up this morning and the client was broadcasting it's SSID. I don't know why I couldn't see it last night but that problem was solved. Then the client couldn't see the BCS. An hour was spent until I tried connecting to the BCS directly and ...
