Re: BCS Desktop App Pre-Release

Wowser! I will give it a go.

Now, what if I don't have an HLT (I don't)?

Re: BCS-462 wiring for relay and ball valves

I know I am not adding value in this thread with this comment... but... What is the value of electric ball valves exactly? I would like to add some, but if they are not proportional (aka big $$$) then I am not sure the point. I suppose switching pump inputs makes sense, but outputs still require man...

Re: Comments on BCS 4.0 public beta 3

I SOOOOOO agree with being able to move states up or down. I have found myself playing the copy game too many times in an effort to add or remove steps. A simple copy or arrow scheme would be great!!

Re: First full brew - some interface feedback

I gotta reiterate my reiteration! Please add some type of real-time control of duty cycle. Almost had a few boil-overs this weekend which required slamming the E- stop a couple of times. Having this and temp control right on the main page would make the BCS nearly perfect. Maybe the reported set poi...

Re: Flow Switch Ladder Logic?

Thanks for validating, Jon. I appreciate you taking time to test this. The switch I have is not a dry contact, but I could have it drive a transistor/relay combo to inhibit the signal to the SSR. Unfortunately I designed and installed the hardware on faith of the documentation, which is ladder holds...

Flow Switch Ladder Logic?

Gents, I have a problem that I am trying to solve but having difficulty... figured I needed to ask the gururururus here... I have a flow switch that detects flow through my RIMS tube. It correctly turns DIN4 on when there is flow, and DIN4 correctly turns off when there is not flow --> so the hardwa...

Re: Alternate PID removed in 4.0?

You may be right - this could potentially work. Keep in mind diodes have about a 0.7 V drop across them, but that may not be enough to matter (SSR should trigger at 4.3V). I will test this and report back. Thanks for the idea. Of course this does not fix the original request, so two outputs are stil...
