Re: BCS RIMS Build

First Brew day in the record books. I love the BSC. Other than a few tweaks, everything worked flawlessly. First brew is my Vanilla, Bourbon Barrel Porter. I guess I need to update my firmware now and work on a HMI screen. Adam, thanks for your help today, I'll let you know the results. :geek:

There's a couple swtiched to add to the control panel for the gas valves, but here's a peek so far. The box beneath the rig will house all the SSR's, power supplies and transformers.

Re: Temperature Association with Digi 16

I suspected that was what I needed to do. I've been playing with this thing in the virtual sense for a couple months now. Not a big deal to reassign some outputs and do some re-programing. I see why my pic's wont upload, they are too large. Thanks so much for your edvice and help. :D
