Re: BCS 4.1.1 Firmware Released

Automation is to reduce work and mistakes... Most everyone here can agree with that, right? I think most people on here go on with their lives and their brewing and can go 6-12 months or more between upgrades, and it is easy to forget in this world of upgrading your phone, your PC, etc.. that you ne...

Re: how to get 2 'Direct' outputs to show 'on' in same state

and I guess it is a bonus that my config, now re-written by hand from scratch, is clean and free of old code... you really should put a warning in red next to the 'update' button... or better yet, don't wipe the config!

Re: how to get 2 'Direct' outputs to show 'on' in same state

OK, I ran into other issues, such as it won't even display on my iPad2, which is a deal killer

I reverted back to 4.0.1 and the 'Direct ON' is fixed, and I can get to it from my iPad...

how to get 2 'Direct' outputs to show 'on' in same state

In 4.1.1, I am reprogramming my entire BCS by hand... Entire config erased, no ladder logic, registers, etc... no bonding of outputs together or anything like that, just basic new config. There are no other processes turned on. I configure a state in a new process to turn on output 1 (SSR to heating...

Re: BCS 4.1.1 Firmware Released

How damn hard is it to put a warning in the firmware upgrade section to let you know your recently modified config will be wiped the hell out??? really?????

Re: Logging data to Linux (Raspberry Pi)

Hoping someone with more time would find this useful, especially for those trying for repeatability... Using mine in a production environment on a still that distills 100gal of fermented molasses into rum, and trying to see where we can not only improve repeatability, but also shave time off the pro...

Logging data to Linux (Raspberry Pi)

Wondering if anyone has already done logging to a linux based machine from the BCS... I am using Tilt Pi on a Raspberry Pi Zero W to log and monitor fermentations, and it logs onboard as well as to google sheets. I bought another one to play with and have mySQL, phpMyAdmin, and a few other things ru...

Re: Getting rid of the Wall Wort Power Supply

is it just a software mod to report/log the input voltage? I would think something like that would be built into the CPU, right? Would be nice to have a switch in the settings page to turn that on in case you thought you might have voltage issues...
