Re: Buck Brewery (recirc setup)

After working on adding features from other threads, here is my latest post (from a different thread, just trying to keep my setup info in this thread also). My latest interface. I expanded the background image canvas size to allow including the PIDs, but I probably won't keep the PIDs on there, esp...

Re: Add Temp Gauge As A Widget In HMI Builder

My latest interface. I expanded the background image canvas size to allow including the PIDs, but I probably won't keep the PIDs on there, especially since I only use a setpoint for the brew kettle and the dial gauges have the setpoint indicators on them too. Custom changes: 'Hose' widgets that appe...

This was simpler than I made it out to be. I just overloaded the toggle_gauge function to add a 5th state, i.e. no display. :)

Re: Add Temp Gauge As A Widget In HMI Builder

Here's a PID display that shows actual temp (PV) and setpoint (SV). It is scalable in size (though the scaling value has to be set in the external.js script). In the pics there is no temp input (i.e 0.0 F for PV) and I have a process going that enables a setpoint of 156.0F (the SV value). The °F als...

Re: Add Temp Gauge As A Widget In HMI Builder

I might also try to add the ability to show the setpoint on the bezel in the gauge section for those who don't want to add a gauge to the HMI. I can get the indicator to show up briefly , but the refresh code for the page (which is in the BCS box and I can't modify (at this time)) keeps refreshing ...

Re: Add Temp Gauge As A Widget In HMI Builder

Here's a quick pic of what I've got going. Note that I have the temp0 value hard-coded at 150 for testing, but the setpoint indicator on the bezel is determined from ultemps. I also have a widget that shows the setpoint (in text, placed on the keg in picture) that I will probably remove now that I h...

Re: Customize your BCS web pages - coming soon!

In a nutshell, I'm using a proxy (Fiddler) in between my browser and the BCS and doing file substitution on the fly. I use a modifed version of index.html, control.js and a couple additonal files for my graphics. Funny, as I was researching about the XHR problems, I came across Fiddler. ;) I haven'...

Re: Customize your BCS web pages - coming soon!

Jon, You are using your own html page for the main control page, correct? I'm trying that, but I'm running into cross-domain XHR (XmlHttpRequest) problems (here at work). I haven't tried it at home on my local network yet. I like the way you've laid out your display/timers/outputs/etc. Any updates, ...

Re: Auto-change process displayed on Main Control page

I've implemented a work-around (that works for my setup) in a different thread.

Hopefully ECC will better implement this feature so that I don't have to use registers and widgets to accomplish this. ;)
