    Ok, thanks @oakbarn - suspected as much but thanks for the confirmation 👍

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Apologies for a fairly basic question (I think), but does the input (eg thermistor) and output (eg SSR control wire) for a PID element need to be on the same interface, or can we split it and have for eg some inputs on one ESP32 and the associated outputs on another?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I have something similar going on with my esp32s, haven't gotten around to chasing up a fix myself or details to pass onto you yet though. It first started six months ago when I was testing, so probably an earlier firmware than 45N at the time, but that's what it's on now. I'll try to chase up...

    No worries @BrunDog. Basically Digital Outputs aren't responding to the UI on 45O firmware for me, I'll just repost below from last week rather than paraphrase. Thank you 👍

    Hi @BrunDog, any idea what's happening with the digital output devices on 45O (esp32)? Cheers,

    Thanks for the reply, but no I'm trying to assign the inverse of the current state rather than compare (single "=").

    Hi @BrunDog, sorry for another message today but Digital Output Devices seems to be broken on 45O on my ESP32. I've got v1.1.9 running, and two ESP32s connected, one on 45O and one on 45N. I've added a new device to BruControl port 4 on each to test, state changes work fine on the 45N interface...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    And one more actually (sorry for spamming the thread) - in scripts is there a "not" function equivalent to the following psuedo-code available? "Generic Switch Device" state = not("Generic Switch Device" state) or new bool CurrentState CurrrentState = "Generic Switch Device" state "Generic...

    @BrunDog, while you're here, do you have any ETA on absolute addressing for 1-wire? My use-case might be a bit different to most but I've built a general-purpose box which can control a few different rigs with different 1-wire probes and counts so can't rely on sensor indexes remaining constant...

    Thanks, yes it is on 45N currently.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Thanks @BrunDog, that's great clearing those things up for me. Only one is that for point 3 - the ESP32 firmware - I believe I have already updated to the latest firmware from the v45 release currently linked on your website. Is there an OTA method to check the current firmware version on the...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hey guys, I've finally gotten an ESP32 based box built, knocked up a step mash interface and process script, and gave it a wet-test last night. The portable box is built to be adaptable to a number of different single-vessel recirculating systems that I've built or bought and customised. Loving...

    Thanks for the response Pete, to clarify though I'm trying to calibrate the linear output of the PID (0-255, or 0-100%) to the input axis on the S-curve shaped response curve chart. So for 50% power a 50% PWM signal neatly works, but what about 20% power? By eye it's about a 35% PWM signal. I...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hey guys, can anyone suggest the best way to map a PID calculated power level (i.e. 0-100% power) to the required input signal on a Crydom MCPC2450C proportional SSR? Context being to drive a heating element with a PID algorithm in response to temperature (1-wire) for mashing. Curve is below...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Looks great @BrunDog! Off topic somewhat, what's the antenna arrangement? I'm really keen to add external antennas to my ESP32s but haven't turned up a solution yet. Cheers

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    That would be awesome thanks Brundog. I've actually already got the Ethernet wing as well, I bought it assuming it would just be plug and play before it occurred to me I should probably have asked you first... 😝

    Has anyone tried to integrate an iSpindle with Brucontrol? I know nothing about how they work except that they're basically a wifi, DIY equivalent of a Tilt. Being wifi I've got no idea whether Brucontrol would be able to talk to them or not.
