Open Ardbir - Open source platform for brewing process control and automation

This is what you can expect

And don't throw out the membrane keypad it's hidden in the packaging.

What is the benefit of the empty NANO PCB?

[Sorcerers Apprentice]

No idea

[Sorcerers Apprentice]

Might make a fancy beer mat 😆

[pob]

I'll gladly take the Nano Pcb off anyone if they don't need it

Swopsies?

[Sorcerers Apprentice]

OK one beer mat less for me, pm me your address and I'll stuck it in an envelope

Plus one on the group buy, count me in. Are you all going to use this on a single vessel system?, or gonna program it to your own set up?

Bugger ye lot! There goes my Christmas bonus!

I'm IN!

So what to call an Ardbir pimped Greatgrainfather?

@Pob: need a 3d printed logo thingy for this!

Yup put me down for one if someone is doing a front panel order

The nano pcb allows you to wire up an arduino nano, as well as the planned 12V pump controls and 2x ssr that they have in the pipeline. It's a fun electronics project but you can safely ignore.

Used mine yesterday and it did an admirable job, when I had the temp probe in the right place My usual setup is on the herms out, which works a lot better.

Tonight, I wired up a phone socket so it can take my existing onewire connections from the brewpi and it worked like a champ.

My lunchboxes are growing...

Did you set temp probe to 'External'? That's the setting for using it in the HERMS pipe work rather than in the mash tun.

Something to do with how the PID handles lag/delay in calculating reaction to heat.

So who is any good at 3D printing? There are a few versions out there, I'm sure they could be used as start point.

(Puts serious hat on for a min)
Remember folks working with electrics can be v dangerous if not done properly.

Make sure you get an electrician or ask on here first before you plug anything in, if you are not 100% sure what you're doing.

You can't brew beer from a hospital bed (even with remote apps on your phone) or from a pine box.

Capiche?

Yeah especially if you have ever fried an stc or arduino ....
But you can't make omelettes without breaking eggs.
Fortunately I have never done that and so also jumped on the bandwagon to run a 3 vessel system so will be watching this thread with interest

According to my wife I make a mean omelette...lol, nah wiring stuff etc isn't a problem, programming it might lol... I'm planning on running this on 3 vessel herms setup

[Leann ull]

Yep that's what I have
