Keggle Ardbir Build

The app is super easy to use however, I cannot drive the Ardbir to operate manually via pwm only. In manual you can only set a temperature and the ardbir works as a pid controller. It would be very handy if there was an option to operate as a pwm directly from the manual screen to simplify tuning the pid control

You can technically, assuming they haven't put some min and max values in place.

The ArdBir has two modes - temp and PWM. Once you reach your boil temp, as set in the parameters menu, it automatically switches to pwm. I haven't tried it, but you should be able to set it to boil at 0C and then just use PWM as you'd normally expect.

The ArdBir really does miss a data logging mode though. That and a webpage/mobile app and it would be stellar. I think BrewPi will eventually get there in this regard, in about 5 years

From memory you're only able to adjust the boil temp to only 3-4°C below 100°C.

If you rewrote the code you could bring figures down to mash levels (should be easy enough to find - although could be in Italian).

Adapted for a Spark type board (built in WiFi, etc), you'd really have a great device.

It's quite limited in that it uses the full 32k on an Arduino.

Plus I don't think you can step past alpha amylase step without heating to a minimum of 60C, you can't jump directly to boil, and it uses pid to reach boil temp then reverts to pwm

I was in Lidl yesterday and picked up one of their patio/balcony parasols for around €14. I drilled 2 x 32mm holes in my Hill Billy brewing table and now have an all weather brewing station 😆

I may have to change the name from The Dalek to The Caped Crusader 😆

Is it not a Dalek disguising itself as a cocktail
