Cable glands, mains power in cable, and sockets for cold and heat sources.

Thanks that is great.

Thanks for all the groundwork Darren, I set one up over the last few days, to replace the RaspberryPi & Arduino one that kept on dropping off the flaky WiFi repeater in the shed (Arduino was rock solid, RaspPI not so ).

Surprisingly easy to setup when loaded onto the D1 Mini board - way quicker than the original BrewPi using the RaspPi & Arduino method.

Really great, now have to find a 3D printed 20x4 LCD Display bezel/surround (bit like the ArdBir one) to cover my shaky Dremel cutting of the box lid



Then, got completely distracted by the Brewmaniac, a D1 Mini version of the ArdBir - built on the original, just now has WiFi control - a bit like the Grainfather Controller - must step away from the keyboard ... it's not a straight swop, needs a few chips, although they have been working on a very similar board to the pre-made ArdBir one; a project for the next couple of months.

Expect loads of questions from yours truly when I get around to working on this again

Catch you on Sat

Built my diy brewpi a few years back, but was never happy with it, kept crashing and losing WiFi. So going to try this out. It'll make a much neater solution to what I currently have

[johnrm]

Finally got it working.
Back in the drawer for a bit!

[johnrm]

Has anyone tied in their Ispindel?

[Shanna]

Catch you on Sat

POB if you would post that set of links that we discussed last week would be great.

Lads how doable would this be for someone whose entire electronics knowledge stopped at leaving cert physics but has a can do attitude?

[johnrm]

Just go for it.
A couple of lads have it built so will help you out.

[dcalnan]

Just order the parts now, and read up on everything so you have an idea when the parts finally arrive. My 5v relays finally arrived today after ordering in November.

Main thing; don't switch mains power side on until you've got someone to check the wiring (post on here if need be). You can test & setup the controller & relays without having live power to hot/cold plug/sockets.

Keep safe, electricity is nasty if done wrong.
