    Australia and US element wiring

    Hi, Apologies if I should have been able to find this already. I'm trying to design an electric brewery that will work both in the US and in Australia and Europe, so that I didn't have to build separate units for different coountries. At the moment, here in Australia, I'm using a 240V 1900W...

    Oh yes - use python. (If I have to learn a language then it seems that's the one.)

    I'm not looking for level sensing either, and I think that falls into the 'big bang' category.

    Here's an option to avoid using/expense of the one-wire bus at all, but still get +/-.25C accuracy. http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/1207/how-to-measure-temperature The spec sheet link on the page indicates a max of +/-1C variation, but perhaps testing a few and picking the most...

    Hey goingmad, you sure about that brewtroller link? Not working for me right now.

    Fair enough Brewman and Kladue. Look forward to seeing what you develop. Cheers.

    I agree about getting something up and going and not going for the ultimate controller. But I'd like to say: Having worked in a para-it role, interfacing between business and IT to develop solutions, I have learned the hard way to have a vision and functional architecture to work to. Without it...

    If the UI is intended as a Web Page, then the only one I know, and know reasonably well is the BCS460. The other UI I've seen a little of is the Brewtroller, but the rotary encoder and smallish LCD display is frankly a big reason to go Web UI in the first place, and I wonder if referencing such...

    Sounds great. I'm looking for a way I can contribute - but I'm not technical. That said, I have some experience in usability and functional requirements gathering, with access to a top guy working in the field, and could offer work on the UI side. Otherwise, I can cheer from the sidelines. Let...

    Just trying to get my head around the options. Brewman, as you may remember from previous post, I sympathise with using R Pi standalone. If I understand correctly, on the hardware side, the R Pi, the one wire adapter, and a relay board are the hardware needed to provide temp input and control...

    Raspberry Pi Temp Controller

    Actually, with more research, I can better see why brewman has gone the R PI / Arduino combo. Just getting a reliable interface to a relay board means some kind of intermediary board. In which case why not use a dirt cheap Arduino (I can get an uno for under $20) and benefit from all the...

    Check out this Raspberry PI mod, the Hackberry, which has wifi on board, and extra memory: https://www.miniand.com/products/Hackberry%20A10%20Developer%20Board
