ThanksI don't... You could call them and see if they can do a custom easily enough. I think another brand does 100 A - like http://a.co/46UNa6I.

I built a 120a panel and am using 2 of the 50a current sensors Brundog recommended. The specs seem to indicate it does in fact measure more than 50 amps of draw though I won't know until I have it in useThe one you recommend seems only to go 50A. Do you know of any that goes to 60A?
This is the one I found it cost quite a bit more $55.I built a 120a panel and am using 2 of the 50a current sensors Brundog recommended. The specs seem to indicate it does in fact measure more than 50 amps of draw though I won't know until I have it in use
I looked through many pages of specs on different units but found only a few that might work..
I found the 50 cr magnetics ones with mount for like $17 if I remember correctly on amazon.. Ebay also had a could used ones.
Update: I've tried everything I can think of. I removed the screwshield, and tried a second W5100. The lights respond to network traffic. I'm not having any issues flashing the firmware or configuring the network settings. I truly believe it is an issue with the W5100 transmit pin. My network will not recognize it. I can not ping it. I will order the W5500 and let you know how it goes.
good to note. with the design changes I made I really shouldnt ever pull more than 50 amp through each circuit.I would be careful putting more than 50A through a 50A unit. If the max output is not capped at 5 V, you could overload your analog input pin.

Brundog, I have a question and please forgive if it’s dumb.
Is it possible to connect the BruControl host straight to lets say a Mega with the ethernet shield using a crossover cable?
Reason is, my comcrap internet is on and off multiple times a day which includes very piss poor signal most of the time, this is not related to the location, I mean the actual speed from comcrap, so back to the question, my comp is inside in the a/c, my kegerator and brew area is in the garage, I really don’t want to keep the comp out there connected via usb, but wireless and wired internet is unreliable and slow, so I was wondering about kinda bastardizing the two?
Anyone try this?

Brundog,
On an unrelated note... Im using the output from the arduino to to control up to 4 ssrs at a time should I be concerned about the MA output not being enough? I have been wondering if I should use a single smaller arduino SSR board with a 2a SSR to power the other groups of solid state relays? the control current of the ssrs im using are each rated at 5-25MA. With the other inputs and outputs do you think ill be overtaxing my mega?

BrunDog the W5500 works flawlessly. I don't know if anyone else had problems with the W5100 (511 models), but if so you might want to mention it in your website, or manual. Thanks
Problem is we don’t have active low on all the output based algorithms yet.
I would love to see if it works, I can't find the W5500 shield for less than $23 shipped. I would prefer this for $12.Ok so you folks are going to make me be the guinea pig, ok I’m game lol. I would like to hear if Brundog sees any reason why one of those wouldn’t work in BruControl though?
The electrician should be putting in my 60a circuits today at the brewpub... getting excited to get this thing operational and also anxiously anticipating the release of version 1.1.
(4) 5500w elements in each kettle and 4400w worth of elements in my rims. When the rims is on ,one of the elements in the HLT goes off. We are currently limited to a small 200a single phase service. Technically I could have run the rims elements each off one circuit along with 2 elements off each at the same time but I wanted to have room for the pumps and such as well as not maxing out power.Whats your plan for heating your kettle and how much power are you directing to it? Using multiple 5500watt elements I assume (given the 60a circuits)?
