New Control Panel

[Hugh Jasper]

I thought I was advanced by adding a lever to my single burner so that I don't have to adjust the gas valve with a wrench. That panel is awsome.

These are kick ass. They even come with a five foot thermister probe.

When I build my I'll give you full credit for stealing your idea. But now I'm gonna gather up all my Jameco magazines and burn 'em. I bet you could sell the shit out of these things. Nice.

I'd like to see your schematics.

Here you go:

What purpose does the AC Voltage meter play?

Fluff.

Did you use a 555 timer for the time remaining panel?

I modified a kit from here: http://www.canakit.net/Contents/Items/CK247.asp

The HLT and mash tun panels are sweet. Are they PIC progammed.

How are you gonna integrate your thermometers into these PIC panels?

They feed into thermowells in the HLT and Mash Tun through XLR connectors

The face plate looks powder coated. Nice job on the counter-sunk mount holes. How did you impose the controls labeling?

Actually it's 12 guage aluminum with a coat of primer, 2 coats of flat black, silk-screened lettering and 5 coats of satin polycrylic clear coat.

The pump on led seems redundant with the ledded power switch.

It is. Fluff it up some more.

now I really feel stupid. I just liked all the bright light things.

Shit-Howdy! Me too!

I'm being hammered for a how-to. When I finish documenting it I will post it here.

Brew it and then

I was going to comment on the AC voltmeter. But hey, if I had it laying around I'd add it too just 'cause it looks cool.

For panels (cutouts, etc.) think http://www.frontpanelexpress.com, those guys are amazingly cheap for professionally cut & finished metal stock.

Nice job!

Good Lord,

If you switch that thing on, you will find yourself travelling into the far distant future and headed for a spot of trouble with the Daleks

Push's new Mash Tun??



Seriously, I wish I had the knowhow to build something like that control panel. Impressive!

I am NOT that good at this stuff; serously. I took a four-week basic electronics maintenance course in college 15 years ago.

If you want to do anything like it and need help just let me know; I'm in. I am truly more than willing to help you with it.

BTW, here's one we did for Sven a few weeks ago for his stand:



As always,

C-fool! Wow, that place rocks. I wish I had known about that a month ago!

I'll replicate the panel there and see what it would have cost (saved) me to go that route.

Thanks,

Push Eject,

How do you control the remp in the mash-tun. Do you use electrical heating, RMS/HERMS or a regulated gas burner?
