My Raspberry Pints has been working beautifully until tonight..... I rebooted because my wifi wasn't connecting and it started up with this message "can't access tty:job control turned off". Did my SD card crash? I have googled the problem, and it says something about the pi going into safe...

ChrisL_ I would really like to try your programming to have my flowmeters kick my screen on after taking a pour. and stay on for an hour or so... I see where you have the coding all listed, but could you elaborate a little more as to what file I have to edit and add this "code"? I need...

I'm sure you all are quite aware, but I hooked up my pi 2 B+ to the alamode tonight and it works great! there are 26 pins on the alamode and 40 on the pi 2, but it works great.... CONSIDERABLY faster updating pours.

I'm not sure if I can use the alamode board on the Pi 2. There are 40 pins on the Pi 2. anybody know if you can still plug an alamode into a pi 2?

Wanger, I orginally bought the pi that the raspberrypints page linked to (pi B). Just set up the pi 2 b plus tonight. It is considerably faster! I am going to set up the wifi and plug in the alamode in the next couple days. I'll let you know how it works out.

I'm better at learning how to program this thing after a few beers. I was forgetting to hit the Upload button after verifying. Got it to work. Anyway, thank you day_tripper for your help. And thank you developers. This is a bad ass install. I got mine up and fully functional! It is a...

Hi everyone, I have 5 taps, and was having weird readings from pins 11,12 so I decided to try some different pins. after troubleshooting I have found that raspberrypints is still looking to the original pins I set up and not to the ones I changed them to. I will list the steps I followed to...

Hi everyone, Just getting my system up and running. I have 5 taps and utlized pins 8,9,10,11,12 on my alamode. After having some crazy readings from my 4th and 5th meter, I did some troubshooting and realize that it is the 11th and 12th pins on my alamode. 8,9,10 work perfectly. I was...

Getting closer to having my raspberrypints functional! I am having trouble getting the background to change on my taplist. When I upload a picture for the background it is visible when I view my taplist from my iphone and ipad, but from a PC or Mac it just has the standard background...

thank you day_trippr. I tried the commands individually and got it to respond with a similar readout I think I am ready to hook up the flow meters. Just waiting for them to arrive. hopefully faster that the 15 business days I was quoted. I appreciate the help! Cheers!

day_trippr. Thank you for your quick response. I absolutely intially downloaded and installed 2.0.1. I tried the first command: ls /var/www/python. And got exactly what you stated. flowmon flow_monitor.py I then: $ sudo /etc/init.d/flowmon status and got [ok]...

Hello everybody. Just got my alamode soldiered last night and following the directions to get everything up and running. I'm on step 9, and testing the flowmon by typing in: $ sudo /etc/init.d/flowmon start $ ps aux | grep flow_monitor.py The directions state that I should get this...

Just wanted to add my experience. I just got two Perlick 525SS for Christmas to replace some "sticky" faucets that were on my home built kegerator (not sure of brand). They were the standard non SS ones that worked, but were always binding. I tried in the 525SS to the shank and also...

Wine yeast has not done much to finish this beer, but I have since found that my hydrometer is about .004 off! So it is actually now closer to 1.020, which seems more reasonable.

My local homebrew store suggested pitching a wine yeast to finish the beer a bit further, since I don't want to be stuck at 1.026. I took about 3 ounces of wort and "swirled" in some D47 into a sanitized pint glass. Agitated it for a few minutes and pitched in into my secondary carboy. So I'm...
