I've been using an STC-1000 for years for ferm temp control, and would like to upgrade to BrewPi for the additional features and I want to get into the development board game and learn more about them.
I read through a few guides and got the basic idea, however, I'm concerned that the guides are outdated and I would be building a dinosaur. Here is what I have on my shopping list so far...
Buying:
Raspberry Pi 3 w/ starter kit (power adapter, case, etc)
Arduino Uno
2 channel relay
32 GB micro SD card
DS18b20 temp sensors
Already have:
HMDI monitor and cables
USB keyboard and mouse
4.7 kOhm resistor
Wiring, solder, outlets etc
Wifi
My plan is to communicate with the RPi via a laptop and VNC after it's all setup and connected to my home Wifi. This is also how I would access BrewPi's interface to set and check temperatures. I do not plan on using an LCD display, at least not yet.
So what has developments have occurred recently that make my plan obsolete?
Thanks!
