So, I have the Pi and a breakout board built. I have a breadboard and wires. I should have everything I need.
Yet the longer I sit here fiddling with bits of wire, the more I realize:
I'm starting to think that I may have damaged my pi. If I hook my multimeter to 3.3v and any GPIO pin, I get 0.0v. It still runs fine, and when I run the pin test in wiringPi it checks out ok. Any ideas?
you bastards! I don't even keg and I want to run out and get a Rpi to play with this.... How do I mod it for a fridge full of bottles?
And you've already got someone posting an XKCD link... You've made it!
Such great pains that we might miss our target launch date. Oh well.
Lucky you I had to pay $21+$20 postageSo I am having a difficult time with this ebay guy, he wont sell me them (The flow meters) for any less than $20.10 WTH!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so here is my firehose =)
Man the Raspberry Pi is fun. I like loading Cygwin and OpenSSH for remote access, that way you can SSH and redirect the X server through your SSH session and not worry about the security. You see SSH open on a few more firewalls than you see VNC as well. That way I can also SFTP the files, but it really is the choice of a Unix geek to do it that way.
The difference between the Beer table and Taps table confused me at first. I read your intent over on GitHub, and you have definitely got the right idea. Storing the recipe targets and overriding makes sense for repeat brewers.
Additionally I missed what the default admin account password is in the Raspberry Pints admin panel, though I suppose I could drop another hash in their as well. I created a new account as was mentioned in an earlier post.
Your admin interface looks great, but the table layout is so clear that I didn't need it.
I see you had testing at 1200 x 1920 as an open Item, I can tell you it looks good with the limited data I have entered. However if you are using a test suite I don't know.
The build guide seems to lack spaces after switches in the MySQL commands, I tried cutting and pasting directly in the SSH window and noticed that.
I ordered a Vesa mount and donated a monitor from my desk. I have it all mounted in the brewery \ taproom \ basement =). I'll post some pics later.
I was thinking about picking up the Pi Dish or Pi Cobbler used by the adafruit KegBot folks, but I realize this still means nothing is buffering the I/O. I was a little unhappy to see that their circuit diagram does not actually contain anything other that a distant 3/4 angle photograph =(. I'll look in their forums since their sensors are 5volt as well.

How long before the tutorial that will allow me to build this, even though I have absolutely no idea what this guy is talking about? I really want one, but man I have no clue about any of this.
I have to say this appears to be the best organized major project I have seen on HBT. Just wanted to say thanks to those contributing
I see the IBU logo has changed.. is that old or new?
Here is my setup
Since I only have 5 taps ATM, I like landscape better.
We're shooting for a 20 Feb 14 release date on v1.0.0.
Thats the date we'll go live with step-by-step instructions.
I may push the materials list a few days earlier for anybody interested in ordering parts.

Will the release be able to be displayed on this type of monitor? I've only got 4 taps and no plans on expanding, so the other monitor is far too big for that need.
rabeb, what monitor/tv is that? Model#/link? Thanks!
Guys, will this project be something that someone with no electrical background and no familiarity with circuits be able to put together and use?

The bezel looks like a Samsung, but I could be wrong. The only reason I used a monster monitor is I wanted to add a TV to my bar area, and my desk was too crowded with dual monitors.
The Pi can be headless and you could use a cheap tablet with a browser if you liked as long as you have Wifi. If you don't need flow meters or other I/O and can supply a screen, All you need is a Pi, A micro usb charger from an old phone, an SD card, and maybe a video cable and something for data entry. If you add a wireless adapter, you can maintain it from a web browser on your network and probably don't require the mouse, keyboard and attached monitor except for when performing upgrades.
Oh my gosh, after writing this post I finally found a use for my blackberry playbook.
