I'm about to screw this up tomorrow using an old laptop... wish me luck. I'll try to chronicle the process for troubleshooting.

I think I understand why one would want to do this, but I expect it would require some significant user-generated code on the host (RPi) side as there's no native support for it...

[New Question]
Has anyone setup the BrewPi to use an LCD (20x4)? I've seen the mega thread that utilized the LCD connected to the Arduino Uno however, for practical reasons, I'd prefer to run it off of the RaspberryPi. Connecting it seems easy enough based on the tutorials I've studied but I don't know how to get the info onto the screen (the same info that is shown on the LCDs that are connected to the Arduino Uno in the above-referenced example).
Any ideas? Thank you!
Yep, I run my pi with no monitor for much of the time. You can access everything remotely through your computer of choice on your network or even over the internet if you set your router up correctly. You can even do all of the setup via ssh.So, is this likely to be stable enough to tuck away the Raspberry Pi away in an enclosure and do everything through a webserver? I'm sort of dreading the idea of occasionally dragging out a monitor and keyboard to reboot/relaunch software/etc.
To my knowledge, 0.2.11 was only available for the Spark and not for Arduino. I think Elko stopped updating the Arduino branch once the Spark came out.Anybody have the 0.2.11 hex for arduino? Need to calibrate my sensors and that doesn't work in 0.2.10.
0.2.10 is the last version that supports arduino as the pulled a lot of the arduino code out in 0.2.11 as part of the decision to only support spark moving forward.Anybody have the 0.2.11 hex for arduino? Need to calibrate my sensors and that doesn't work in 0.2.10.

You can get the temp probe calibration feature by migrating to Fermentrack, though. @Thorrak built that functionality into the software.
I think there is also a way to do it outside of the hex, but I'm at work and don't have my notes available on that.

I did "roll my own" hex file that merged in the two bug fixes that never made it to the arduino builds, but I customised the LCD text to suit my non standard setup, so probably won't suit yours (Fridge -> Glycol, Door open -> Pump off).
I can roll you one with standard text if it's just the bug fixes you are after?
Cheers,

Sure, give me a couple of hours, I'll post a link once I'm at my desk (it's only 6am here in Oz so I'm still on my first coffee).That would be awesome if you could do that [emoji3]

Fermentrack is an updated web interface that uses the Brewpi hardware and scripts to run. When you are between brews, give it a try.Thanks [emoji4]
I'll have a look at fermtrack. Is it just as good as brewpi?
Too bad they stopped supporting Arduino since it works fine and I don't want to spend a bunch of money on the new brewpi yet. Bought three new sensors from brewpi and one is off by about 1 °C so would be nice to calibrate it.
Then it'll be ready when you get up tomorrow [emoji1]Thanks [emoji3]
It's almost bedtime in Norway [emoji42]

Those steps look correct. Does your log file show the calibration steps?
It's been so long since I did BrewPi probe calibration I can't remember if the log file shows anything happening with each input.
What were the two bugs that were fixed, please?
Also, does your firmware include the automatic LCD refresh code that someone here came up with years ago?
Cheers!
- def->calibrationAdjust = fixed4_4(parsedVal)>>(TEMP_FIXED_POINT_BITS - CALIBRATION_OFFSET_PRECISION);
+ def->calibrationAdjust = fixed4_4(parsedVal>>(TEMP_FIXED_POINT_BITS - CALIBRATION_OFFSET_PRECISION));
- #include "BrewPi.h"
+ #include "Brewpi.h"
Yeah, it's amazing the trouble a closing bracket and capital h can get up to if left to their own devices...Thanks! And wow, even with both pairs of lines right there it took awhile to see the actual errors.
Not surprised those snuck by
Cheers!
I use my stc1000+ to control a crock pot. You can use an aquarium air pump to help move the water around. Not my setup https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/stc-1000.464348/https://cookingcircuits.com/home/2014/1/22/25-sous-vide-controllerI want to build a sous vide for my wife who is a trained chef. I can't follow the original post because so many links and photos are missing. I will likely go about it by researching all I can find and design my own method. I will likely do it similar to the cooler based MLTs I have made, using a PID for control.
What I don't get is why is there a need for a arduino or Raspberry Pi?
I don't need internet control or to graph my temps. I just want to be able to control my water temps within a few degrees, would a PID controlled immersion water heater be able to do that?
Hello there, Let me first start by offering a big "Thank you" for starting this thread. I've studied your post on creating a DIY brewpi. Working largley off your instructions I've had some success. I've been able to connect my "BrewPi" build and see my temperature probes and read temperatures correctly. I'm having some difficulty seeing and confirming that my relays are working. I've checked the connections and I think they are correct and solid. However, when I set the brewpi to constant beer and set a beer temperature above or below the probe temperature I don't hear the relay kick in nor do I see any LED light on the relay board. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide feedback.Still going i see, good! Been super busy with Baby 2.0 and havent had any time to brew lately, soon i hope!
