Is there a Thread here on HBT, to showcase everyone's enclosures ?
I just wire everything up on my bench, the put the mess into a shoe-box, shake it up, and it looks great!
There are some links on the original FuzzeWuzze post. This is one that Donnie designed and I printed up a while back:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3416312
It holds the Arduino, LCD, switches, knob, LCD's, power outlets for heat/cool, RJ-11 outlet for sensors, power switch, power supply ... I think that's it. The only thing that's not in the box is the RPi and the fridge.
So, if you ever want to make someone that is relatively intelligent feel confused, have them try to set up a brewpi fermentation controller. Especially if they have never used or seen a raspberry pi in person, and have no idea what half of this stuff means. I am so lost right now. :/
Verboten, you are right this is like drinking from a fire-hose. There have been a lot of "all-inclusive" posts, stories, wikis, etc. None of them are completely current right now. I have about 75% of one done that is BrewPi specific that takes you from Amazon to Amazing (yes I just made that up.)
If you are
truly starting at "0", buy yourself a Raspberry Pi.
This link gets you a great deal on all the little things you will need with it for $79.99:
- Raspberry Pi 3B + (quad core, newest, etc)
- 32 Gb SD card
- Micro SD card reader
- Power Supply with switch
- Heat Sinks
- Case
- HDMI Cable
Get it, plug it in, play with it. For a couple days don't even worry about the BrewPi portion of it. After you are semi-comfortable logging in, applying updates, navigating around, etc., we should have something for you to follow beginning to end.
If you need to save some dollars, you can go with a Pi Zero W (single core processor, smaller, etc.). I would recommend
this kit which is similar to the above. You'd need to add a micro SD card reader (which is what you use to read/write the card on your PC) I think, I don't see any kits which have one included.
