Edit Mode -> Drag switch away from the switch area until it says "Delete" -> Let go -> Wait for refresh
ah! okay, I just posted a bug report to GitHub... I'll go delete it.

Hey all -
I have two suggestions to make to us Elsinore users/thread-readers:
1) Let's start an Elsinore Hardware Implementation thread, unless it'll be so similar to other hardware threads it doesn't merit a unique one - we do have a slightly different beast than some of the other threads I've seen, using a Linux box and 1-wire, but then maybe I just haven't seen the right threads. The thread is getting a little long, however, and we're starting to see the hardware questions leak in, which muddies things IMO.
2) Let's all donate a few bucks to Doug Edey - if we find Elsinore useful, let's give some beer money. Whadayall say?
Doug, if you set up a paypal account, I'd be happy to send something your way.
1) I think the hardware implementation is very similar to a BrewPI, BCS, Brewtroller, or even a PID driven control panel. I'm not opposed to creating or contributing a separate thread (I'm starting my build here shortly.), the real difference is how your might interface to the GPIO Pins on the Pi/Beaglebone. Much like jangevaa, I'm using CAT5 wire and Keystone Jacks/Punch Panels to interface with my RPi2, I just happen have the stuff laying around since I'm a Network Admin.
2) If Doug sets up a Paypal Account for Donations I'd be happy to donate. I think this software is great as is & has a ton of expandability potential as well. Maybe put a link in your forum signature and on the GitHub Page. Or maybe you're in need of some hardware for your own build or for testing new functionality? Who knows, some of us might have some stuff kicking around to ship to you.
Hi Doug or anyone,
I'm having some trouble getting output signals to work when they're associated with temp probes. I'm using the latest build as of today.
I created a custom jgpio file and it seems to be working fine in that I created switches (in the web gui) for each of the pins and I can verify the physical pins toggle on/off.
however, I've deleted the gui switches and have now associated their gpios with temp probes, for controlling a cooling circuit and I can't get the gpio to respond. For testing, I set the controls to "Manual", a duty-cycle of 50% and a duty time of 4 secs, such that, if I understand correctly, I'll have a toggle of the output line every 2 seconds.
I've tried multiple gpios which had previously been associated with switches and which had worked fine in that context. Also, I've been able to make gpios associated with a probe work before, in a previous build of elsinore.
I then removed the gpio from the temp probe (in the web gui) and re-assigned it to a new switch, and I was able to manually turn the i/o on and off, as before.
is there something in the background, related to the switch, which is preventing the temp probe function to operate correctly, even though the switch has been deleted from the gui?
Hello.
It is possible these two implementations?
1 - trigger for a alarm with this Active Buzzer Module:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...&_nkw=active+buzzer+module+raspberry&_sacat=0
2 - implement a button to shut down Elsinore and Power off raspberry Pi.
Greetings.
Just add it as a switched output, and you can set it with a trigger.
import time
from RPi import GPIO
PIN = 23
BUZZER_REPETITIONS = 300
BUZZER_DELAY = 0.0005
PAUSE_TIME = 1.0
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(PIN, GPIO.OUT)
while True:
for _ in xrange(BUZZER_REPETITIONS):
for value in [True, False]:
GPIO.output(PIN, value)
time.sleep(BUZZER_DELAY)
time.sleep(PAUSE_TIME)
I can add a shutdown Elsinore button, but I don't like the idea of shutting down the RPi at the same time, I'll think about it and maybe have it as an optional extra

Hi, everyone. Just started building my brew controller with RPI B+, and was wondering if anyone has used a BrewPi Rev C board for connecting temp probs and SSR's? I cant get the schematics on the original website anymore. I would like to use it instead of a bread board as it already has 4k resistor and connectors for the temp probes plus some LEDs and connectors for the SSRs.

The reason for wanting to use it is because i have one sitting in my cupboard gathering dust. Just thought of putting it to good use if possible. Unless anyone can recommend another cheap and easy alternative.
Thanks
this is what I was talking about... another case for the new, hardware-centric Elsinore thread (still to be created). Doug, do we have your go-ahead? Or am I solving problems that don't exist?
No, you're right, there should be another place to do some of the more specific questions. There is www.reddit.com/r/StrangeBrew/ which may be easier.
Trying to help, will shut up on command....
No need to shut up, I just don't understand why you're asking me for permission, I don't rule what threads you make (I don't think i do at least?) The point is that this is an organic product and you as users can do what you want, one guy is even making money from it.
Sorry if I missed this earlier in the thread... What is the best setting for the boil kettle? Auto or manual. If set to auto I assume I would set it to 212 but I'm confused on what the Duty time and PID settings should be. And since we are on the subject what about the HLT or atleast a good starting point. Thanks of the awesome software!
Why not just use auto to maintain the boil? We haven't had a boilover since switching to SBE and using auto.

Speaking of money, I still think you should put up a donation link in your signature.
im thinking looking at the get status output that when i try and set a cooling pid the web browser is not updating elsinore config file porperly ? or not communicating properly with elsinore as the duty is still showing 0 when it should be 100 ? but also the output on the web ui also shows 0 so maybe the command is not getting passed to elsinore when the cooling pid id set ? ive tried firefox chrome and ie with no luck. but to be honest ive learnt loads in the last few months playing with the pi but im still clueless !!
mike
Some people just wont take any credit
Ive all but begged Elco to give me a paypal link so i can add it to my DIY BrewPi thread but never get a response
The issue is when someone pays money they start demanding service and support even though no support contract has been decided. I have updated my signature with my paypal address so people can send me donations, but to have a donation link requires a business account which I do not want to pay for or manage.
Is your cooling GPIO GPIO22?Hi doug
i am using gpio22 for a pid which is currently called fridge
in hysteria heating mode with output inverted it works with no problems
when i try and change from heating mode to cooling i get the following on the server screen and cooling doesnt work
Apr 18, 2015 9:45:43 PM com.sb.elsinore.UrlEndpoints editVessel
WARNING: Updated temp name Fridge
Could not find definitions file at: extras/gpio_definitions_lookup.xml
No definitions file found, assuming direct mapping
Apr 18, 2015 9:45:43 PM com.sb.elsinore.UrlEndpoints editVessel
WARNING: Create PID
any help ?
Cheers
mike
