Just got home from work and did a little investigating.
Power supply was dead, took the D1 mini out with it... back to zero I guess...
It's been a very discouraging 24 hours
I believe it may be the power supply, could also be the sensors on top of that. I read in a thread that sensors sourced on the cheap may not be as reliable as ones through adafruit, so I broke out the wallet and will give them a try.
What is vexing, however, is that This is the power supply I...
I did a quick power calc this morning, I've been using a 5v 2A supplyand I'm looking at a total draw around .85 amps. (.02A relay driver, .16A LCD display, .15A 8266 controller, .26A x2 for fans) Finding the 2A supply made me go with whatever I could find on Amazon, probably just a garbage unit...
Just wanted to check in, it's been a while since I've been back. I've found some more time to work in the last few weeks and thought I was finished with the build... and then last night happened...
When I first got the controller up and running a week ago, I had my temperature probes fail. No...
Interesting idea, My thought was that since I'm using a heating blanket around the carboy that the fans would only be helpful on the cooling cycle. Seem like they would possibly draw away heat from the blanket during heating, may not be a huge difference though. Maybe I'll put a switch on the...
Excellent idea, I've been trying to figure out a solution for the light and that sounds perfect. I'm not sure where to start with using that pin and how to implement it though.
I have table'd that thought for now as I need to make more beer and need to get the basics working and tested.
There...
Alright, after a few weeks of neglecting this project due to my job requiring 70 hour weeks, I'm starting to move on. Here is the original wiring diagram from the back of the wine cooler I am modifying.
And here is what I have planned as far as my power supply section. The four...
So, hopefully this is not too off-topic, but I wanted to post this here as I'm using this version of the BrewPi script.
My plan was to set up Pi-Hole on the same Pi that I use for my BrewPi Server. When I installed Pi-Hole, the web server for BrewPi will no longer load.
Pi-Hole was...
Thanks! I'm flattered.
I should clarify that I do have mild experience with the Pi (played around with them off and on for a few years, but haven't actually done anything with them until I built a RetroPie 3 weeks ago), and I have soldered before, but never this amount.
This is definitely...
I have had a very productive weekend on this project.
Got my D1 Mini in the mail and re-configured to use that. Set up my prototype and managed to get the software side working.
Then I spent the entirety of my Saturday night building a circuit board for everything. I split the board...
I went back and tried with my girlfriends laptop, worked just like it should have. I wonder if I wasn't getting it because of my network settings on my computer, or the "HTTPS Everywhere" add-on. It's strange, however, that it still didn't work when I entered the IP address directly either...
Thanks for the followup! I definitely didn't expect this step to be the holdup. I'm pretty new to a lot of this, so the auto-install scripts were really helpful and worked like a charm once I found the right directories.
I'm running the latest update of OSX (Sierra).
When I originally...
Hi guys,
I've been following this project for a while and decided it's time to create an account and tackle it. First of all, A big THANK YOU to Thorrak et. al. for the hard work in making this so simple to get loaded and installed.
I have a hang-up with the v0.8 firmware, however, and I'm...
