    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    I am giving that thing even odds of being toast or working. But the weird thing is that I get the - 428.8 F even if I disconnect the board. So I'm thinking it is more likely software side at the moment. Are there any additional software steps besides installing craftbeerpi and the addon, and...

    I need help... So I have built out my CraftBeerPi brew controller and am using an RTD probe (because mistakes were made) since finding out that it is not supported by default I bought and soldered in a max31865 board as an amplifier. However I am now trying to insert the new code into my...
