    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Haven't checked the connectors yet, but will do that. The problem is that all the configuration gets lost, even the heating and cooling relay pins

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Hi, I've been running the latest docker version of fermentrack. I have an Uno connected to a pair of relays to control my fermentation chamber. It has now been three times I check in on the chamber and the controller has lost all its temp sensor and pin settings stopping any cooling. I have...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Just an update. I've reinstalled 3-4 time now with the same result. The trick that SalParadise described seemed to almost work. However, after running the second time the containers would not come up. I had to run install.sh as root. This problem seems to be isolated to the Raspberri Pi. I did a...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Hi, After successfully setting up fermentrack on my old laptop, I was asked to set it up on a Raspberry Pi 4 for a friend. On a fresh install of raspberry OS, all updates done, and using the docker curl script, I am constantly getting display problems as seen in the screenshot below. I get...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Just an update with regards to my previous post. I decided to throw in the towel and installed Raspberri Pi OS on my netbook. This seems to have resolved all my problems. (Thanks Lubuntu for the headache) I do have one minor annoyance. Every second reboot or so, the Tilt is not picked up in the...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    @Thorrak I used the command you provided above, but added a sudo before bash as follows: curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thorrak/fermentrack-tools/docker/automated_install/auto-install.sh | sudo bash Looking at that bug, it seems a solution would be to install docker-ce, but that...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Got my Bluetooth adapter today and can read my Tilt without any problems. However, I do seem to have a problem where I cannot access the user interface after rebooting. If I run docker-update.sh I can access it once a again. I suspect there is something not getting put into he startup programs...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Seems to be working OK so far. I will be getting a USB Bluetooth dongle to add to my netbook soon. Will I be able to get this to work with the Docker install to read my Tilt? Or will I need to build a TildBridge?

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Saw this post just as I wanted to get Fermentrack up and running and I thought great. I have an old Atom powered netbook that is running Lubuntu 18.04 and ran the above script. Things went well until I got this message: Pulling django (jdbeeler/fermentrack:latest)... latest: Pulling from...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Teaches more to assume I found a unique solution and not bothering to use the search function..... Good to know that solution is feasible, I will plan my buikd with this in mind.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hi all, I'm interested in using BruControl on my next label build. I would like to keep the control PC, display, and arduino interface all in the main panel. I have come across SBCs that can run windows and have an integrated arduino coprocessor (like the Odysee X86J4105800). This id's an...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Thanks for the quick advise and sharing your experience. So far I have only used SSRs with a RaspberryPI and some transistor circuits. Knowing the Mega can do 40ma is good to know and should be fine for firing 2 SSRs. I'll check the current draw when I start building a panel for BruControl...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I was just wondering how you wire your element SSRs to the Mega. Do you just wire the MEGA's output directly to the SSR? Most element SSRs I find seem to draw more than the recommended 5ma listed on the schematics. Would it be a better idea to have some sort of signal converter to 12V...
