From 3.1.3 of the brewpi.docs ... The current version of BrewPi doesn’t use MySQL. It is recommended to not install it. If you want MySQL anyway, you can install it with these commands: So you may be able to get around this by either following the manual steps for installing MySQL then...

Rabeb25 .. are you running the install.sh script or following the "manual" instructions? When I hit errors like this I first tried an apt-get install of the package (as root) and then searching the web for solutions if that failed. You may want to search the brewpi forum as well.

I got the Uno connected this weekend. Another steep learning curve. Ultimately I was having a problem with the way the path names and variables in the config.cfg file were getting picked up during the Arduino programming stage. I eneded up just hard coding the paths. I'll take a closer look at...

Finally got BrewPi up on a Wheezy laptop. I was running into problems with the automatic install using the install.sh script. It wasn't finding the rpi-update package (not sure if this is necessary) nor the arduino-core package. I found this link for the rpi-update work around and just did an...

I installed BrewPi on my Ubuntu 12.04 desktop using the manual install instructions. The automatic install threw an error so I went right to manual mode. I say I installed it but I'm not sure since I haven't been able to get the web interface up. Do you have to have an Arduino attached for this...

Right. I'll try the install on my Ubuntu OS. My parts and pieces should be arriving this week so be prepared for some noob-ish questions regarding the solder hacking of the Arduino and relay boards. I brewed two batches this weekend and have them in my crawlspace "sharing" a heating pad...

That's what I'm after. I want to take advantage of the PID approach through Brewpi to reduce the over/under shoots. I've got the Amaazon cart all filled up and ready to order. I'm going to start out using an old IBM Thinkpad instead of going the RPI route. I already have Ubuntu 10.04...

Fuzze got to this first. Anyway, From the Brewpi page ... The Arduino runs the temperature control algorithm autonomously. If you don't care about data logging, it can control your beer without the Rasberry Pi. This makes this combo very stable: if the Raspberry Pi crashes, the Arduino will...

I've been using an STC-1000 for heating my fermenters. As we move out of the sweet spot here in the SE, I was thinking of cobbling together a cooling component to fermentation temp control. Right now I was going to cobble together a water "jacket" type system with a complimentary heating pad...

I'm using tri clamp hardware for my heating elements so I can revert back to using the pots on propane burners for "Big Brews" and brewing at other folks houses. We have sort of a neighborhood group that brews together and we try to share some of the costs of supplies and equipment. Not all...

I'm starting to gather the pieces for an electric HLT setup that will expand to include and electric BK later. Overall, I'm interested in control and improved efficiency (time and power source) more than automation. I've got 220 wired in the garage, spa panel is on the way, etc. I haven't...

Oh man! I totally forgot about the tri clamp giving me my metal to metal connection! Can you tell this is my first foray into tri clover fittings? I haven't picked up the clamp yet and not having it in hand while "dry fitting" everything had me trying to solve a problem that didn't exist. Todd

I'm attaching a heating element to my HLT with a tri clover fitting and have a question about the ground connection. The fitting has a ground post but since the tri clover fitting uses a gasket it seems like I have to include a ground "jumper" to get to the kettle. My first thought was to solder...

Giddyap!
