    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    OK, essentially there are 2 parts: The part that takes a pic every "however" long. And the part that sticks it on the webpage. Taking the pic: Plug in your webcam. In terminal, type "lsusb", check that the webcam shows up. To take a pic, type the following: streamer -f jpeg -o image.jpeg If...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I had an old webcam lying around, so I hooked it up and set up a cronjob to take a pic every 10 seconds. I then edited the index.php file to add the picture (and refresh it every 10s) at the bottom of the page. Now I can watch the bubbles without opening the fridge :) Living the dream...

    California Common California Common (Anchor Steam Clone) Extract and AG

    Here in South Africa we're pretty much limited to dry yeast, unfortunately. So my choices are Saflager W34/70 or Saflager S23. Any thoughts on those?

    What would the ideal fermentation profile for this beer be? Just got my BrewPi fridge set up and thinking of brewing this to take advantage of the fine grained control I've now got.

    You can assign whatever function you like to pins 2,4,5,6 in the Device Configuration page. The defaults there are merely suggestions.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    It's alive! After much soldering, poking of fingers, and scratching of heads, my BrewPi fridge is doing its first test run (with the ever important task of regulating the temperature of a glass of water :D) Here are some pics: All the various components: Arduino getting wired up: My sensor...

    Yeah, obviously just moving stuff around whilst assembling. Will move it to the shed to sit on top of the fridge tomorrow.

    wow, that worked. Restarted the host PC and all went back to normal. Weird, but good (I suppose) Thanks!

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    My brewpi is working well, apart from one issue: The Brewpi operates fine, until it is disconnected and reconnected to the computer. Then, once the script restarts, I see the following: "Could not receive version from Arduino Please (re)program your Arduino" Log: Jul 12 2014 19:00:01...

    5 weeks in the bottle and I think this thing is peaking. The smell is amazing.

    Cool, thanks! I'm giving my fingers a recovery day (1x soldering iron burn and many wire pokes) so will try this out soon.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I tried that (briefly, admittedly) but it was behaving somewhat strangely. I'd choose "Unassigned" in all the right boxes, then click "Apply" for that sensor. But when I hit "Refresh", all the sensors were still assigned (and 2/3 still had 'null' values). Will try source a 9/12V wall wart...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Whew, what a day. Took me about 4 hours to wire everything up. I think it's all good now, but getting intermittent "null" values from the temp sensors, which I'm lead to believe is due to dodgy power issues (I'm currently powering the arduino via usb from my PC). Will procure a 12V supply and...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Yeah, it's not secure. I can, very easily, do any of the following: -Stop the script -Create a new profile -Set the beer temp to an arbitrary level (think high or low) -Turn off the settings altogether. I've PM-ed you details on how to do this, don't want to make it public until you've...

    I "may" have stopped your script, please check.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    OK, proving more tricky than it first appeared (this is a good thing). Will keep trying, but looks secure so far.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I'm pretty sure I can get your Brewpi to start a new profile without logging in. I won't do it unless you're happy for me to try, but I think the code is available to be called.

    I haven't gone through your final answer thoroughly yet, so I'm not sure if you answered this question. I'd suggest looking at this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3466802/deny-ajax-file-access-using-htaccess The "good" part of the first answer should contain everything you need to...
