@Thorrak Took delivery of a 3.5" Nextion TFT display yesterday. Just having a play around with the GUI software and initial results look promising :rock: I got a lot on at the moment but when I get round to it I will start looking at the LCD code on the ESP8266 for BrewPi.

@Bigdaddyale I had the same issue and ran the following to get back up and running: curl -L install-gravity-support.fermentrack.com | sudo bash Although I'd be interested to know what your issue was. The log is in the same directory as the upgrade.sh script. Off the top of my head...

@Cougar281 Tube heaters are what are commonly used for heating, at least here in the UK: https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Heating+%26+Insulation/d230/Electric+Heaters+%26+Dryers/sd3168/Tubular+Heater/p32265

Last update has gone without issue. Only change i made is to revert to allowing IPV6. My earlier WiFi connection issues seems to be down to a dodgy powerline plug :-/ The LCD reset firmware is going great by the way, no screen scramble. I'll post my log if I encounter an update issue again.

Last few times I've triggered an update it fails and from the IP in the browser I'm left with: 502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.6.2 When I've then forced an upgrade via ssh I get stuck at: Updating requirements via pip... Last time I resorted to running: curl -L install-gravity-support.fermentrack.com...

That power supply was the first one I had. Before using it I tested the outputs on a multimeter and the voltage was not stable at all, it was all over the place. I didn't use it and bought a different one. This is the PSU I'm now using, it's compact and cheap...

I'm using an ESP8266 setup and what I would try is erasing the flash on the ESP8266 and then try to flash it again, followed by a EEPROM reset. Could you try that on the Arduino? I have experienced the same as you and a EEPROM reset solved it. However, a bad flash to the ESP8266 and the script...

Underneath the control constants there is a reset eeprom button. Have you tried that? Once you press it you should have the control constants defaults but you'll have to re-assign the chamber and beer probes etc.

@Thorrak Can you take a look at this when you get 5 mins :) Thanks very much. Alex

First thing I would check is the pinouts. They differ from the 1st post in this thread. Check fermentrack.com

@Thorrak I think I've got my environment set up correctly. As a test I just imported the legacy-platformio from git and built the bin without changing any code. The resulting bin was different in size to the one on git. This is the output from the platformio terminal http://txt.do/dmnxy does it...

Great! Thanks for the pointers. I've only used Arduino IDE up until now so I'll take a look at those. I've got a VBA background so I'm up for a challenge. I'm hoping I can pick it up!

@Thorrak what software/tools do you use to modify/build the firmware bin file for the ESP? I was taking a look at the source code on git and wondered where to start if I wanted to make my own modification. I'm eager to try an LCD reset loop.

@Thorrak I'm not sure if you want to make this change a default, it's something I came across when disabling IPV6 on the Pi. I disabled IPV6 by adding ipv6.disable=1 to the end of the file /boot/cmdline.txt However, as nginx was still trying to listen for an IPV6 connection the Fermentrack...

I'm running Jessie Lite on my Pi Zero. If you are seeing no, or less, screen scramble it is because your chamber is mostly heating at this time of year instead of cooling due to ambient temperature. Mine is the same.

DNS all good now!

Yep still have screen scramble. Only when the fridge cycles, never the heater. Native LCD refresh is on thorrak's list for the next controller firmware. This is the only issue a lot of us have but it is known. @Thorrak fermentrack.com still down on Google DNS.

All good here, dashboard now working.
