    11mm for the HENAO board and a RPi 2B v1.1. Presume the same for the toadyus board.

    White Labs Yeast Vault

    I ordered 4 strains. I received an email for each advising my card had been charged. For 3 out of 4 I received a shipping notice. For 2 out of 4 I received a USPS tracking number. If I login to my account, all 4 still show a status of pending. White Labs has some opportunities for...

    White Labs Yeast Vault

    From The Vault FAQ on Whitelabs.com: Can I get the price after the pre-sale ends? No. The pre-order price is only available until the strain goes into production. After which it may be available in stores for a limited time and only after Vault customers receive their yeast. Please sign up...

    Do you need a 1 off Stainless part built for your system? Let's discuss it.

    My preference would be to find a swivel version. Whomever brings one on the market will sell more than just a few when the word gets out.

    Do you need a 1 off Stainless part built for your system? Let's discuss it.

    The brass ones, at least on Amazon, are leaded brass, which I prefer to not use. I found two in stainless online, but I'm not certain what is the exact type of flare used on the corny quick disconnects? Is it SAE-45, JIC-37, or something else? I also plan to combine with an order for one of...

    You are correct, the CBP board back feeds power to the Raspi through the GPIO pins. Do NOT power the Raspi through the USB power socket at the same time! The point I was trying to make is that it is not a good practice to kill power to a Raspi if you run the full OS from a SD card. Yo'll want...

    Will your power input be hard wired or pluggable? If hard wired, I'd consider a keyed or some sort of latching switch feeding the 12v power supply. This might help prevent cutting power to the Raspi through an inadvertent flip of the switch, which could lead to data corruption of the SD card...

    Try gpio25; that's what he used on earlier designs. I'm not at home right now, so can't check my board. Just received mine and haven't had a chance to fire it up yet, so don't know for sure.

    Jay, how about a 1/4" FFL to 1/4" male NPT adapter for connecting a QD to a 1/4" tee for use as a Spunding valve? They seem to be the unicorns of the homebrew world. Alt

    http://www.newark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=15003&langId=-1&urlRequestType=Base&partNumber=04R9678&storeId=10194 This is what I purchased. Haven't completed my build, so can't say yet if I made the right choice. Per specs it looks to be good.

    Guess I should have procrastinated a bit longer before ordering an IoT pHat last month. Then again if production is a slow as the original Zero launch, they may be scarce for awhile. But it will occupying minimal space, which is what I need to get everything into the Auber case I also bought...

    I'm planning to use these UL listed relays inside my controller box for switching the line power to my pumps. http://www.newark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=15003&langId=-1&urlRequestType=Base&partNumber=92F3729&storeId=10194#productGroups I bought the 12v panel...

    @Abyssal Which version CBP are you running? There's an issue posted on Github with reports of PIFace no longer working after upgrade to CBP 2.2.

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    @Ph03n1X1: Try switching your relays to GPIOs 9 thru 26 on the Pi and see if the relays start in their 'on' state. GPIOs 2 thru 8 default to a high pull up at power-on reset of the Pi. When the GPIOs are activated as outputs by software, they drop low until commanded high. This could...

    @ame: Are you using a board with the blue Songle relays or one with the dark grey Omron relays?

    @ame: Simple solution, good to know. Should work for CBP too as long as it doesn't force GPIO to active high within its own code, something to test later this weekend. Thanks!

    Here's a simple circuit that will allow the Pi's GPIO to pull the Sainsmart inputs low for proper operation.

    I thought the purpose of using a solid state relay (SSR) instead of a standard one was so that you eliminated mechanical contacts from the relay. This increases the speed of the relay and extends its life. This can be important when using PWM to vary the heat output of a resistive load, as most...
