    I don't have another system to test with and this is my first foray into RPi.

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Well, I've had the chance to double check my wiring, and it looks good per the attached drawing I've seen floating around on here. However, someone recommended I use a 2.2K resistor instead of the 4.7K one. Just to be sure that wasn't causing a problem, I doubled two of my 2.2K resistor's in...

    Yes, using the standard config between GPIO 4, ground and 3.3V. I'll double check the wiring again...

    It came back with nothing: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /sys/bus/w1/devices pi@raspberrypi:/sys/bus/w1/devices $ Under raspberry pi configuration interfaces tab, it shows -Wire enabled.

    Hey Phoenix, Yes, I did that, but none show up there.

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Hey guys, I could use a little help with my CBPi3.0 setup. I've got things wired up and just starting to test. In CBPI, my sensor isn't showing up under the hardware settings when I go to select the sensor. If I'm doing it right, it does show up in the RPi files under sys/bus/w1/devices as...

    Everything for my control panel has shipped, but it's delayed due to the weather! I do have my RPi4B+ though, so I thought I'd fiddle around a bit while I wait. So I've got CBPi 3 running and in the web control, I'm looking at the plugins list. There are quite a few there, and many with...

    Here is the latest. I think I've got something I can build! I still open to suggestions, but I'm going to go ahead and order what I know I'll need. Thanks to all that helped so far. I appreciate everyone's time and above all, patience! :bigmug:

    Wiring Help for New RPi Brew Controller

    I completely understand, Doug. Please know that you've been a huge help just from the past drawings you've posted! If you look at my latest in the CBPi thread, you'll probably recognize some elements of your handiwork...

    Are you saying that you would use the USB-C cable plugged into a USB power supply (wall wart)? Since this is inside the panel, did you add an outlet inside for it to plug into? Or are you using some type of usb c breakout cable to get the 5VDC from the DIN Power Supply? I found one on Amazon...

    I've corrected the wire colors and labeled things better. Hopefully it is more clear below. I added the DS to the drawing with the actual wire colors from the Auber web page. I figure all the wiring in the panel should be as uniform as possible. Thanks jangevaa, I certainly don't mind the...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Thanks for the feedback guys! I guess it wouldn't be that difficult to do a separate system for the Fermentation. Just a smaller box without the need for 240V, which is nice... I'll check into those two options with an Arduino. I had found some threads where they were using the Arduino as a...

    Ok, I've added the ULN to the drawing and addressed a few other things. Thoughts?

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Thanks for the detail here and the links, those will come in handy! I think I will take a phased approach on this. Phase one will be getting the basic Pi with SSR circuit, element and one temp probe up and running. I'll just manually switch my AC Pump using the switch built into its power cord...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Thanks Lalo_uy. I'm looking at using this 40A SSR from Auber: https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_30&products_id=30 It says it will trigger at 3V 3-30mA, but I understand that's at the bottom limit. Does anyone have experience with this one? Using the ULN2003: I...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Thanks for jumping in on this, papacap! Gotcha on the relay, thanks for that. I like the idea of being able to control those manually if necessary. I'll try to add in that circuitry. I'm thinking now that pump control within the CBPi panel can be pushed to V2 since I'm eager to get this thing...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Hey guys, I've been on here and in the Electric Brewery section looking at wiring designs for several months. I've decided to go with RPi and it seems like CBPi is the best supported open source solution, so I'm ready to pull the trigger on a CBPi brew controller. I've been working on my parts...

    Wiring Help for New RPi Brew Controller

    Hey Guys, I'm hoping one of the experienced industrial control guys could help me out on my wiring design. I've seen some awesome drawings posted on here by doug293cz and others! I have some electronics experience (I was an ET in the Coast Guard in a former life! LOL), but not to the level that...

    New eBIAB with Inverted Keggle?

    Gotcha! Do you find that to be as efficient? ...or efficient enough? I like the false bottom.
