I had a hard time getting this to work. But worked through it.
RaspberryPints and BrewPi Remix
The process is
1. Install rpints via the rtlindne repository and choose your flavor
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rtlindne/RaspberryPints/master/util/installRaspberryPints | sudo bash...
2 Super Dumb Scripts that do what I need them to
Alarm Silence
//poor man alarm reset
"Acknowledge" State = False
[start]
if "Acknowledge" State == True
"Step Time Alarm" Active = False
sleep 1000
"Acknowledge" State = False
"Acknowledge" Visibility = Hidden
goto "start"...
The Long Brew Script...
This is honestly pretty simple
I replicated the brew process from The Electric Brewery
PART 1
// BrewBros script
// v1.0 9/16/2019
// Matias G.
[device setup] // setup elements with base values, disable loops, reset buttons and timers.
"System Status"...
So, I started a PLC build way back when ('11-'12). The project fizzled out due to money, kids, life, etc...
In the mean time, I worked several automated builds surrounding Raspberry Pi, Python, and QT5. reef-pi and a homebrew saltwater mixing station for Aquarium use (or RODI brew water).
I...
I am dumb. The error is coming from the line after. I was trying to calculate a "Remaining Time" and display it as a string. Did not work.
Seems like my major issues are all cleared up. I was able to simulate a brew-day step by step!!!
I was also able to use a WAV for a custom alarm sound...
It seems I have Step Time as a Timer Element. I may have gone about this the wrong way, I just want to pass a user defined Time SP per step, to a generic Timer.
I guess I could just go with a new timer for every step, and selectively hide them based on the active step. My thought was that by...
Background: I am a ladder logic guy that dabbles in some python... Dabbles as in simple QT based GPIO stuff.
Just want to say I love the software, interface, and ease of part procurement... Wow I wish I paid more attention to this my first go around with my eHerms setup!
Couple of Questions...
The things you have done with it convinced me. I have been watching tons of your videos and threads. The recipe import is what sold me, though I havent figured it out. From what I understand it is going to be native in future releases?
Looks like I am going a different route with this. I am keeping the main panel intact but I am scrapping the PLC controls for now.
Too easy to find parts for PI\Arduino Control. Brucontrol is looking pretty nice.
I will start a new thread and update here with a link.
Heh. I deserve it. Honored that you replied! TEB was the inspiration for my foray into Electric Brewing.
I feel like I have come full circle, because now I want to go back to the TEB approach. Even though I have a MicroLogix 1500 full programmed and ready to go...
Time to make a decision and...
Ground comes from the ground... literally. You can purchase a ground rod and drive it in yourself. If you want to DIY you may need to read up on code.
If not call an electrician!
Thanks. I did more research after my post and found yall online.
I sent out a contact email, but no info on the march meeting. I'd love to sit in on one.
