    Brewery name on license plate

    Big supporter of LEO's and 1st responders in general. Never been hassled as I'm a big square and don't break the law (other than speeding from time to time). If you're concerned about being pulled over (and blowing over 0.08), you shouldnt be driving anyway.

    New BCS-462 / RPi Control Panel Build

    OK Jon - I finally got around to installing the BCS desktop on the raspberry pi. Everything seems to work great in testing. Tomorrow I plan to brew a batch of my house amber ale using the BCS desktop software. I do like the level of customization that can be incorporated into the UI - very...

    The push button is nice to have, especially when you have dirty, or sticky hands. Having both options provides more flexibility fir me. You may have other needs and preferences so go with what makes you happy.

    New BCS-462 / RPi Control Panel Build

    The input button allows the user to communicate with the BCS. For example I can program the BCS to require user input before moving from one state or process to another. The alarm is just a light/buzzer that goes off when the BCS needs to communicate to the user. For example, I can program it to...

    New BCS-462 / RPi Control Panel Build

    The size works great for me. I definitely would not go smaller though. I have no issues with the size and resolution. Touch panel works well with my finger on the BCS web interface. When browsing the internet, I use a handheld keyboard / touchpad combo. You could go bigger possibly, if you...

    Yeah Jon, one of these days I'll get around to trying your standalone UI. You said you got it to work with the win10 on the RPi?

    New BCS-462 / RPi Control Panel Build

    Jon, that's so simple. Not sure why I never thought of adding a countdown state to the beginning of the process to delay start until time certain. Will add to next brew session. Thanks. Tricky, can't believe I've never added any finished photos to this thread. Sorry. Will post a couple now.

    Here is the inside of the panel. The RPi is kind of hidden in the shot, but is right next to the white ethernet switch.
