    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I'm having a weird problem. I got my 4 yo SF800s running again and I'm getting double pours reported on all of them when I do one continuous pour. The total amount of both pours seem to be correct. I poured 16oz and got 9.12 and 7.06 reported 7 seconds apart. I've upped the pour message...

    Thanks RandR+ it's working great now! I read the last 40 pages trying not to bother you, but somehow missed deleting the hex file.

    I'm having trouble seeing my flow meters and did this test you recommended to someone else. The serial monitor did echo the string and then StatusCheck;. No pours are detected. With verbose on the rpints.log file end is this: 2020-01-08 16:01:36 RPINTS: alamode was restarted, restart...

    EBay still has the Swiss flow meters available. They are free shipped for $75 each with the right jg fittings. Just search Swissflow SF800.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I bought this header board for my Uno since I'm using 8 flow meters. Thought it might help someone else willing to spend another $20 for convenience. I've used RandR+ script and got RPints up on my RBp3 running Buster first try. I'm having trouble with his script to upload the sketch file...

    Rbussy has the link for you. That install script RandR+ did was amazing. I lost my build and couldn't find my backup. I remember all the manual hell you had to go through 5 years ago. Run RandR+ script and sit back and watch. I'm still messing getting it going, but RPints was up and...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Yes, I used dry Notty and dry US-05. The Notty was really good, don't get me wrong. It had a bit more estery flavors and didn't seem quite as 'dry' even though they both ended up at roughly the same FG. We liked the Cheeky because the clean, crisp, refreshing characters were a bit more...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    I have brewed at least a hundred gallons of this beer, maybe more. It's a staple on one of my 8 taps. At first I split a brew ferment between Nottingham and Chico yeast. Fermented them both at 64 degrees. Called them Naughty Blonde and Cheeky Blonde and put them both on tap. Cheeky won by...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Should be a space. Some people say you can blow in them a bit. I put them on a cobra tap and a corney of water. In terminal type "sudo /etc/init.d/flowmon status" If it's not running change status to start and try again.

    Double IPA Tits-Up Imperial IPA (3-Time Medalist - 2 Golds, 1 Silver)

    I just started serving my latest iteration of yet another batch of this awesome beer. It has a home on my 8 taps and will probably always live here, since it has some major fans among my friends. I don't agree with the Pliney comparison. I live a 10 minute drive from Russian River and have...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Mine were more because of the way I hooked up the tubing. I used some polyethylene tubing that matches the inlets and put a brass insert into the end and finally clamped my beer line onto it. I got another cheap flow meter of the same type that has a barbed fitting and it seems to be working...

    Have you put those meters on beer yet? They worked fine with water, but when I put them inline with beer last night, nothing but foam. I'll check it again tonight, I bumped the keg around a bit and I hope it's just needs settling down.

    Not sure, but I have confirmed these work correctly. You need to modify the pulses per gallon. Look at my previous posts on the second thread where I talk about how and where to modify the code for these. PM me if I can help. Rick

    Thank you for your work on the temperature monitoring. I'm adding it to my RPints as well. I've seen your comments on pins, hopefully 13 will work since I'm not using it as a flow monitor indicator and I need 8 for the taps. If I can did one more up, the motion sensor will go on as well...

    If it's dead I have an extra B model I'd be happy to send to you. Funny story, I thought I ordered the Pi 2, but ended up with 2 Pi due to some shady wording on the advertisement. Still seems to be working great for me.

    There's not much support on this thread anymore. I've been going nuts messing with the two column HTML for horizontal viewing. I finally figured it out, but having never messed with HTML before it seems user hostile. I know where in the index file this occurs, did you muck around with the...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I got mine in and have been tested them. They are quite good and better than the 3% tolerance they quote. I poured 6 individual gallons and checked the pulse counts, looks like for this model an average of 14,281/gallon is what works. I've poured interrupted flow, long pours, slow pours and...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I bought these flow meters at $9.50 each and they are supposed to be 3% accurate. I have two of those high dollar SwissFlo meters coming in to compare them against. I could solder, but that's my entire skill set when I started. I want to thank everyone and mcangeli in particular for this...

    [Initial Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I bought these flow meters at $9.50 each. Supposed to be 3% accurate. I've got them hooked up and sensing fine. Does anyone remember where to adjust pulse/ounce setting in the software? I remember seeing it, but darn I can't find it again. I'm going to set up a test and see how they do. I...
