It was no drama and thanks for hosting it.

It was very slow for me, took an hour or so but it did download.

Yes and Yes.

For anyone wanting to install CBPI4 from the Alexander Vollkopfs repo listed above this is what he posted on the Craft Beer Pi FB page. Ive installed it and it works fine, I just dont know how to install the LCD plug in if someone could please assist in this...not sure what to type in...

So Ive replaced the pull up with a 2k resistor... still failed although it was 2 weeks later. Connected probe power to 5v..failed 2 days later Now Ive plugged into a different powerpoint... But on the weekend Im going to disconnect the connector and wire it directly. If it still fails I will...

Well that didn’t work. Failed two days later…. Arrrghhhhh

I powered the probes 5v direct from the ESP device as you mention. Lets see how it goes. Thanks very much for your help on this, Ill change all the others over to 5V too. Great explanation on pull up resistors too.

Ok a question..Should the probes be powered with 3v3 or 5v? Mine are powered with 3v3 from the wemos but Ive seen wiring diagrams that say 5v to the probe. Should I try 5v direct from the power supply? Ive also noticed that some of the pcbs that Thorrak sells have capacitors on them. Are these...

Just thinking about it Ive brewed with both a mash tun and a HLT plugged into the same GPO and the fermenting fridges all at the same time and the units have never dropped out whilst brewing so Im not suspecting the power supply issue from the GPO as that would cause an issue then for sure you...

Would the fridge or heater cutting in and out be the reason for a suspected power drain? If I test them in a different room without anything plugged into the heating or cooling is that defeating the purpose and I should test with a fridge etc connected?

The 2 Im not using I am going to plug into a different plug in the house for a few weeks and see what happens.

Im using only 2 sensors, but yeh I see what you mean. I switched to a 2k2 about 2 weeks ago when you first mentioned it. Ill now try a 1k in one of them and change the power supply out in another but keep the 2k2 and see if either fail. Mains power issues..hmm. Good point. I have good...

I dont even have to reboot the TC. I just unplug the sensors and plug them back in again and it works. What power supply do you use? Should I also consider buying new temp probes or are they not likely to fail? It just seems strange that I have 3 of these. 2 have the same type of power supply...

Hey mate so I replaced the pull up resistor on TC1 the controller that Ive often had issues with and it worked fine for the past 12 days. Then I came home tonight after work and the temp reading was dashed lines again. I unplugged the probes and plugged back in to reset it. TC2 has been working...

Yeh id be interested to know if you get the display working properly.

ill take a photo tonight when I get home tonight and post it. Are you talking about this image here? What are you not sure about? the 240v side? https://github.com/vitotai/BrewPiLess/blob/master/doc/HardwareExample1.md

Ahh yes of course..good point.. Thanks again mate

They are hanging free, they run from the board to the display and arent bunched with any other wires. So this is just a display issue and wont affect my temperature settings at all then? With the other issues Im having with my brewpi/fermntrack controllers this seems to be the most reliable at...

I brought and used my power supplies from Jaycar as the original power supply I got from chinabay looked cheap and nasty. This is the one Im using.. Any good? Or if not what do you suggest...

So whats the fix? Re route the display wires? My fermentrack temp controllers refresh every so often and I assume thats why.
