Is the question still whether or not that is correct? That STC1000 diagram looks spot on! Just connect wire C to STC1000 block 5 and B to STC1000 block 6.

This is a perfectly valid alternative for those whose routers don't support No-IP or DynDNS(an alternative). In this case, it's your Raspberry Pi that's checking if your public IP has changed and letting the service know to update their list.

This is done with the magic of dynamic DNS. You sign up for a free account with a service like No-IP. A service that lets you use a URL is called a DNS and is basically just a phone-book for your internet connection's public IP address. You sign up with a DNS host like No-IP and they point a URL...

Hey Kurt! If you want to fork our repo and mess around, go right ahead! Just submit a pull request if you come up with anything good ;) You can also feel free to submit any bugs or suggestions as issues in the github repo. Thanks for checking us out!

Looks like you removed the RPints logo. Thadius isn't going to be happy about that! ;)

I don't remember the names, but there are Android apps that let you turn on your screen by waving your hand in front of the proxy sensor. If the tablet has one, it would be an awesome way of turning it on.

Most RPi cases don't give any extra space for add-on boards, so probably not.

We're currently working with the Alamode. It's an Arduino compatible board with an onboard RTC and stacks directly on top of the RPi. Really, any Arduino compatible board should work. While we're still deep in testing, it looks like those who only want keg monitoring for < 12 kegs should only...

I finally found my project notebook for my kegerator. Here's a relevant bit. Here's a drawing of how everything is connected to the compressor relay (black wired box connected to the compressor). The fridge has one difference from this. Instead of the relay (thermostat) having it's own 2...

Thankfully, that shouldn't be too hard to filter out. Either way, the keg will be empty, so the pulses won't matter too much.

Nah, I've got a few misc other compatible boards around, but this one is pretty blue.

Close! The Arduino Leonardo was about $25. So worth it, though.

Hey everyone! Here's a sneak peak into the development/testing of the flow monitoring feature! It's still very early and we don't have a release date yet, but I thought it would be fun to share. Enjoy!

... I'm trying as hard to manage expectations and curb enthusiasm as I possibly can. I swear, I'm trying! I would love to ignore these threads and go hold up in my workshop and work on this project. The only reason I keep posting is to try to hold everyone back from jumping on hardware. I...

Thanks! I'm actually using this project as a good excuse to add more functionality to my Kegerator ;) Maybe I'll do a follow up thread once it's all done.

I'm sorry if I came off as anything but straight-forward and to the point :\ This is definitely one of those engineer failing at communication situations. What I was trying to say is that there will be some minimum amount of hardware needed to make flow sensors work. I spent a week of nights...

I can't speak to a guide, but RaspberryPints is using really standard software systems. If you can find a guide to set up MySQL, PHP, and a webserver on Windows - the rest should be pretty similar to our setup.

Here's the problem. The faster your system pours a beer, the faster the flow meter is going to pulse. It just does some number of pulses per liter. We were originally trying to read the pulses from the Raspberry Pi and an I/O expander chip. The problem is that the RPi can only read so many...

Ok. This same confusion has come up in our dev communication, so I want to address it. The only required part of this project is a web server. The target platform being used is the Raspberry Pi. If you have an old laptop around, that would work perfectly fine. That is well under $100 for the...

As anxious as people might be to go out and buy those boards, it might not hurt to hold off until the feature is closer. While this is the current target hardware, there is still a lot of testing to be done. For now, the only 100% known hardware is the RPi. While a lot of the cheaper flow...
