    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    This is going to be an insanely dumb question. But I found that you can zoom around the graph on an iphone. I can't seem to do so from Chrome. Is this user error or can we not manipulate from a desktop browser? After speaking with Thorrak, I have kicked off another glycol test. This time my...

    Thank you for the clarification. That sequence makes perfect sense and now I also know for myself to be careful!

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    My thermowell is relatively close to the circulation coil, roughly within an inch. However, my soldered probe still had a hard time fully fitting into the thermowell. It was only inserted about 25%, I should have added that disclaimer. I would still hope that it is accurate enough but I truly...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    My initial 5.5 gal water test of Fermentrack controlling a glycol system is complete. I stopped the static control of my glycol reservoir and turned off all controller profiles at around 9pm EST last night (6/21). I will post the updated screenshot at the bottom of this message. After using the...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    So you should have the controller near the fermenter. You then have the fermentrack instance on your pi, wherever that might be in your house. From my understanding, the controller is able to store it's own logging internally. When fermentrack looks to update your graph it should be retrieving...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    You said you tried from the pi which means you still have access to ssh to it. You can access the logs of fermentrack from your pi command line and see if your error messages are telling you anything. My thought is that the IP on your new router has been automatically assigned to something...

    The more I look into it the more I'm curious if Fermentrack will ever pick up the new redesign features that will be coming out from Brewpi/Brewblox. The visual depiction is pretty sweet. But not sure where the line gets drawn for us since we are just using the firmware.

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Here is my glycol system running over the past few hours with 5.5 gal of water in the fermenter. The heating pad of the fermenter is connected to the heating relay. The pump in the reservoir is connected to the cooling relay. I am using beer constant profile at 67F. I have the glycol reservoir...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Hello, here is a 5 am - no coffee - paint visual for you lol The heating pad sits between a neoprene jacket and the fermenter itself. It is trigged with a call for heat. Inside the glycol reservoir (an old coleman cooler) lives a pump that should be be triggered with a call for cool. The pump...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Have you tried the fix environment script? Really a shot in the dark from me. Are you able to test your controller and configure sensors/pins? I was having an issue where the brewpi script wasn't running due to a problem connecting to <controllername>.local. I spent a whole day doing...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    I am all set in regards to the graph. I restarted by ubuntu VM and the graph is usable now. I vaguely remembered needing to delete cookies last time this happened and that didn't fix the issue. Figured the server just needed to be refreshed this time. Thank you for the suggestions to fix this...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    That is absolutely a fair idea. I actually have spent the last few days getting my installation (both ubuntu and fermentrack) up to date. I was having some brewpi script issues and Thorrak pushed a quick fix yesterday. So I am current as of that change on the dev branch.

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    I wish it were that easy. I did try to refresh but it didn't seem to display. I would assume that enough data has been logged at this point to show a graph. But maybe I have a script issue in the background?

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Hello, Thorrak has been a HUGE help to get me into a mostly functional build. I am so grateful. I figured I would bring a few questions here so I can stop harassing him plus at least one of the questions might be useful for the masses. Unfortunately, I think at least 50% of my questions going...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    This is a really solid approach. I have been amazed at how helpful Bobby is when I've called the shop and I'm sure he can help here if needed too. Here is a 1/4 thermowell from them: Thermowell - TW6-S-Bare Which will be used inside this fermenter thermowell: Thermowell | 100mm Weldless...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    I am tempted to place an order there and just call the PCBS.io a wash. If those ever arrive maybe I can send them to someone else in need. As of right now I haven't received any responses via twitter or email. I will likely message Thorrak and see if he can add some guidance for what I should be...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Has anyone experienced issues with PCBs.io? I placed an order for Thorrak's boards in early April and it is still in the fabrication stage. I ordered the PCB components through Mouser and I'm just waiting for the boards to show up. I also can't find any customer service email nor will they...
