    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Hi Matt, sorry for the late reply, went to superbowl on sunday, a party afterwards, and had to catch up on some sleep yesterday... This trace/error is benign, it just means that some browser didn't disconnect the web socket connection ('pipe') correctly. You may see that quite a few times...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yeah, had that same moment a few months back. :mug: It's from the original RPints implementation... Around line 167 in 'index.php, there is: <span class="tapcircle"><?php echo $i; ?></span> remove 'class="tapcircle" ', the circle is drawn via css, this will remove it. For your images, you...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yes, the solenoid has no measuring device, it's just there to to enable or disable the flow thru the line. And yes, on the second part, that's how it is intended to work (in the case of a automatic kick, when it senses the flow rate changing rapidly; or when the max pour amount is exceeded). It...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    The MT is correct, and it doesn't kick b/c the flow meter said so (there could be still beer in there :). However it should kick if you get the kick setting right and it senses a high flow count. Btw, at super bowl this weekend, so may not get to respond much. Just heading into the city now for...

    Keezer is pretty much finished - Lots of 3d printed parts

    yes, definitely on top of my list. I have a friend making me stainless rods instead of using the threaded stock. I haven't had anything to print that's that tall where it would make a large impact, but it'll be there shortly. It takes some 30+ hours to print that stuff tho... Cheers, -Th

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    The defaults should work with the adafruit meters. Do you have flyback diodes installed across your solenoid contacts? When testing, I noticed that w/o them, the solenoid spike can trip the arduino into a state where it doesn't report anymore. Can you cycle your solenoid off/on via the tap...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Hmm, what's the update count and the other parameters? And can you attach the rpints.log, please? I don't have the swissflo, so not sure what's tripping this, but I think with some fiddling with the settings, it should start to work. BTW, what flow count on the swissflo is the 24oz? Cheers -Th

    Keezer is pretty much finished - Lots of 3d printed parts

    Heh, I had the thing now for a good week, and it's been printing ever since :) I did a few enclosures that I had for projects in the pipeline, they're in the 1st 2 pics attached. One is a enclosure for a pool controller based on a RasPi, the other is a enclosure for a 20Mhz DSO based on a...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Glad you got it going! Just for kicks, send me the rpints.log if you got it, just to see if there are still any anomalies. And yes, if you restart the service, or reboot you need to refresh the browser(s), the websocket connections get broken at that point. It shouldn't be needed for any...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Hi Matt, sorry I missed that post. I haven't gotten around to implementing flashing the arduino and playing with your alamode just yet, wanted to clean up my plate of pending/half finished projects first. It's next on the list, if nothing else comes along probably in the next two weeks or so...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yes, I guess I missed that you have to edit this via 'visudo', drats, I hope you got a backup of that file, sorry. You can also add a file to the /etc/sudoers.d directory, the file cannot have a . (dot) in its name but otherwise you're free to pick a name. You can add the instructions there...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I don't think the spaces should be the problem. It's complining about a syntax error in that file, line 31. Could you paste what's on that line (which one of the two above). Also, I think the 2nd line may not even be needed, so try with just the 1st line that starts with www-data. Also...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Ok, I think I see something here. You may enable the flow meters, but it still doesn't update. That's b/c the flow mon service reads those 'enabled' values only once on startup, and then never again. Which means the part that does the flow counting never gets started in the service, but will get...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Got in this morning after getting delayed, so had to catch up on some sleep :) The pin message you can ignore, that's for valve/solenoid configuration. It indicates that a valve pin is set incorrectly (0), but no harm is done. I should probably take that out, it just has the potential for...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I think we got two different problems here: This is the 1st one: I need to see the rpints.log for that - if possible from 1st boot thru tap config until you attempt a pour. Can't say 'til then for sure, but with the logs, I'm sure we'll get it to work. Just to keep up with different...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yes, looks good. The green is ground, since I used a plastic enclosure it's not hooked to anything. If yours is metal, hook it to your enclosure. Cheers, -Th EDIT: Did you ever flow beer thru your solenoid? How'd it flow?

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yes, attaching the rpints log file would be really helpful. BTW, you don't have to reflash the arduino unless there is a new release in software for it (I'll note that if thats the case). All the parameters should be now uploaded to the alamode/arduino automatically when needed, so it's not...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    The swissflo are quite different in terms of count per gallon, so yes it makes a big difference. The defaults in the software are for the cheaper flow meters. day_tripper already alluded to the count/gallon value, it's probably a good value. One other thing you have to change are the pour...
