Hmmm, try sudo service mysql start if that gives you the same answer, then there is no mysql-server installed (in which case other stuff may be missing too). Try installing just mysql-server again via apt-get. Cheers, -Th

I'd get two Pi 2 (not the B), pretty much same cost, and *alot* more CPU. Uno via USB will work, however you'll have to flash the firmware manually using the Arduino IDE as explained in the notes. The firmware auto-flash only works on the alamode for now, reason being that I can pull the alamode...

Seems your mysql server isn't running. Try a sudo service mysqld start and see that it actually starts the mysql server. Cheers, -Th

That's how I understand wbarber from this message: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=7139571&postcount=1407 I did the same, btw. I'd go the other way around, if the alamode header fits the zero. Rendering in a browser takes probably more cpu juice then the server side. I'd go with a...

Your idea using two RPi's will work, for sure. You could also do what wbarber did and use a Nano that's using bluetooth to talk to the Pi. It depends a bit how far apart your screen and kegger are, BT is spec'd to go about 30 feet but that depends on what's in between. Obviously, your solution...

16gig is plenty, it'll run on a 4gig card. If you got an iPhone, the little square chargers work well as power supply. Cheers -Th

Marginal power supply? Bad HDMI cable? Cheap SD card? Could be any of those. If you try again, use a different card for now (to eliminate one of the problems). What are you using as power supply? Cheers, -Th

It doesn't, at least not by default. However, since the FireTV runs a version of Android, most of the android stuff will run on it. The AFTV has a way to side-load apps, which was intended for app developers. Here is a link on how this works: For mac: http://www.aftvnews.com/sideload-adb-mac/...

Yes, and follow the instructions here to install the OS: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md Then jump back to the RPints instructions. The web site is out of date, and hasn't been maintained in awhile. There is also a newer thread over on...

Make sure to install Debian 'Wheezy', not 'Jessie'. https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ -Th

I used one of those boxes: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T7AMUW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Connectors are of this kind: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G9KISW2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 The breakout board is for the level converter (from pi 3V3 to relay board 5V), and to...

The way I did it was to have a terminal login nearby the taps and enter a tail -f /var/log/rpints.log I filled a keg with water and poured into a 1/2 gallon jar with markings. When you hit the 1/2 gallon mark, close the tap. The log display will say something along the lines of: RPINTS...

Just posting a PM with a question here, this is about flow meter calibration values: Those are both adafruit (or at least look-alikes). Seems not all of them have the same flow count, or someone makes knock-off's with different counts. Swissflow have quite a bit higher count (somewhere in...

Well, I'm not (and never was) a official contributor to RaspberryPints, I just forked the original code repository for some of the bug fixes and features that I needed. There are two main reasons I wanna go forward with a different architecture: Software: This little project uses five...

Glad you got this show on the road :mug: As far as Alamode vs. Uno, I see your point, however there are some advantages (powering RPi via Alamode, direct connection w/o cables, compact form factor, etc.) that may have played into the initial choice. There are quite a few around running with...

Umm, I hate to tell you that, but the USB port on the alamode is only there as a power supply. It doesn't have data connected, so won't show up. (Should have pointed that out, sorry). To be able to program your alamode directly from your PC, you'll have to add the FTDI header (not soldered in in...

Yeah, just notice that too, seems weird to only give it one decimal place (however, I'm curious how you know how much is in your keg that accurately :) ). You can try to use phpmyadmin to log into the db, go to the 'raspberrypints' db (on the left), and select table 'taps'. You'll see a...

Ok, got it. So there is one of a few possible problems: * something else is using your serial port on /dev/ttyS0. When trying to upload, make sure that the flowmon service is stopped, and also that there is nothing else that uses that serial port. There is a linux command called 'lsof' that can...

Ok, can you try to enter the 'avrdude' command line manually into your terminal (as mentioned in my 1st post above), and copy/paste any error that you may get. This may help us along, I cannot imagine all 3 alamode's being broken. I'm wondering about that. Is there something else running that...

Just one more thing on this screen shot: The first few "invalid pin 0" just mean that the valve pins just hadn't been assigned yet. Later on, you assigned pin numbers to your taps in tap config, that's when they go away. From what I can tell is that you got pin #'s 23, 24 and 25 assigned (and...
