    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Well, good to know, but AFAIK the arduino programmer (avrdude), which is failing in this case doesn't use python. Cheers, -Th

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Can you try to type the command to flash into the console as it is displayed in the log - the command that starts the line after "flashing alamode via: " and up to "raspberrypints.cpp.hex:i" (it's all one line, it just wraps in the log), and post the output here? You may have to prefix it with...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Hi Matt, just got home from a New Years Party, I'll take a look at your screen shots tomorrow. Interesting that the flash command fails, this is a Alamode, correct? Cheers, -Th

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yea, sorry, I have no real use for that, and I'll probably not add anything new to RPints (I'll do bug fixes, tho). I think this should work: import smtplib from email.mime.text import MIMEText msg = MIMEText('your msg text goes here') me = '[email protected]' you = '[email protected]'...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yea, the BBB should make this whole thing cheaper and less complicated. Linux will stay, just don't like php and sql (there are like 5 different programming languages in this little project...), thinking more along the lines of Node.js and a noSQL db. We'll see... -Th

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Since the initial announcement in the post at the following link: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=7128949&postcount=1384 I've had about a good dozen of installs, and folks reporting success - however a good part of them have been custom installs. Since then, aside from bug fixes...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    What you're saying is correct, however there is ways to minimize exposure: (1) Use a USB thumb drive or SSD for your OS, the RPi install and all your data. If there is no write's to the SD-card, it won't fail. There is how-to's abound.. (2) make sure the OS has a chance to exit cleanly. In...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    It's not just that, also that the image used would have to fit (or be smaller than) the sd card that you're using, in the second case you'd not be able to use the extra space on the card - unless someone provides instructions how to enlarge the image, etc.... And you'd be downloading largely...

    Any chance you got funny characters (return characters, etc) into your beer name / beer description? There were a few posts on the other rpints thread, if you scroll back a few pages... Cheers, -Th

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    You're talking about using the mysql instance on the NAS, correct? Haven't tried that myself, but should be possible, nothing in the DB is really Mysql version specific (IIRC). Try to import the sql/schema.sql file into your NAS' DB first, if that works w/o errors then you should be good to...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    It's a bit obfuscated but you can try changing the following in index.php: if( $remaining > 0 ){ ?><div class="abv-offthechart"></div><?php } to: if( $abv > 9.0 ){ ?><div class="abv-offthechart"></div><?php } See if this works, Cheers, -Th

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    As it stands, you can display the tap list, but manual entry of pours is not possible. And, honestly, I'm not sure I would wanna implement it. I'd rather suggest something different: @wbarber69 here on the thread has his flow meters hooked up via a small board (arduino nano) that uses a...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    So I went to our hardware folks at work, and they gave me a Nano, one of the guys there even had a bluetooth board in his desk... Hooked it up to the RPints, and yes, the power cycling part works :) Just comes right back, gets the config and starts counting, takes about a second or so after the...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yes, "Jessie" switched to apache 2.4 which has /var/www/html as default (reason being security concerns). If you wanna use flow meters, and move it to /var/www/html, you need to edit the code in at least 2 other places, otherwise it won't work (in the flowmon python script and the service...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yeah, my pleasure. Thank you for enduring the debugging sessions via email :mug: For the record: Along the ways 2Kegger and I found a couple bugs in my version: * I forgot to include a sql statement in the installers database scheme * There was a problem with updates to browsers when the Apache...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Hehe, no prob, take your time, github is still gonna be here tomorrow (hopefully :) ) Yea, I'm afraid there is quite a bit of work on your part necessary to get that working. Those BT boards typically don't have access to the DTR line on the Uno, so it would mean to add a few wires between...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    So, I thought about your scenario, and made a few extra changes. First off, as I mentioned, if the raspberrypints.hex file is not present in the admin/arduino/raspberrypints directory, then it will not even attempt to flash the sketch. You'll have to do that yourself, with the .ino sketch...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yes the web site is missing a return between the commands. Try this: sudo /etc/init.d/flowmon start ps aux | grep flow_monitor.py (two separate commands) Cheers, -Th

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    You're probably in the wrong directory. You can try absolute paths, then that won't matter. See if this works instead of your command above: sudo cp /var/www/python/flowmon /etc/init.d/ Cheers, -Th
