    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Stupid question...if the UNO is programmed does it need to remain plugged in to the Raspberry pi?

    I'll give that a shot.

    Having trouble setting up Fermentrack with Raspberry Pi and Uno R3

    I will have to look at this when I get time. It’s identical to my problem. Hopefully revision c works.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Okay I have it wired up and plugged in. The Fermentrack recognizes the temperature sensor and the 4 available pins. I set it to heating and cooling relays and the sensor to beer temp but it tells me it cannot heat or cool. Wiring problem?

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Resistors showed up yesterday. Started putting it together last night. The probes are shorter than I thought they would be. Even the wires are shorter than I expected. Oh and soldering the 3 pin aviation connectors kind of sucked. Hopefully there isn’t so much solder it’s touching the metal...

    New Hop Garden 2014 (pic heavy)

    What rhizomes did you cut? If this works out well I’m probably going to get some different hops for 2019. Growing only cascade is fine and dandy if I really loved cascade that’s much.

    Ordered 4/16. Relay board, pin connectors, uno and probes showed up today. Waiting on the 100 resistors I bought and all I need is a cord, a box and an outlet.

    New Hop Garden 2014 (pic heavy)

    Hacked mine back as well. Hopefully I pick a good 8 per box (all cascade) and finally get hops this year. Forgetting to water them has been a problem annually so I installed drip irrigation last Labor Day.

    AliExpress - any experiences?

    I put my first order in this week. I think Tuesday. Received an email saying my stuff has shipped. Shipping should be 50-60 days but it was 1/6 the price of stuff off Amazon. It won’t be here in two days but I don’t have an urgent need for what I ordered. I got most of it from one vendor which...

    Edit: Apparently I must not have had my order processed. Reordered for less than $10. I'll need to buy a power cord, wall outlet and something to put this in when it gets here. 20-39 days and everything but the resistor came from the Fruit Pi store.

    Ordered everything off Alibaba today. We shall see when it arrives and what kind of quality I get from $11 of stuff that was closer to $60 on Amazon.

    $5 UNO?!? Where?

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I think I’m going to do the UNO with USB connection to the pi with a 4 channel relay to control 4 outlets and two probes. 1 won’t be used. The other three outlets would be fermentation cooling (upright freezer), fermentation heating (heat wrap) and my kegerator. I’m assuming the pi will...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I s aw the ESP8266 builds but honestly, I couldn't really follow it and didn't see much of a "how to build" sheet. It looked like the boards have to be manually constructed then added with whatever else they need. I'll look into it more but for some reason it seemed harder to go that way to use...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I'm very much hoping to use bluetooth and wifi as much as possible with the UNOs. I could put the RPI either in the garage at a different location, or on the other side of the wall inside the house. If the signal is strong enough this will become important for the next living quarters.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Can you explain why I'd need two Unos? I've seen christmas light setups using one Uno so I figured the 4 channel relay could control 4 outlets separately each with a probe (theoretically) for on/off. I thought the Uno controlled all the channels it's connected to.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Fermentrack up and running. I re-ran the one line install. THANKFUKLLY it worked. I appreciate the input and now I know the newest format of NOOBS can't work with Brewpi but this does the exact same thing. Totally thought I smoked the memory card and ruined the whole project. Now to figure out...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I got Raspbian reinstalled and went with fermentrack. Since the pi is all I currently own and there is nothing to communicate with I assume that is why nothing comes up when I type the 192.168.x.xx into my browser.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2017-07-05/ Is this the only place to get an img file of Jessie? 1.6 gigs compressed turns into a pretty big file. Oh and now trying to format my 32 gig memory card I've turned it into 41.6 megabytes. I'm so pissed. I've used every...
