    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    I'll have a look - I generally test with Lite so .. looks as if I have work to do.

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    Just giving you some grief. I did not expect to log in here and see that. :) Okay, so Bullseye, and I have not validated that yet. Also, 32-bit, which is validated. Do you recall if you installed a desktop as well? (Graphical UI) It's running, so no concern about this not being validated...

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    Holy wall of text, Batman! What version of the OS did you flash? If you do not remember, please give me the output of these two commands: cat /etc/os-release uname -m

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    I've updated the installer with a fix for the CVE issue as well as a deprecated removed numpy version. If you are running now, there is no need to update anything. This will only impact new users/installs.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Nope. Those clip over the PCB. Test one, and make sure it fits correctly. “Works for me” but you may have to scale up or down depending on your setup.

    Homebrew interface built in Qt for Raspberry Pi

    A Pi is a Debian-based hardware/software combination. Get yourself a Pi or use something like Oracle Virtual Box to start now with the Raspberry Pi Desktop in a VM. Then learn a little bash, then figure out which direction you want to go. Qt is a development framework, but there are many...

    Simple DIY Keg Management

    I love watching the progression of a person who has never done one of these DIYs and they see one and “just need to get a cheaper printer.” I’m not sure they ever come back and admit having a printer is a project all by itself. :)

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Compressor off time is a requirement to prevent trying to start the compressor when there is a pressure differential that causes it to be hard to start. A capillary tube on most refrigerators maintains the differential when running and causes the evaporator to absorb heat. Fairly shortly after...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Yes, the purpose of Keg Cop is not precise fermentation control. It's a simple thermostat, where all the rest use a PID loop and more restrictive timers. I can control the temperature reasonably (i.e. as good as Inkbird) and a keg in my keezer and a simple recirculating fan keep the cycling down.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Do you have anything in the kegerator? If there's no thermal mass in there and the evaporator is cooling that quickly (or the probe is close to the evaporator or there's no fan) then I can see that happening. What did BPL tell you about the temps? What does your serial log tell you? The min...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Change the settings (setpoint, offsets, whatever) and observe that they remain over a crash/reboot.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Is it not controlling temperatures during this time? Web server aside (which I am going to rip out to eliminate the async), it should be controlling just fine.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Give it a restart (like when you plug in the serial connection) and let's see what we get. That's real slow. What browser, and are you using any extensions?

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    There are articles on the Internet on how people have added external antennas. For now, just keep in mind you're getting crappy performance and use these steps to rule out the signal strength as an issue. I used to have some of the issues bookmarked for the defects where the board will deauth...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Keep an eye on the RSSI when it connects. I tried to make it more resilient and reconnect but it seems that may not be as stable as simply rebooting the device. Well, it looks a lot like you were hammering those config pages really good. It's odd to me, but maybe you were just trying to...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I'm not saying it's this, but you might turn off all your monitoring and see if it runs unmolested for a while. The IP stack on the ESP32 line is notoriously sensitive. It did disconnect. The RSSI is semi-high at -65. Do you have a simple wireless router you can move next to it to rule out...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    That's not a scenario I tested, so I can't offer any encouragement or even a recommendation to do that. The pins marked "power" on the PCB I provided are power for the relay from the board, not power into the board. While there is a technical capability to power the board external to the USB...

    Aren't you the guy that was working on KegScreen?

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    It's easy, but it's work that may not get you anywhere. I'd be pretty frustrated if I did that and it didn't help. Unless you made some changes to the Pythion scripts, there's no reason to believe those are at fault. This will allow us to find out right away.
