Hey all, I've been keeping a fairly low profile for a bit as I had some unforeseen circumstances that put brewing on the back burner for a bit, thanks to @day_trippr for sharing the version you had (and no I definitely don't mind). Unfortunately Google changed the policy on share links so all...

Lately there's been a popup on there asking if you'd be willing to pay for continued development, so either there were enough yeses to justify updating the site or not enough to continue hosting it. Or is that just the eternal cynic in me...?

I don't have load sensors set up, I just weigh the full keg before I tap it, and use flow meters after that. RandR+ introduced the load sensor code, my work was only the weight/volume calculations. These are scales I use FWIW: Accuteck ShipPro 110lbs x 0.1 oz. Digital Shipping Postal Scale...

Lol, yeah so much life got in the way since then: I took a redundancy from my previous employer (I had hoped to have some significant downtime before my next employment, but...), took a new job with a step learning curve within weeks, which was all consuming, then just as I was about to...

Try putting /index.php at the end of your IP address

Sounds like you missed the 'delete the index.html file' step, so it's displaying that instead of the RPints index.php file.

Yeah, my write-up will show all optional metric conversions, but they'll all be slight code changes, not configurable options.

I'll do a quick metric conversion write-up this weekend, as @RandR+ said it's mostly label changes apart from the pours.php file if you aren't using the keg volume kalculator mod.

Here's the steps from my soon to be completed/published write-up: cd /var/www/html/python sudo cp flowmon /etc/init.d sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/flowmon sudo /etc/init.d/flowmon start ps aux | grep flow_monitor.py sudo update-rc.d flowmon defaults sudo reboot

Haven't tested flowmeters yet but don't expect any issues as the install commands all behaved as intended: sudo /etc/init.d/flowmon start ps aux | grep flow_monitor.py

FYI, for those playing along at home: Install write-up to follow...

All good mate, sometimes things get lost in translation with printed text, no harm done. Thanks for clarifying and updating your post, that was very big of you to do! Cheers, Kal

Steady on cowboy, we're all trying to help here, and in all fairness the lion's share of this work has been done by @Tobor_8thMan who doesn't have flowmeters on his setup so has no reason to know what the Arduino is for, hence the shout out for more beta testers. Kudos to you @Tobor_8thMan for...

Currently working on an upgrade pathway in parallel to this, to help bring all our Wheezy/Jessie friends along with us ;) That said, if you simply import your DB backup post fresh install it should work in theory as MariaDB is designed by the original creator of MySQL so it's always been a...

With (S)FTP your username should be pi and the admin password you used during setup. Cheers, Kal

The easiest way to (re)flash a hex file is with Xloader: https://github.com/xinabox/xLoader Plug you Arduino directly into your PC via USB and flash the new hex file.

Apologies to all for the testing delays, between the sustained extended work hours with my new job, and my birthday this past weekend, I've been spread a bit then. I will carve out some time the next few evenings, so we should have some documented steps by the end of the week. Cheers, Kal

Yeah, for starters your weight of water is probably based on the weight of water at sea level, also you need to adjust for the additional weight of beer versus water based on the final gravity of your beer, plus if the keg is pressurised you need to compensate for the weight of the disolved CO2...

All good! I'm flattered you incorporated it into your version. Cheers, Kal

If you know all the values (empty keg weight, current keg weight, temp, pressure, altitude, and specific gravity), you could just retap it as long as you have the keg vlume kalculator mod installed, alternatively here's the Excel spreadsheet version...
