    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    looks very promising - hopefully one for each fermenter - Fermwatch was very good but it only does one fermenter

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    This is the valve I use - draws no current when closed and is only opened briefly to reduce pressure - had no problems so far

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    my system is to keep it closed until pressure hits desired level and then activate - I not sure why it would overheat - they are rated for continuous use, and it is electrically isolated from the ESP

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Pressure is monitored by a pressure transducer on GPIO 3 which activates a solenoid valve with a small hole to release pressure slowly. I also want to replace the two buttons with a Rotary Encoder via a PCF8754 expander

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Thanks for that - what if I were to replace the two buttons with a PCF8754 and Rotary Encoder - would I have to amend the config.h file or is there a bin file that covers it. So, my desired setup is ESP8266, ILI9341 LCD, and Rotary Encoder - I have downloaded BrewPiLess-master.zip and have...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    What bin file can I use with a ESP8266 or an ESP32, to run BrewpiLess, with glycol cooling , wire heating and fermenting under pressure

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    I have three RPi's, one is running Magic Mirror, one is running Raspberry Pints and the last runs Fermentrack - what I would like to achieve is that when no-one is in the room the display goes black and turns back on when movement is detected. I will give this script a run and maybe modify it to...

    Hi Thorrak, I am trying to blank a raspberry pi screen with a PIR, and I have written this script - it runs OK buy only displays "display_blank 1 on the serial monitor and doesn't change - i replaced the pir with no change and have successfully run a test script to show that the PIR is working -...

    Can you actually *buy* a Raspberry Pi these days?

    I am trying with a PIR to blank a raspberry pi screen, and I have written this script - it runs OK buy only displays "display_blank 1 on the serial monitor and doesn't change - i replaced the pir with no change - the pir is on GPIO 23 (pin16) - what's wrong with the code. import os import time...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    OK did all that and wired TFT as shown - temp OK - relays don't work, TFT doesn't work. looked at buying your PCB but they are out of stock. I have four fermenters which are free standing, insulated and they are all stainless. cooling is carried out using a relay controlled glycol system and...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    I have successfully flashed my ESP8266 board for my Fermentrack Controller using the guided script in Fermentrack, however when trying to access the ESP8266 wifi, it shows in my list as BrewPiAP and when I ask to join, it asks for a shared key - What is it??????? - tried brewpiless, brewpi, just...

    won't connect to bf now. do i need to fill out the Wi-Fi details after logging on to fermwatch - it says its connected but of course it needs the api encoded data - i have changed my Api details in bf so many times now, they are probably concerned about my sanity..

    Thanks Peter OK - amended BPI to BPL42 and reflashed the 8266 with V1.2 - logged on and it connected to my wifi as 192.168.1.22 - made that static and went back into BPL and amended the IP address for Fermwatch to 192.168.1.22, it. reset Fermwatch and logged in again it logged onto my Wi-Fi as...
