Well, on the one hand, you can't have too many Pis. On the other, how hard can it be...

Anyone know why the digital output 1 on the spark won't stay on in test mode? See videos in post: https://community.brewpi.com/t/how-to-connect-powerswitch-tail-to-brewpi-spark/1348/4

Having a problem getting the script to run
I've done many of the updates suggested to no avail
When I run if config command in the text it says
WLAN 100567 kb transmitted 0 errors 60432 dropped 0 skipped
Is this telling me that when I downloaded the program that it missed a whole bunch of info?
If so that would explain a lot

As I'm sitting here for the last hour watching my files get copied, it dawned on me...is the motion detector one of the services I should have stopped? Palm hits forehead.
How do I stop it, besides commenting it out in the autostart file and rebooting?
Could this be why I got "kernel in use" errors when running the sd card partitioning scripts?
You're fine, the motion detector doesn't write any files, it just pokes at functions, so file locking is a non-issue.
I've appended one of my stream-of-consciousness tomes covering the cloning process.
There's all kinds of messages included so you can see what to expect along the way (including those kernel messages you mentioned - they're normal).
It's kinda huge so apologies to others.
[edit] I should note how I came about the linked site that drove the procedure below: let's say your Pi fleet was built using 8GB uSD cards, and you have an extra card. SD cards have varying real capacities as flash chips are hardly ever perfect and the factory initialization accounts for defects by reducing the usable size. So it's pretty darned rare to have even two SD cards with exactly the same capacity, never mind a fleet of them.
One day I decided to use win32diskimager to create a cloned SD card from an image, but the program flat out refused because the target card was 64KB lower capacity than the source card. And in fact when I checked all of my SD cards, the spare one had the lowest real capacity, so I couldn't clone it from an image. Hence having to do a live-image clone was the only way to find joy, and fortunately, Matthew E Hoskins had a nicely documented procedure out there for the using...

So new SD card is SDC: SDC1
First, we need to create the two partitions to hold our /boot and / (slash) filesystems.
We do this with the GNU parted utility.

Now we need to mount these two partitions somewhere so we can copy data to it.
Let's make a temporary directory under /tmp/newpi and do all our work under it.
Below are the commands to mount our SD cards:
root@rpints: /home/pi# mkdir /tmp/newpi
root@rpints: mount /dev/sdc2 /tmp/newpi
root@rpints: mkdir /tmp/newpi/boot
root@rpints: mount /dev/sdc1 /tmp/newpi/boot
root@rpints: df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 13G 3.6G 8.8G 30% /
/dev/root 13G 3.6G 8.8G 30% /
devtmpfs 215M 0 215M 0% /dev
tmpfs 44M 320K 44M 1% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 88M 0 88M 0% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p5 60M 9.6M 50M 17% /boot
/dev/mmcblk0p3 27M 397K 25M 2% /media/SETTINGS
/dev/sdc2 15G 37M 14G 1% /tmp/newpi
/dev/sdc1 60M 0 60M 0% /tmp/newpi/boot
root@rpints:/home/pi#
The output of the "df" command will show us that both slash and boot have been mounted and are the expected sizes.
Next, we will execute a command to copy our existing raspbian OS installed on our running pi into our mounted SD card.
Now, a couple notes about live cloning.
If you are running any services that keep data files open (like mysql, postgresql, apt-get, or other applications) these should be shutdown to insure you get a clean copy.
We will use the rsync utility for this copy, we will tell it to only copy / (slash) and /boot, further, we will also tell rsync not to cross filesystem boundaries (--one-file-system).
Why do we specify slash (/) and boot separately? If you look above at the df listing you can see lots of other filesystems mounted.
Some of these are ramdisks and virtual filesystems (/sys, /dev, /tmp, and /proc for instance).
We do not want to copy these at all. By using the --one-file-system and specifying explicitly slash (/) and /boot, we only capture the OS tree of files. ( Note, the rsync is sensitive to trailing slashes on the source and destination directory names, make sure you run it exactly as below)
root@rpints:/home/pi# rsync -av --one-file-system / /boot /tmp/newpi/
[bazillion files copied to SD card!]
(NOOBs Users: If you are running a SD card created with NOOBs, you will need to manually modify the boot/cmdline.txt and etc/fstab files on your new SD card before you can boot. You must edit and substitute the mmcblk0p* device names for the proper ones.
In the etcfstab, slash (/) should be /dev/mmcblk0p and /boot should be /dev/mmcblk0p1.
In the boot/cmdline.txt file, root= part should be root=/dev/mmcblk0p2.
*** NOTE: NO CHANGES APPEAR TO BE NECESSARY
Once you have done that the OS that you backed up will be the only OS on the new SD card even if your NOOBs SD had multiple flavors of raspberry pi OS installed. My scripts on github discussed in the next section handle all of this automatically, which makes things a bit easier.)
These are just a few examples.
When your ready to try out your cloned SD card, you should unmount it using the following commands.
Make sure you close any shells or change your current working directory (cd) off the new devices or you will get an error when you try to unmount.
root# umount /tmp/newpi/boot
root# umount /tmp/newpi
You can now safely pull the SD card out and put it in your destination raspberry pi.
It should boot and work just like any other SD card.
AND IT WORKS! YAY!CadiBrewer

Thanks, seeing the error messages help a lot, as well as having the commands related to stopping the 'pints stuff handy in one "tome" as you put it.
Edit - it really does work.. I've got a small army of 2 backups now. Yay me. Now if I fry everything while trying to get BrewPi working, I can always go back to the comfort of my taplist by swapping out to a stable place.

Hi I'm trying to set up a Multiple Fermentation Chamber system. When i try the ls /dev/ttyACM* command I get no such file or directory. I've done a lot of searching but cant find the answer to my problems. I have cheap unos from ebay.
Could you provide a link to the "Uno" you bought?
Obviously, simply "pinging" the USB root ports for attached devices is pretty basic functionality. Even with a dodgy power scheme (eg: relying on the USB port to power the Uno) the thing should at least cough up an ACK.
Perhaps it'd be worth plugging something known to work into the host USB ports just to make sure they work?
Cheers!
And try a different USB cable. I could not get my cheap Inland UNO to be seen on a linux laptop (Could see it fine on a Windows 8 machine) until I switched to a better USB cable.

I am running into an issue installing on a RP2. I got to the steps following IsaacR454 mentioned earlier.
I get an error when trying to clone.
Cloning into '/home/brewpi'...
/home/brewpi/.git: No space left on device
I am using a 8gb card and all i have installed is raspbian wheezy and supporting brewpi things What do I do with this error?

There should be plenty of space, of course. After you wrote the Raspbian image onto the card and booted it up did you run raspi-config and select option 1 to expand the filesystem?
http://elinux.org/RPi_raspi-config
If you didn't then that could explain the problem.

That was it! ok so i followed the instructions from IsaacR454. I went to my IP to upload the HEX file to audrino UNO. It says script not running. I click the button to start script but nothing happens.
This is the code Im trying to have in my CRON job:
* * * * * brewpi python /home/brewpi/brewpi.py --checkstartuponly --dontrunfile; [ $? != 0 ] && python -u /home/brewpi/brewpi.py 1>/home/brewpi/logs/stdout.txt 2>>/home/brewpi/logs/stderr.txt &
but its owned by root and has this in the file
stderrpath="/home/brewpi/logs/stderr.txt"
stdoutpath="/home/brewpi/logs/stdout.txt"
scriptpath="/home/brewpi"
entries="brewpi wifichecker"
# entry:wifichecker

is this correct? Please help me figure out why my script is not running.
I tried to upload the HEX file (brewpi-arduino-uno-revC-0_2_10.hex) and this is what it is saying " also script is not running"

Heres the UNO: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131648832689?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I bought two and am having same problem with both.
So I tried using a new usb cable. Ive put my wifi dongle keyboard and mouse on usb hub, they all work great. I've directly plugged UNO into rpi. I tried codes $ ls /dev/ttyusb, $ ls /dev/ttyusb*, $ ls /dev/ttyusb0, $ ls /dev/ttyusb1, $ ls /dev/usb1*, $ ls /dev/ttyACM, $ ls /dev/ttyACM*, they all return ls: cannot access /dev/tty(whatever it was): No such file or directory.
When I go to $ ls /dev/ after I plug in UNO there is a ttyusb0 that wasn't there before I pluged it in. There is also a ttyusb1 if I plug both in. I've also plugged the UNO into a 12v wall power as well as the usb connection.I've tried all the codes every time I changed something.
Thanks for all your help.

Just use ttyUSB0 (zero) and as the back up ttyUSB1 in the config file
eg
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
altport = /dev/ttyUSB1
in the config.cfg file
try
$ sudo nano /home/brewpi/settings/config.cfg
and make the edits and save the file and exit
then continue with the install

I got my script to start by updating some more python exts. when i try to upload the HEX file still i get the no module tools error.
also Im still unsure on which Cron text we should be using with this legacy version.

If he intends to use both UNOs then using usb1 as altport will give issues in the future. but yes use the ttyusb0 in config. it seems you are having problems getting the script to start. have you given it enough time to start up and update the browser. and are you using the browser in rasbian or are you using something like safari or internet explorer, because then your browser will not show that the script is running.

I can start my script manually with SSH and it shows running. But soon as I close the SSH connection it kills my script. I can't seem to get the CRON job to work properly.
For the cron job issue, did you execute the fix_permissions script at any point since you completed the installation?
Also, which version of Raspbian are you using? Wheezy, or Jessie? (hopefully the former)
Cheers!

Great, at least you're not working with the handicap that has been Jessie around here 
fwiw, here's an example cron from one of my systems.
I've used both entries without apparent issue - the first one is actually from the version 0.3 (?) BrewPi from roughly a year ago, the second is what I believe is being provided by the current version.
Cheers!

Before I embark on my reload of this for the who knows how many times, I'm wondering if I can do all the steps to set this up using the Ethernet connection and then have it run over wifi thereafter?
I can't help but think that I'm not uploading all this code through the wifi reliably and that's were I'm running into difficulties.
Thanks

Thank you! do you have any insight into why when i try to load the HEX it gets half way down and then i start to have error: no module tool. I have the uno but i see in the config.cfg file it says board is boardType = leonardo should I change this? or does it get written once the aurdino is uploaded with HEX

should I try Xloader instead? this is the last piece of my puzzle to solve I think.
* edit I just tried using Xloader and it uploaded fine. I made sure to use fix permissions and then I retried to do the hex again with brewpi and this time it worked and found brewpi version and uno board. and now it is idle and has the count down!!!

So I can grasp the diagram regarding connecting everything. But my question is. ..how do I connect this to the fridge to cool the fermenting beer?
