I've been hard at work over the past few months, and as a result have a number of updates across my suite of projects which I've announced. The full list is available
here -- but one change impacts
BrewFlasher Command Line Edition which warrants mention.
Apparently, in more recent Raspberry Pi OS releases, the use of system-wide packages is now blocked, so installing BrewFlasher CLI is no longer as simple as running the appropriate pip install command. To enable easy installation, I've merged the installation of BrewFlasher CLI into the Fermentrack 2 Tools scripts.
Although it doesn't hurt to attempt the pip install command above, if it fails, you can now do the following:
Installing BrewFlasher CLI with the FT2 Tools Install Script
- Run the script over the network: (be sure to select yes to installing BrewFlasher CLI).
Code:
bash <(curl -sSL http://localtools.fermentrack.net)
- Change to the ft2_tools directory (if you aren't already there):
- ...then run it via the command line:
One advantage to this install method - the installation script can now install avrdude if it is missing, enabling BrewFlasher CLI to flash Arduino-based devices.
For those that follow my other projects, check out the blog post mentioned above, as there have also been updates to TiltBridge, BrewPi-ESP, Fermentrack 2, and my hardware designs. As always, enjoy, and happy brewing!
