[Initial Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

[CaptnDelta]

Alright bout ready to throw in the towel on this one.
Redid the whole process with the other OS. Everything appeared to be rolling smoothly. I got all the way past installing chromium when the instructions required a reboot. It shut down started to reboot then went to a black screen. Nothing will pull it out. Anyone have any ideas?
Should I just wipe the card clean and start again?

Marginal power supply?
Bad HDMI cable?
Cheap SD card?

Could be any of those. If you try again, use a different card for now (to eliminate one of the problems). What are you using as power supply?

Cheers,
-Th

Everything was purchased off of Amazon through the links on raspberry pints for wo flow meters.
I'll give it a another shot tomorrow with a different card.
What's the minimum size card I'd need? The last one was a 16g

 

[CaptnDelta]

16gig is plenty, it'll run on a 4gig card.

If you got an iPhone, the little square chargers work well as power supply.

Cheers

Since I run my rpints on a tablet and I don't use the flow meters I wanted a cheap and dirty way to track pours. I think I may have mentioned in this thread before that I was working on some touch controls. Here is the first thing I've implemented:

http://brewingintheburgh.com/raspberrypints/

Tap (or click) on any row and a popup will appear allowing you to select how much you are pouring with a slider. Hit Pour and the amount you entered will be subtracted from the amount remaining in the keg. Simple and should at least give you a general idea how much you have left in the kegs.

If anyone is interested I will share the code.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Nice. Before the flow meters were an option (and I bought them) that was something I was wanting. Would still be nice for those times that for one reason or another the flow meters are out of commission (ahem... they come unplugged due to shoddy redneck rigged wiring. I really need to fix this)

 

[KCBrewer]

Thought I'd post a couple pics of my tap list. Tweaked the code for a landscape version. Seemed to make more sense for my setup. I haven't finished the code for the bottom row. Still deciding if I'm going to add flow sensors.

I should have taken a screen shot instead of using a camera. The words and colors show up much better than it looks in the pictures.

Very nice!

Any chance you could write up a "How To" for the gui changes?
There've been a couple of similar layouts buried in the bowels of one of the R'Pints threads, it'd be great to have one more current...

Cheers!

 

[JonW]

Nice job KCBrewer! Ditto on request for code. I like my dual column layout, but I like yours too! I'd like to try it out.

Thanks. I plan to post the code when I have it finished, and I'll see if I can put together a quick "How To".

Thanks. Your version was one I liked a lot when searching through here. It basically requires changing it from one loop that fills from each row of the database to a separate loop for each field of the database, plus some CSS changes.

I know I inquired about this a little while ago, but I was still wondering if anyone was able to split the display vertically to basically have two different keezers on display.
Ex. I have 2 different keezers so I would like to put "basement keezer" after tap #4 to show that these taps are in the basement vs. upstairs keezer.

I attached a picture of what JonW has, but was hoping to edit the index.php to do this vertically instead of horizontally.

Thank you for any input.

Not real clear on what you're asking for. You're not going to get a 2 column layout like mine in portrait (vertical) orientation - there just isn't enough width to show the info (which is why this is horizontal).

If you were to use the original layout in vertical, you could do what you want. You'd need to put some conditional code in the middle of the loop that draws the tap list to basically say "when tap = 4 then write new header". If you have 8 taps and 4 are upstairs and 4 are downstairs, you could do my layout with a header and/or footer for each column to say which keezer it is.

Just not clear on what exactly you're asking for though, so I can't really give any more guidance than this.

 

[ishcor2000]

I attached a picture of what I'm trying to do.

 

[JonW]

You need to insert some conditional code near the beginning of the tap list loop. This code needs to check if the tap # equals 1 and if so, write a keezer name description row. You can then repeat that if the tap # equals 5 and write the second keezer description row.

Below is a real basic example. Note that only the highlighted code is what has been added. You may need to do some addtional formatting.

 

[ishcor2000]

That's perfect! Thank you JonW!!!

 

[JonW]

Post a pic of how it looks when you get a chance.

 

[ishcor2000]

Here are some pics. Thanks!!

I'd be very interested in how you implemented this. I'm just starting to set up Raspberrypints, but I don't know if I'll jump right to flow meters. I love your solution for a starting point to track volume

I'd also be interested in this code. I am currently using code another user made for tracking pours in this post .

Wondering if anyone can help?
I have a Raspberry Pi2 running Fashion Jessie. Have come a long way into the raspberry pints set up. Now I'm stuck at the step to unzip Raspberry Pints 2.0.1 file.

I type sudo rm /var/www/index.html
I get this error

Rm: cannot remove '/var/www/index.html': No such file or directory

Also get other errors with other commands during this process.
It's doing my head in.......please help

You're not finding an index.html file in /var/www on Jessie - because unlike Wheezy, Jessie's default folder for web stuff moved to /var/www/html...

Cheers!

ok, sorry but im kinda new to the world of Raspberry Pi so not understanding what your saying.

is there a link i can follow that will help with the install? as the RaspberryPints website isnt much help at the moment

thanks for responding

Just type
sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html

instead. Of course you want to copy the RaspberryPints install files into
/var/www/html instead of /var/www/

 

[Drew7544]

Thanks but I tried that and this is what I got
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html
rm: cannot remove ‘/var/www/html/index.html’: No such file or directory

 

[volsherdeers]

Thanks but I tried that and this is what I got
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html
rm: cannot remove ‘/var/www/html/index.html’: No such file or directory

Click the up arrow in the file manager twice, go to var > www > html. Verify index.html is there!
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www (the R is upper case)
sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html

sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html

ok. done the mentioned steps.
clicked the up arrow in file manager twice, clicked var, then www then html and the folder is empty.

Step 6: "If you get an error message stating that the file was not found, you can safely disregard it."

Should be good to go! Extract Raspberrypints files to the HTML folder.

ok. ive extracted the zip file to HTML, then i type:
sudo rm /var/www/index.html
and get this error::::::

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo rm /var/www/index.html
rm: cannot remove ‘/var/www/index.html’: No such file or directory

I dont see index.html in there. Only the extracted file RaspberryPints 2.0.1


sorry to be a pain but ive no where else to turn as i really want this up and running for my homebrewery

thanks again

The command "sudo rm /var/www/index.html" is just there to delete the built in "This is a placeholder webpage" that is on the pi. You do not want to delete it again after extracting the files.

two questions:
- What happens when you open a web browser and type http://localhost/ in the address bar and hit enter?
- When you did the copy from the raspberrypints folder, did you copy the folder itself or did you copy the contents of the folder?
