That sounds like a Fermentrack bug rather than a BrewPi one. Good news is that it makes it easier to fix
I’ll take a look - I’ve opened an issue on GitHub to track against for the time being: https://github.com/thorrak/fermentrack/issues/389
Thorrak I noticed you had addressed this with an update so I clicked on the gear icon and selected "update from github" but I received a notice "Nothing to upgrade - Local copy and GitHub are at same commit"
Is there a specific way I should be doing the update. SSH and use gpt-update?
As I posted last week, I've been going through each of the PCBs I have designed for this project (with@LBussy and @gromitdj 's help (and @day_trippr even though he might not realize it!)) and am looking to get one additional line of PCBs added that specifically have provisions for ditching the sensor board and connecting 2-3 temperature sensors directly to the controller board itself. That said, a question/request for help:
For those of you who don't use a sensor breakout board, what are you using to hook your temperature sensors up?
I'm looking for something that meets the following criteria, and haven't managed to find the right thing just yet:
While I'm pretty happy with the sensor board in my personal builds, I'd like to offer an easy solution for anyone who might not be, so any help that you guys can provide would be much appreciated!
- Inexpensive/readily available
- Easily installed onto a controller board (e.g. short runs of wire, something where the jack directly attaches to the PCB, etc.)
- Easily installed onto DS18b20 temp sensors (not RJ-11)
- Supports the 3 wires necessary for DS18b20 sensors to work
When you go to the "gear" icon and click through to force the update, what branch does it say you are updating from? It should either be "dev" or "master".
My guess is that you are updating from master, which is why you aren't seeing the fix yet -- I'm going to release everything currently on dev to master next week.
Of course, if you're on dev and aren't seeing it, then that's another issue entirely.
Running power through that style of connector is generally not a great idea as insertion and removal shorts the receptacle poles together. If you never, ever did that on a running system you might get away with it but on a running machine it could easily cause it to reboot...
Cheers!
mmv indeed. I would never go that route...
Cheers!
Do these connectors avoid the shorting issue?

There's always a right way to do something, and running current through an audio plug isn't it, ime...
Cheers!

Here is everything tagged “Fermentrack” on PCBs.io: https://pcbs.io/search?tag=fermentrack
That should include both the new and historic boards.
Which board are you specifically looking for? The one you linked is the old style RJ-11 No-LCD board. Is that the one you want?Can you share the link to my board’s .brd and .sch files so I can upload them to OSHPark? I looked in the repo but I couldn’t find them and be sure that it is the RJ11 version. Unfortunately, I ordered on pcbs.io website 2 weeks ago and I have not received a confirmation. I tried to email support 3 times and have gotten no reply so I am going to try OSHPark.

I'll send you a PM /w a linkYes. That is correct. I have RJ-11 one wire temperature probes so wanting to go that route.
That's a big chipAlthough the project they're for isn’t quite yet done/ready to announce, the test boards I just got are incredibly sexy if I may say so myself:

Hello,
I have maybe a stupid question. I have looked into the tread but didn't found a clear answer.
At the moment I am using craftbeerpi for my fermentation fridge but it's the second time I have my beer frozen.
I was looking at fermentrack but
At the place where I brew, I don't have internet connection, I use the internet connection of my phone when I am there and from my home to configure my raspberry pi.
I don't mind to don't had the live information remotely when I not there.
Can fermentrack work properly with no internet.
Ps: I am french sorry for my funny English
If you have a wireless router available (even if disconnected from the internet) you can also still use the WiFi controller functionality without internet access. Another option if you want to use it!

Thanks a lot Thorrak !
Yes i have a router free.
The podcast from homebrewing DIY about fermentrack finish to convincing me about giving a try.
I have read the fermentrack website and fews pages of this tread not the 72 pages yet.
If i understand good to convert my craftbeerpi panel fermenter (raspberry pi3 and DS18B20 on xlr connector) i just need to order one ESP8266 (LOLIN D1 mini V3.1.0) from aliexpress and one pcb to connect the esp8266 and my ds18b20.
At the moment i try to understand witch pcb i need from pcbs.io because my DS18B20 are connected via xlr connectors and not rj45.
There's a lot more than that going in the box. I'm shoving stuff in it until either my desk is clean, or it gets full.That's not a mystery! The picture shows everything!
