Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

[Derp]

It seems like a file path error rather than necessarily a Circus one.

I'm not sure that circus was installed. I searched the system for "circus*" and only found one or two of your script files.

Thanks for looking into it, I'm looking forward to getting rid of my orphaned and unreliable BrewBit controller.

Time to drink some beer with the neighbors. Cheers!

So I tried running through the scripts both manually and automatically, and the verdict is... (almost) everything worked. There are three updates that I've made, but none of them should have had a substantive impact on your installation:

1. My wpa_supplicant.conf configuration doesn't work with Stretch. I've since updated it - but only in the non-mkdocs version of the documentation.
2. There was a bug which would prevent backing up/removing an old backup of fermentrack-tools if you tried to run the fully automated script twice. This should now be corrected.
3. The IP address that was supposed to display at the end of the install script wasn't displaying. This is now fixed.

I also added a new line to the "setup complete" banner containing the path used for fermentrack tools to help with diagnoising the issue you were facing.

All that said - I did all my testing just now on a Pi 3. I'm in the process of repeating the testing on a Pi Zero (with the fixes for the bugs above).

Given that I didn't face the same issue you had, how were you starting the install? Were you running

curl -L install.fermentrack.com | sudo bash

as pi on a new Raspbian installation or doing something else?

...and everything seems to have worked on the Pi Zero W as well.

Yep.

I just tried it again. Re-imaged the card, add SSH and wpa_supplicant.conf files, ran apt-get update and upgrade, made a few changes in raspi-config and then tried it again. Same error:

Thorrak, seen the updates and comments on github, is this why my version won’t acknowledge it’s been updated? View attachment IMG_1557.jpg I’m pretty sure I’ve updated this at least twice.

 

[Derp]

Not sure how it happened, but I ran the installer a few more times and it finally completed without errors. Fermentrack seems to be running fine now.

I'm glad it installed, but somewhat perplexed as to what caused the issue in the first place. The installs I ran all seemed to work, and circus should be installed when the upgrade script runs. Very, very strange. If you see something similar happen, let me know and I'll see if I can do anything else to recreate it.

Thorrak, seen the updates and comments on github, is this why my version won’t acknowledge it’s been updated? I’m pretty sure I’ve updated this at least twice.

This one is on me. I screwed something up, and managed to make things worse in trying to fix it. Log into your raspberry pi, sudo su fermentrack, change to the fermentrack directory, and run the following two commands:

git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master


This should force your local installation to update to match the remote version.

 

[Mikmonken]

Do i need to cd into Fermentrack-tools? I’m getting an error

.git/FETCH_HEAD permission denied

 

[Mikmonken]

Strike that I was in the wrong directory, all good now.

Looking forward to plotting my gravity soon with iSpindel.

 

[stbernts]

@Thorrak
I get this when trying your solution.


fermentrack@fermentrack:~$ git fetch --all
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I`m doing this in the /home/fermentrack directory.

 

[stbernts]

@Mikmonken Which dir did you do it from?

Never mind, forgot there is fermentrack under /home/fermentrack also.

Right path is /home/fermentrack/fermentrack for others who are low on memory...

Soon!

I think the standalone support is done as of now. Next is the BrewPi integration which is going to be a bit of a pain due to all the weird edge cases. (Have to make sure if you try to delete a BrewPi device that is actively logging a beer that it stops all the logs & unlinks the gravity sensor, for example)

 

[delux]

Is it safe to use the git update now? Is the bug fixt?

 

[Thorrak]

Is it safe to use the git update now? Is the bug fixt?

It's safe -- it just might not work. If it doesn't work you'll need to run those commands I pasted in earlier.

It won't help anyone currently afflicted by the upgrade bug, but I'll try to get a "failover" command added to Fermentrack to prevent this kind of issue in the future if I do something similarly boneheaded with Git.

 

[Thorrak]

I'm not sure if there's a better place to ask this, but if anyone out there has a refractometer or precision hydrometers in a reasonable OG range they wouldn't mind lending me for a weekend, I'd appreciate it. I'm looking to do a gravity testing round-up of various sensors (refractometer vs. digital refractometer vs. hydrometer vs. digital hydrometer vs. Tilt vs. iSpindel) but due to mistakes on my part managed to buy a precision hydrometer on the far high end of what most would consider "reasonable starting gravity."

I'm happy to pay for shipping on both sides & throw in a 3D printed BrewPi case/iSpindel sled/other 3D printed thing for the trouble. Shoot me a PM if you're interested & willing to help out!

 

[maxspencer]

i've built a esp8266 based brewpi controller which has been running my keezer for some months now. I noticed this weekend that the compressor was intermittent in starting. After some investigation, I think this is due to the low drive voltage (measured 3.2v) of the SSR directly from the esp8266. This seems like a common issue with these cheap fotek SSRs. They seem to need 5V to drive them reliably. I have a 5V supply driving the PI which the 8266 is connected to. I've read where some are connecting the + of the SSR to the 5V and using the 8266 to switch the ground side. It reads as though the GPIO pins should be 5V tolerant themselves. I can certainly try it and see if it works without failing, but wanted to know if others have done similar. the GPIO will need to hold off the 5V signal when 'high' and sink the SSR current when 'low'. suggestions?

There's actually a solution built into most of these relays. There's a jumper on the relay which currently bridged "JD-VCC" and "VCC". If you remove this jumper and wire the +5V to the VCC you should be fine.

Make sure you wire it to VCC, not the JDVCC side. Also, never bridge VCC and GND unless you want to have a bad time.

 

[maxspencer]

I'm running a fotek ssr, not these mechanical relays.

Reading comprehension. Clearly not my strong suit. ipe:

 

[Thorrak]

So I mentioned a few posts ago that I'm looking to do a test of various pieces of gravity sensing equipment, and I think things are starting to fall into place. Here's what my current plan is:

Thorrak's Gravity Sensor Showdown
Take a stack of gravity sensors, and test them all against one another.

The showdown will take place by pitting a list of peices of equipment used for gravity sensing against one another in five (four?) stages:

1. "Zero" Test - Test with water (or potentially distilled water)
2. Low Gravity Test - Mix up a solution of sugar + water to a theoretical gravity of 1.040 (not sure if this test is really meaningful)
3. SG Test - Mix up a solution of sugar + water to a theoretical gravity of 1.060
4. Fermentation Test - Ferment the mix used for the SG test. Monitor fermentation progress using active monitoring sensors.
5. FG Test - Test the post-fermentation gravity

The equipment I'll be using for the test falls into two groups - active monitoring & single measurement. Right this second, these are the sensors I'm proposing to use:

Single Measurement:

• Classic Triple Scale Hydrometer
• Herculometer Precision Hydrometer 1.000 to 1.070
• Classic Refractometer
• Milwaukee MA871 Digital Refractometer
• eDrometer Digital Hydrometer
• Anton Paar DMA35 Digital Hydrometer

Active Monitoring

• "Classic" (old) Tilt Hydrometer
• New Tilt Hydrometer
• iSpindel

The idea for the test is to see which how accurate each of these instruments is over a fermentation lifecycle, see how the active monitoring sensors fare when compared against more traditional counterparts, and compare the accuracy of refractometers (with corrective calculations!) to hydrometers.

I'll most more after I do the math on exactly how much sugar/water I'll be blending to make the test liquids, but before that - does anyone have any suggestions for changes/additional test cases, or think that I've missed some hardware which is critical to this test being useful? Am I going down the right path by thinking this would be an interesting comparison?

So I mentioned a few posts ago that I'm looking to do a test of various pieces of gravity sensing equipment, and I think things are starting to fall into place. Here's what my current plan is:

Thorrak's Gravity Sensor Showdown
Take a stack of gravity sensors, and test them all against one another.

The showdown will take place by pitting a list of peices of equipment used for gravity sensing against one another in five (four?) stages:

1. "Zero" Test - Test with water (or potentially distilled water)
2. Low Gravity Test - Mix up a solution of sugar + water to a theoretical gravity of 1.040 (not sure if this test is really meaningful)
3. SG Test - Mix up a solution of sugar + water to a theoretical gravity of 1.060
4. Fermentation Test - Ferment the mix used for the SG test. Monitor fermentation progress using active monitoring sensors.
5. FG Test - Test the post-fermentation gravity

The equipment I'll be using for the test falls into two groups - active monitoring & single measurement. Right this second, these are the sensors I'm proposing to use:

Single Measurement:

• Classic Triple Scale Hydrometer
• Herculometer Precision Hydrometer 1.000 to 1.070
• Classic Refractometer
• Milwaukee MA871 Digital Refractometer
• eDrometer Digital Hydrometer
• Anton Paar DMA35 Digital Hydrometer

Active Monitoring

• "Classic" (old) Tilt Hydrometer
• New Tilt Hydrometer
• iSpindel

The idea for the test is to see which how accurate each of these instruments is over a fermentation lifecycle, see how the active monitoring sensors fare when compared against more traditional counterparts, and compare the accuracy of refractometers (with corrective calculations!) to hydrometers.

I'll most more after I do the math on exactly how much sugar/water I'll be blending to make the test liquids, but before that - does anyone have any suggestions for changes/additional test cases, or think that I've missed some hardware which is critical to this test being useful? Am I going down the right path by thinking this would be an interesting comparison?

What are the goal for this test?
Are you developing you own calculations for the Tilt and iSpindel?

I own 3 Tilt`s, none of the show exact same number under fermenting. The are much more of an guidline then 100% correct.

Think you are in the zone of overdooing this - from what I see.

Agreed... I might regret it later, but the goal is to collect data to be able to answer ~3 questions:

• How accurate are the digital hydrometers in comparison to the manual hydrometers?
• How accurate are the refractometers (both against hydrometers & against each other)?
• What would the graph look like of all 3 'active' sensors running at once?

The ultimate goal is to help me overcome my gear hoarding problem. I've got a closet full of gear at the moment, and need to free up some space.

Personally I use iSpindel purely as an approximation of Gravity but as confirmation that fermentation is complete. And hopefully less contamination.

Actual abv I’ve grown not to be very arsed about.

I guess I’m wondering what you’ll get from it other than perhaps a really exact abv

Main thing I'm after is an excuse to get rid of stuff. I got really lucky and won the DMA35 in a contest earlier this year, but only after buying everything else. I figure I'll test everything, figure out which pieces of equipment fit my brewing style best, and sell everything else off.

Separately, I know how hard it was for me to get comparisons between gravity measurement hardware when I was in the market -- I'm hoping that the comparison will be useful to someone who may be interested in the same later on.

Extremely quick update:

Specific gravity integration works! I still have a few small things left to create (the ability to uninstall a sensor, for example) but next up is Tilt support.

 

[Thorrak]

I just pushed live a few updates which introduce some major features I’m quite proud of.

Added:
Specific gravity sensor support
Support for “manual” specific gravity sensors
Support for Huey, a distributed task queue


Removed:
Celery support
Rabbit-MQ, libzmq, libevent


What does this mean?

Specific Gravity Sensor Support:
Fermentrack now allows for the creation of specific gravity sensors to allow tracking of SG over the course of fermentation. Specific gravity tracking can be used alongside temperature controllers or on its own and supports features similar to that supported for temperature controllers (detailed logging, log tracking, etc.).

When a specific gravity sensor is attached to a temperature controller, the controller manages the log status of the sensor. Please note - active logging will be stopped when a gravity sensor is attached to a temperature sensor, but active fermentation profiles will continue as expected.


“Manual” Sensor Support:
Fermentrack now supports tracking gravity measurements taken by hand rather than via sensors such as the Tilt or iSpindel. Simply create the sensor and log your measurements. Easy!

Support for other temperature sensors (Tilt, iSpindel) is coming soon.


Huey Support/Celery Removal:
Fermentrack now uses Huey instead of Celery for asynchronous task queueing and completion. Huey is both more reliable and lighter weight, while remaining simple to develop for. No functionality currently relies on Celery/Huey, but future functionality is planned.

Removal of Celery also allowed for the removal of a handful of packages which were previously required (and in the case of rabbit-mq could potentially consume significant CPU/memory).

(Side note - on my main Fermentrack install, Celery had generated a 2GB log file of its own failures. Not going to pretend this change wasn’t related.)



How to Update:
In addition to updating from GitHub, this update requires several packages to be installed as root. For new Fermentrack installs, everything is installed/updated automatically. For existing installs, you will need to run the following command on an account that can sudo to root to update:

curl -L install-gravity-support.fermentrack.com | sudo bash

This will install the newly required packages, remove packages no longer required, and update the Fermentrack virtualenv. This will also install the packages required for future Tilt support.

As always, if you have any questions or experience any bugs, please let me know.

Have you given any though to adding the glycol system support that @pocketmon mentioned back in this post?

Something wrong with the DNS entry?

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: install-gravity-Support.fermentrack.com

 

[alexlark]

fermentrack.com appears to be down?

 

[stbernts]

504 Gateway Time-out

Broken Fermentrack as a result after hitting upgrade.

 

[alexlark]

Same here.

Can SSH in OK though.

my whole raspberry just broke down :/ Dont know whats wrong. Got 504 gateway problems after update, and when i did a reboot on my raspberry it will know turn back on. Its just froze in this picture

I hate iPhones. I wrote that post while waiting for a table at dinner last night. It's case sensitive - I've updated the original post, but the correct URL is:

install-gravity-support.fermentrack.com

Try re-running

curl -L install-gravity-support.fermentrack.com | sudo bash

and let me know if that fixes it. Part of the goal with this release was getting all the changes that could potentially break things when adding support for either Tilt, iSpindel, or Huey into a single update.

Ack! Your SD card looks like it's unhappy. That sucks.

I've got a (partial) solution for SD card issues in the works, but it's probably a good 6-9 months out. Sorry man.

 

[delux]

Okei. So I just clean the SD card and install raspi and fermentrack again?

@Thorrak - think something has been broken between Norway and other countries. But it`s retrivable now.

Get this when running the update.
