Now it seems the right-hand side gets cut off a bit. And yes it shows like this on the Pi display not just in my Mac browser.
Can i see a full picture of your list or get a database backup (through the install page hit backup and it will place the file in the /sql/backups directory.

My test system isnt doing it so i suspect its a beer name length issue that is causing it
 
apparently that view never was in or got removed from the update script so if you updated from before accolades were a thing you would get that error.

I added that view to the update sql so another update should fix that error
That’s fixed it. Thanks mate. What exactly are beers batches and where are they shown?

Just a stab in the dark, but I imagine I can use that if I were to make 10-gallons of a base beer but I wanted to split ferment...I could now create two batches from 1 beer and track its consumption...and have a nice detailed log of what the heck I did.
 
What exactly are beers batches and where are they shown?
A beer batch is a specific brew of a beer, essentially a digital brew log.
The reason behind them was to allow iSpindels to update the FG of each different brew (as well as track temp) automatically without affecting the master beer record.
You could split a brew into different fermenters and track them as separate batches (i.e. with different yeasts or fermentation condition) and make notes on each batch.

Any batch that has a current amount greater than 0 will show up in any beer list to allow you to select it (i.e. keg, iSpindel, charts). If its on a keg the main display will show it as on tap as a specific batch so you can know what you are tasting and determine if there is a batch you like more and what you did differently
 
keg #2 kicked now, 1 and 3 still have around 5litres each. Spot on?

I am moving to loadcells for sure.

Does the log show that they kicked or had phantom pours?

Im testing a change to the sketch to help prevent phantom kicks which may also help phantom pours but unlikely
 
How can i check that?
The problem is phantom pours from anything around 50ml and up to 15l pr pour.
 
Don't know what to say other than "results may differ" I guess.

Cheers!

I have little cheep-o flow meters and I’m always +/- 20oz. (and I don’t measure weight when filling a keg) …. all I need to know is when I’m in that danger zone and the keg turns red.

luckily, no phantom pours or kicks….. though I had the super weird double pours for a little bit at the beginning.

Are your meters mounted horizontally? Vertical meters, especially the sensitive/accurate ones, are susceptible to bubbles causing phantom pours. It makes sense if you think about it.

That was my theory as well, since i was not aware of this issue when i installed them, my three flowmeters are mounted horizontal, 45°ish and vertical.
However i get ghost pours on all taps, the one being 45° is the worst, and the horizontal best but still not good.

RandR: ill check the logs when i get home.
 
You might think about even pointing them down, so there would be an "air trap" above them. You;d still want to understand why it's generating bubbles, but if that helps, that's one problem solved.
 
look at /var/log/rpints.log or the Log Admin page for the keg/tap to see when it kicked and if it was on a pour or kick detected.

Just restarted, so this is all there is, had one phantom pour after reboot.

Edit: no real pours after reboot.
 
Sure, but i also get phantoms of 7-15 litres...
unplug the meter and check for phantom pours.

One time i was getting them i unplugged for a bit then plug back in and they went away. i think it was a loose wire
 
The big ones just come on one tap, and that is the one being vertical, and normally within a couple of hours after its actually have been poured from, so i think maybe the placement is the real issue here. I will get some more beer line and move them horizontal.
 
So far so good, put all flowsensors horizontal and on a lowpoint at saturday, and still no ghostpours :).

However:

I've seen everything between 4.7K to 10K, I'm using 4.7 and it's working fine!

While i was at it, i connected a DS18B20 temp sensor like this, with a 4.7K resistor, but it does not show up i the temp probe menu. Do i need to change something somewhere to get it to display, or could it be a broken sensor?

When installing Rpints did you specify to use Temp Probes? If not rerun the installer and select reconfigure Rpints that will reprompt you to use Temp Probes.

If so check /sys/bus/w1/devices/ for directories that start with 28 and contain a w1_slave file. If that doesnt exists then the temp probe isnt being looked at if it does exists then rpints isnt reading it.
either way Check /var/log/rpints.log (or the log admin page) to see if you can find anything about temp sensors or exceptions

So just run the:
curl -L install.rpints.com | sudo bash
command, and i will not loose all settings?

If you select the reconfigure pi/enable features
1625075538740.png

that only takes you through the prompts like pi password, time, monitor, Install Flowmeters, installer temp probes....
 
Ok, will try that.

The .../devices folder are empty, but in the log there are a line saying: 1wire temperature Thread 1 is running
 
1wire temperature Thread 1 is running
That sounds likes its enabled then

you can try running the commands to start one wire manual through the terminal
sudo modprobe w1-gpio
sudo modprobe w1-therm

Rpints runs those commands before trying to get temperatures. After that im not much help as i dont actually run temp probes.
 
Ok, so it will not accept a lot of letters from the keyboard, so i am not able to type the command, and i can not enter internet as my Chromium page does not have any adress bar....

Any other way to enter setup?
 
Got to run the command using copy/paste from a document...

But i get this error after running "update rpints"

image.jpg

The box translates to something like " cannot interpret out data from diff. "
 
I dont think that is an error as much as saying there isnt any differences you can probably ignore
Just realized i should use reconfig and not update... reconfiged with temp probe, and the "no temp probe detected" disappeared, but i dont find the temp displayed anywhere either.
"Use temp probe" is ticked.
