[Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

[RandR+]

I'm thinking there needs to be a file at /var/www/html/ location that is for Raspberry Pints but I'm not sure.

Depending on how you unzip and were you placed it in /var/www/ may be the problem. there should be index.php in /var/www/html to load RPints

Is there a newer version everyone is going off of or can someone let me know if I might be missing something?

Most people use my version as it works with the latest PHP and Pi OS.

to install simply run
curl -L install.rpints.com | sudo bash

that will download and run an installation script i created that walks you through installation and ask what version to install. it is recommended to install mine or Tobor's version. Mine has a lot more features the the original and is being updated. Tobor's is the original recoded for the latest PHP.

It worked for me.

I never did give a shout out and Thanks to RandR+ and the others (you too day_trippr if you are one of them) that worked on this program to keep is alive and updated. As well as continue to help us computer illiterate limp along in this weird, perplexing computer script world. Cheers, if you're ever in Knoxville, TN... Beers on me as my appreciation!

 

[Bryce Brewer]

You guys are awesome, thanks for the quick response RandR+ and daytrippr! I will be playing with it tonight and look forward to getting this going. I'll let you know what I run into or hopefully will be able to post a success story soon!

Hi @RandR+ , I was installing the other day, and I think(?) I accidentally selected the wrong interface for the flow meters. (I selected USB and hit the space bar) it continued on, but the flow meters refuse to display. (This was a working setup, so it "should" be OK. Anyway, I went back to reconfigure, but the option to enable flow meters is not available. I get the reconfigure menu, then time, then motion detection, monitor resolution and orientation, Kiosk mode, then it exits. Is this expected?

Cheers!

It is expected right now because the installer script skips flowmeter configuration if they are enabled. You can disable flow meters through the tap list admin page by expanding settings then uncheck use flow monitoring

then run the reconfigure and it should ask you the flow meters setup questions

Ha ha, got it, thanks.

I'm not sure if this is related but I also have a question..

So, I have a TiltPi and Raspberry Pints set up on two different devices. I can see Raspberry Pints when I search it on my computer or phone but I can't find my TiltPi anymore.. was wondering if it was related..

Edit: My TiltPi (Pi Zero) is sending the info where I need it, but I probably need to fix that as well since I need to add a new device.

Also, is there anything special I should do before moving? Or can I just unplug the Pi and plug it in at my new place? I guess I'd have to reconfigure the Wi-Fi. Any other considerations I should be thinking about?

If your wifi stays the same, probably don't even have to configure that (ie. if you take the router with you.) Just pack it up and go.

I would do a controlled shutdown to make sure nothing gets corrupted.

When you say search do you mean like on the network or through a browser?

I will not be using the same router. It's the company's here. I'll be moving a bit away from here.

When I type in 192.1-whatever the rest of it is, it comes up with the message says it refused to connect. Though, it is doing what I need it to do, so

It sounds like ssh is not enabled. If you have a keyboard and monitor on the Pi, you can do a "sudo raspi-config" and look for "Interfaces" where you will need to enable ssh.

 

[Nella]

It's on a Pi zero.. so I wouldn't even know how to do that. It worked fine before and I never really paid attention to it after I hooked Raspberry Pints on my Pi 4.. or do I have a 3... I really don't know I'll have to look at receipts.

 

[LBussy]

Any of them - you would need to enable SSH using the raspi-config to use SSH since it's disabled by default.

 

[Nella]

Ok. I might just have to reload it. It used to work and now it does not take me to the display page when I try to pull it up. But it's still transmitting data, so maybe I won't bother until I move.

 

[LBussy]

Up to you. It's always bad to just unplug a Pi, there's a chance it will mess up the SD card. So long as you are prepared for that, yank away.

 

[LBussy]

This might be a good time to mention the new feature of the Raspberry Pi Imager. If you hit SHIFT-CTRL-X you will get an "advanced" menu where you can set up things like enabling SSH, changing the pi password, connecting to WiFi, and other nice tweaks. No idea why this is not more prominently featured in their UI:

 

[Nella]

Not trying to sound like a smart ass, but is there any way to "properly" shut down a Pi Zero? It's currently just sitting there connected to power. On my Pi 3, I know how to shut it down from the display, but with nothing connected it's lost power a few times but still ticking lol

 

[LBussy]

You either SSH in (a chicken and egg scenario) or use the connected keyboard and monitor. Since most folks don't seem to connect a keyboard and monitor, we see this a lot.

 

[LBussy]

but is there any way to "properly" shut down a Pi Zero?

It occurred to me that you may be asking a simpler question. Assuming you get access to the desktop, there is a "Shutdown" button in the start menu. If you have SSH access, the command is "sudo shutdown -h now". But, as I said, you need to get that access first.

Yeah, this is what my set up looks like but it does the job! Obviously my Raspberry Pints is a lot fancier and I love it!

 

[LBussy]

There are adapters that came with your Zero if you got a kit, or that you will need to buy, in order to attach a keyboard, mouse and monitor. Something like this:

You don’t need the header, but that was the cheapest set I found.

I finally got around to fixing this. It was a bug based on the fact that the list should show empty taps

What am I missing here. Is there a specific way to set this up under the "Taps" within Basic setup menu to not have repeating numbers? I'm still showing the double numbers. in the last 2 spaces. there is where I'd like to show beers on deck or being carb'ed.

 

[RandR+]

are you repeating the numbers in the tap list setup

 

[ruski]

no,

 

[RandR+]

no,

thanks for clarifying. Check <Root Folder>/img/tap/ to see if there is an image for taps 5 and 6 (i.e. file name tap5)

 

[RandR+]

no,

I misread the code, if the tap number is empty it looks to see if there is a image, if not it prints the iterator number as the tap number but in the case of 2 column tap list the iterator is the line number not the tap number if you remove
elseif(count($imgs) == 0){echo $i;}
from includes/beerListTable.php line 132 then it wont print anything when the tapnumber is empty

That sort of did the job. The class "tap circles" still show up, but the circles are empty showing no numbers. I looked in the beerlistTable and style.css to try to find were the heading for the "Bottles" was located. I was trying to see if you can change the display name to "up next" or "Upcoming".

Is it possible that easy by just changing the wording. or is there a series of code changes to make that occur?

Index.php line 254, it detects if any bottles are added to the system and if so prints the beer list with the bottles instead of the taps

 

[theglobalguy]

Is rpints.com down for anyone else? I'm getting a 403 forbidden error when I try to hit it.

Edit...doesn't matter...the curl command still works from github.
