Yes sir ... it's working now. Thanks!
The original Rpints doesn't work on Raspbian past Jessie/Wheezing because the MySQL calls it uses are depreciated most likely this error is because you cannot sign in as root on the latest msyqlWhen the next screen loads I get the below message and have no idea how to fix it, any ideas

an easier install process to get a version that works on the latest is to run this from the terminal on the pi
curl -L install.rpints.com | sudo bash
it will give you a choice to install mine (RandR+), Tobor, or original, Mine has a lot more features then the original and supports the latest OS, Tobor's is the original updated with the correct MySQL calls
it will move them out of the way, no need for you to do anythingDoes this override the previous files or do I have to delete them?

No reinstall needed I think. Just change the amount of taps to four in the "taps" section and assign the correct pin to the forth tap.Hi, apologies if this has already been covered in this thread. I have my three tap system working beautifully with flow meters but I'm considering adding a fourth tap to my keezer. Is this process straightforward or does it require a complete re-install?
I just found the setting, thanks!No reinstall needed I think. Just change the amount of taps to four in the "taps" section and assign the correct pin to the forth tap.
A "hidden" feature, set the make of the keg to start with cornthere are new "corny" images. How do I change the keg images to use them?
RandR+ said:A "hidden" feature, set the make of the keg to start with corn
i.e. Corny, Cornelius, Corn, CornOnTheCob
doneMay I make the request, and have Firestone added to the feature?

I use these, accurate enough for meAnyone know where I can source some of the flow meters?
I would say that if you wanted to use them for commercial measuring of flow then go with the swissflow, but for home hobby use they work great.What do you mean by accurate enough?

I haven't noticed any pours that are
way off though, if I pour ~12oz it registers ~12oz
technically yes, but there is no feature of RPints that updates the current amount poured as a beer is pouring and it would also require you to wire the flow meter from the transfer hose to the ArduinoCan you use a flow meter to measure how much beer I’m transferring to the kegs?
Those are a great price.
What do you mean by accurate enough?
Ok, here's a bit of an "out there" feature request. I just upgraded from a 5# co2 tank to a 20# one...I'm thinking it would be nice to have the tank sitting on some sort of load cell platform connected to either the pi, or the Arduino. Use cases besides the obvious tracking the remaining amount left could include having some kind of alarm on the display if the tank starts losing weight constantly. Basically a weight based leak detector. I need to see if I can find any suitable weighing platform....
I need to see if I can find any suitable weighing platform
Besides Plaato, my RPints python supports weighing kegs using HZ711 load cells, it would be a little modification to add in C02 tanks instead of just KegsI use a Plaato keg to track me kegs and co2.
The calibration tool only sets the count per gallon/liter per the tap (you must have show pin setting checked to see it on the tap screen)Have you been able to fix the issue where the pour registers far larger than it actually were calibrated for yet?
yesCan I use an Arduino Uno Board in place of the Alamode board?
ABV is setup in the Beer, you can setup OG/FG for auto calculation or just enter in the ABV you want.Is there a way to change the "reference" ABV to something other than 5% (or just not display the relative ABV as how full the glasses are)?
Not right now.Is there an specific way to show a coming soon other than just appending "Coming Soon" to the beer name?
In short the Flow Meter connection right up is the same as the original Rpints. They cannot to the Arduino ShieldIs there any kind of guide or writeup regarding the Motion Detector, Flow Meters, Temperature, etc. Do they all connect to an Alamode Board or Uno?
I just fixed that. There is a Get Latest RPints (On Admin -> Install Page) that will pull the changes from GitI noticed that there's a space missing between the amount left in the keg and 'Gal'. See below. Same for the amount poured
I've just finished installing RaspberryPints using the recommended install script. I used @RandR+'s version. It's fantastic, thank you!! I've got it up and running and configured to some extend. I have a few questions that I haven't been able to sort out yet.

I missed this in my original post.The local console (monitor attached to the RPi) should update immediately after any changes, pours, etc. A remote console (web connected) can auto-refresh at a specified interval if there's the appropriate meta tag in the R'Pints web page index.php file. I know I added that tag in my own version but not sure if it's in RandR+'s version. The blue line below is what I added, value is in seconds, so that's a 5 minute interval.

You can turn off ABV images in configuration

The Motion Detector and temperature probes options came out of this thread. there are not real write as they relate to Rpints but each has their own how to articles to connect. They both connect to the Raspberry Pi. If the temperature probes are hooked up correctly, RPints will see them and add them. The motion detector needs to be configured in the RPints admin Motion Detectors screen.
When you run my installer it prompts you to add the software needed for them, if you did not add them originally you can rerun the installer and reconfigure the system to add them.
I clicked Update and nothing really happened. Do I have to run the script again to update?I just fixed that. There is a Get Latest RPints (On Admin -> Install Page) that will pull the changes from Git

If Flowmon service is running (and stays running) when you open the tap display it will connect to the python and refresh whenever there is a pour automatically. I have a mounted tablet only connected to the wifi and it works great for this except when it loses WIFI or I restart Flowmon then I have to hit refresh to get it to reconnect.
If you enable displaying temperature probes on the main tap display page it will auto refresh every 5 seconds regardless. The temp probes do not send out the refresh signal
its not overly hard to, just need to find a place to put the button to prompt the user how much was pouredhow hard would it be to create the ability to enter ‘manual’ pours?
@fun4stuff I like your taplist! Where did you get those numbers and how did you add them?Try copying settings in these images. I only have the plaato keg on 4 of my taps so far.
And then to get the last pour to update i modified a line in index.php so that the page reloads every 10 seconds:
