    BrewPiLessGx: BrewPiLess with Touched TFT display

    I found this when struggling flashing the device: https://github.com/janick/WT32-SqLn I think my first flashing was successful, but either it was in download mode or the program crashed just after boot-up. (The bug was fixed later) Seeing no response, I tried another flashing. It failed at 38%...

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    I've tested it in water to conclude that the tilting angle is smaller when the temperature drops.

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    X axis is temperature in Celsius. At around 20°C, the tilt angle is around 25.4°, while it is 25.1° at 8°C. For my Pill, that difference is translated to almost 1 point(0.001). It is even worse if "temperature correction for hydrometer" is applied. The temperature is getting hotter, and my...

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    Changing the report period to 5 minutes, the battery seems to last longer than I have expected. Well, I don't know how long it will be, but it is 71% now after two months. At least 4 to 6 months can be expected. One issue I have when brewing lager is tilt angle drift caused by (maybe) the...

    Please read the "Readme.md" in the project, Custom Hardware section. I would recommend against resistive touch panel. According to my experience, calibration is necessary. My experience might be outdated, though.

    BrewPiLessGx: BrewPiLess with Touched TFT display

    It took me a while to bring WT-SC01+ on, for 1. I had to find a way to make it in download mode. Finally I found that shorting GPIO0 and GND works 30~50% of the time for me. 2. The device won't boot-up normally but remain in download mode after downloaded, which makes me think it's dead. 3. I...

    BrewPiLessGx: BrewPiLess with Touched TFT display

    Yeah. It took me a while to adapt to LGFX. Although the driver matches the chip, there are parameters that seems to differ from drivers to drivers, like rotation, color, and even position shift. I would suggest to use GPIO10 for ADC, because ADC2, GPIO 11~20, is also used by WiFi. That is the...

    I don't have that display and haven't tested on it. It is supported by SmartDisplay library. However, I've ditched SmartDisplay library and change to LGFX library for more drivers.

    Aerate during fermentation

    According to Dr. Clayton Cone, 14th hour into fermentation is the optimum time to add the oxygen. https://hbd.org/hbd/archive/3301.html#3301-1 In the Yeast book, it is suggested to add a second dose of oxygen between 12 and 18 hours.

    WT32 SC01+ is a ESP32S3 device, so add -DCONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32S3=true to the build_flags in platformio.ini . Moreover, only GPIO 10, in this case, is good for ADC.

    @OpenFermenter The glycol related information is now available. You can use the following tag to display: - Glycol Temperature: glt - Glycol Temperature Set: glts - Glycol status time: gle ( The time since last state changed.) - Glycol Cooler state: gls ( enumeration(text or icons). 0: Off...

    GlycolSet is not currently available, It can be added easily as well as the status of glycol cooling. On the other hand, an "extra" temperature reading for real room temperature is more complicated. I implemented this glycol temperature control when I was using glycol to chill my beer in...

    I am happy to see that it works for you. You might wanna change the "Room" label to "Glycol" and maybe ditch FridgeTemp and FridgeSet. You can use the SkinEditor to modify the JSON file. https://github.com/vitotai/BrewPiLessGx/tree/main/extra/SkinEditor Copy the contents of...

    BrewPiLessGx: BrewPiLess with Touched TFT display

    There is no easy way, although it is not too difficult. There would be a new class for "remote web actuators" which defines the link and relay control. It would be better to have another separated managing class that has an interface for DeviceManager to "find" new devices available and "assign"...

    BrewPiLessGx: BrewPiLess with Touched TFT display

    No. Maybe there won't be one. Please take this open source project as your base and build your own. I've learned there are more number of LCDs people want than the number of people who are interested in this project, I won't build any binary for devices that I don't have for this project, which...

    BrewPiLessGx: BrewPiLess with Touched TFT display

    I might have come across it, but I didn't think it's a good candidate. I don't have any experience with RS485 and CAN bus. Having I2C bus is plus, but the PINs are dedicated for I2C bus. I've played with I2C IO expanders, so that expands more than enough IO pins. However, it is difficult to run...

    I haven't built a working setup. The four-wire connector came with the display module and is the only connector I have. The temperature probes are DS18B20, which uses OneWire bus. The four-wire socket has 3V3, GND, and two IO Pins. One one the IO pin can be used to control relay(heating or...

    I hate wiring, and that's the reason I bought a "module". I tried a few LCD driver and finally SmartDisplay library works after some fiddling, and I am reluctant to change to more generic driver library. Reversed color, flipped display, and etc. are common issues in LVGL porting. I learned that...

    Save Pill signal locally before it goes to the cloud?

    Save Pill signal locally before it goes to the cloud?

    You need new log viewer to view logs of version 4.4. I just updated the new viewer. Check dist subfolder of HTMLJS on Github. The format changed a little bit. The calibration data after 4.4 survives through batches, and it will be written into logs every it changes and when the log starts.
