So I have mine up and running and here are some pictures and things I learned along the way...
my alamode does not like pin 11, it gives me crazy pour data (like 50-70oz at a time)
You must stop the flowmon script if you want to upload or make any changes via the arduino ide. sudo /etc/init.d/flowmon stop.. make sure you restart it after the upload. That burned hours troubleshooting a avr stk 500 error.
If you have a brewpi setup on the pi as well, unplug it(usb to the uno) when trying to upload to the alamode. It will show you having more serial ports, and will default to the uno board, making it really easy to flash over your brewpi...ask me how I know.
I am far from a whiz at this so it took me some trial and error. The instructions are not spot on in a few areas so you have to be ready for some Google fu.
Here is my setup, its not very pretty but it works and its modular and easily moved around, which proved priceless for all the troubleshooting I did.
Started with some dupont cables and cut them, soldering the end to a length of cat5(about 15ft).
