Could be a bad USB cable. I'm using a PC running Debian instead of the RaspPi, so the PSU shouldn't be bad on that. BUT I am connecting the Arduino power to the computer USB outlet. That could be the problem. I will try to connect it to a power outlet with a USB-to-outlet adapter when I get...

Are the Brewpi and Arduino Uno versions supposed to be the same? The LCD screen on my browser displays "Could not receive controller version. Please (re) program your controller". I updated the script with sudo ~/brewpi-tools/updater.py It updated Brewpi. However when I hit yes to update...

Mine has been having trouble too, as I wrote in a previous post a week or two ago. With the lager that I have going now, I noticed that if I just leave the PC alone, it will continue with the program. However if I wake up the PC, the script stops. Also, when I wake up the computer the data...

Is this only in the cron file? I was checking around in the directories and found a cron file that had "wifichecker" in it. This was the issue that was displaying on the prompt on BrewPi page. I just don't want to delete the cron file and crash everything if there's another script that calls...

I did the same when I was working on the PC next to the router. It worked fine then.

Using a PC with Debian, which, along with not being on a WiFi Network, is causing a lot of the issues. Restarting the PC doesn't fix it. It completely stopped working yesterday. After 4 or 5 restarts, going to bed, and trying again in the morning, I got the BrewPi to work on Iceweasel. And...

Here's the problem that I'm having. Seems like it's been document before that it's wifi and/or browser. I'm using chromium and/or iceweasel on debian. http://forum.brewpi.com/discussion/719/resolved-intermittent-cannot-receive-lcd-text-from-python-script-inconsistent-state-of-devices Here is...

Guess I lied about it being 100%... Hope I'll be out of everyone's hair soon enough. My setup is in the basement with no Wifi access. So I have my BrewPi hooked up to a static IP with wlan0, even though it can't connect to a network. I just use a monitor, keyboard, and mouse right there...

I don't use them. Made 15 batches with tap water. No problems with that. They use chlorine, not any organic chlorine derivatives. Mentioned above, I'm not the best at trying to pinpoint flavors. It very well could be astringent/metallic. Glacier Water (http://glacierwater.com/) is...

I'm terrible at pinpointing the exact aftertaste. Medicinal, metallic, astringent? Maybe 1, maybe all. Hope this is the problem, learn, and move on.

Same idea I had. I just didn't know how the software was configured. I'm using a PC, and, as soon as you said this, I realized that I could just use a USB fan. It's on the way! Thanks for the Ah Hah! moment.

Trying to pinpoint an unfortunate aftertaste for my most recent Belgian pale ale. Just bottled my first batch where I altered the ions in my water to fit the correct style. Just made two batches three weeks ago. Same TYB Dry Belgian yeast, used a starter. One batch was a "quick sour", with...

BrewPi is 100% up and running! Now if only I had a beer that needed fermenting today! I am curious about the wiring diagram for adding a CPU fan for a uniform air temp. I tried googling "brewpi CPU fan wiring diagram site:https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=466106" and searching...

Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for!

If correcting the tab on the outlet doesn't work, I'll give that a look over. Thanks.
