    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    looks very promising - hopefully one for each fermenter - Fermwatch was very good but it only does one fermenter

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    This is the valve I use - draws no current when closed and is only opened briefly to reduce pressure - had no problems so far

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    my system is to keep it closed until pressure hits desired level and then activate - I not sure why it would overheat - they are rated for continuous use, and it is electrically isolated from the ESP

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Pressure is monitored by a pressure transducer on GPIO 3 which activates a solenoid valve with a small hole to release pressure slowly. I also want to replace the two buttons with a Rotary Encoder via a PCF8754 expander

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Thanks for that - what if I were to replace the two buttons with a PCF8754 and Rotary Encoder - would I have to amend the config.h file or is there a bin file that covers it. So, my desired setup is ESP8266, ILI9341 LCD, and Rotary Encoder - I have downloaded BrewPiLess-master.zip and have...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    What bin file can I use with a ESP8266 or an ESP32, to run BrewpiLess, with glycol cooling , wire heating and fermenting under pressure

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    I have three RPi's, one is running Magic Mirror, one is running Raspberry Pints and the last runs Fermentrack - what I would like to achieve is that when no-one is in the room the display goes black and turns back on when movement is detected. I will give this script a run and maybe modify it to...

    I should add that screen blanking is set to ON and that the python file has been made executable

    Hi Thorrak, I am trying to blank a raspberry pi screen with a PIR, and I have written this script - it runs OK buy only displays "display_blank 1 on the serial monitor and doesn't change - i replaced the pir with no change and have successfully run a test script to show that the PIR is working -...

    Can you actually *buy* a Raspberry Pi these days?

    I am trying with a PIR to blank a raspberry pi screen, and I have written this script - it runs OK buy only displays "display_blank 1 on the serial monitor and doesn't change - i replaced the pir with no change - the pir is on GPIO 23 (pin16) - what's wrong with the code. import os import time...

    No need to apologise - you must get bored with twits like me trying to get a software controlled fermentation system running

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    OK did all that and wired TFT as shown - temp OK - relays don't work, TFT doesn't work. looked at buying your PCB but they are out of stock. I have four fermenters which are free standing, insulated and they are all stainless. cooling is carried out using a relay controlled glycol system and...
