    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I've got an old Leonardo but that's about it unfortunately. I could order a new rotary encoder

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I've got a nice little toggle switch laying around. How could I swap that in place of the rotary encoder? I don't make changes at the LCD anyway, but being able to turn on/off the LCD backlight would be nice

    Hmm. The rotary encoder is soldered in place on the pcb that is in between the LCD and Arduino. If I detach the encoder, I also detach the LCD. Is that an issue?

    Solder a permanent jump wire between 7 and ground?

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    The LCD backlight goes off after a little while post bootup but does not come on when turning the knob. I also tested jumping 8 to ground with no joy, again 9 to ground and no joy there either.

    well now the knob does nothing. I saw someone in an older thread mention pin 7 to ground. Are you sure it was 8 or 9 and not 7?

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    guess I need to take a look at the php for that button! Found BrewPi v0.2.12 build 8d36524, running on an Arduino Uno with a revC shield on port /dev/ttyACM0.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    That has been done :) and how I found this thread, I was looking for ways to troubleshoot the rotary encoder and found that you started a new project and I went down that path. It's great and tested well. I'm still having the issue where I can't flash the new 2.12 to the Arduino and the Rotary...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I'm totally willing to update to Brew Pi Remix, I'm running that on the Pi as my webfront and would like to update the Arduino UNO to your 2.12 branch but it's not working through the web interface. Hopefully I'm not coming across as abrasive. I'm very excited about this project and want to...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    BrewPi Remix is running on the Pi BrewPi v0.2.10 build unknown, running on an Arduino Uno with a revC shield Just to be clear on the two issues I'm seeing: 1. Rotary encoder will wake the lcd display but does not indicate any options to change anything 2. I am unable to program the arduino...

    Found it! Releases · brewpi-remix/brewpi-firmware-rmx Should I try this one? https://github.com/brewpi-remix/brewpi-firmware-rmx/releases/download/0.2.12/brewpi-arduino-uno-revc-0.2.12.hex I'm using the brewpi interface to upload the new HEX file but nothing seems to happen aside from the...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I dug into the BrewPiRemix site and it doesn't appear to mention using an Arduino UNO...did I overlook that? If new firmware is available, I'd give it a go.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I haven't flashed anything new to the Arduino since it has always worked aside from the rotary encoder. I bought a kit from Elco that was a pre soldered hat for the arduino rev C and have been using the same image ever since I initially flashed it.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    WOW... so I stumbled across this post when looking for support on the rotary encoder and found this huge new following for brewpi! I bought a legacy brewpi from Elco back in 2014 and have been loving this ever since. @LBussy, man thank you so much for keeping legacy brewpi alive. the rotary...

    Pull Through (dimpled) TC Ferrules for Soldering Prototype Stuff

    I used one of those to clamp the fitting the first time I did this and it worked well. I'll give it another shot with the surface prep you mentioned. Thanks for all the replies.

    Pull Through (dimpled) TC Ferrules for Soldering Prototype Stuff

    Right. Haven't been able get enough of a mechanical connection to take the abuse of tightening a fitting. Cracks every time.

    Pull Through (dimpled) TC Ferrules for Soldering Prototype Stuff

    anyone have advice on how to fix a mistake I made... I have all 1/2" fittings and made the hole in my kettle too large.. it's 1.0625 (1/16") I tried using a welding spud but wasn't able to achieve enough surface area or something and I couldn't get it to seal properly. I've done it twice...
