How's it feel to have a permanent SWMBO?
Congrats by the way.

I think you can but have to have a second arduino.
Perhaps I missed it..he Brewpi can only use 2 sensors, but can I add more to monitor other fermenters? I.e my chamber holds more than one fermenter. I control the chamber off one, but would like to see temps on the others.
thanks
Room temperature sensor: this sensor is not used in the control algorithm, but the data will be logged and displayed in the graphs. If you want to put it into a secondary beer, that is entirely up to you
Thank you.
I guess I need to locate an old Pentium laptop to dedicate to this project I just cant tie up the PI.
Thank you.

Look at good will or salvation army stores, a few near me have old ass laptops in their glass cases up front. I bet you may get one cheap, then again a lot of their electronics are overpriced for what they are so the 20 bucks might just be better spent towards another rpi.
So what's a good heat source? My brewpi is up and running!
Looks good to me. Don't really want to mess with a heat wrap so that's probably a good option.

So after having the AlaMode running on my development 'Pi for a couple of days and getting to know Arduino, it just dawned on me¹ that running BrewPi with Raspberry Pints V2 isn't going to happen - at least, not without adding Even More Hardware. Which - if I needed Yet Another Controller - wouldn't be a BFD for me. Just add an Uno to the equation. Not a deal breaker, imo.
¹ Well, actually two problems - one a huge show-stopping deal, the other theoretical: Arduino runs one sketch at a time, period. No concurrency allowed. That's kinda huge. Otherwise, even if you could rapidly swap or somehow link sketches to give the appearance of a multi-tasking "system", my perspective is an Arduino will be working hard to keep up with responding to flow meters as it is.
So there it is. At first glance I don't see any problem running a second Arduino servicing the BrewPi code while the AlaMode works flow meters, with both reporting to their respective 'Pi threads...
Cheers!
If ^that was in response to my post, I think you're missing a lot here that a dozen PiFaces could never possibly solve...
Cheers!
I see no reason one rpi can't run two arduinos as you said. In the grand scheme of it the arduinos are the cheap bits, if I remember correctly those flow meters are like 40 or something each, so what's another 15 for an arduino
OK you lost me on most it would be possible, it is just the extra stuff that would cause a problem?
By the way how would I figure out what IP Address the MYSQL Server is using in a VM. I installed it via the command line directions.
