Eh. Yeah. It's not necessary. But I wouldn't mind having a display in case the Pi's web server cores or the Pi loses network connection or whatever. That way, I could tell at a glance that my beer temp didn't climb way over where it should be. I may order an LCD like comes with a BrewPi so I can just wire it up like it is originally designed.
Now thats the best reason I've heard for an LCD display...
Not necessary, yes. Worthless, I don't think so. I walk by my fermentation chamber many times a day mad like to be able to look at it to see what it's doing.

Isnt that what a smart phone is for? Why spend $20+ to hook up a crappy 3 line LCD lol..you could buy a old Iphone gen1 or some cheap old android tablet on CL for less and leave on at your fermenter, and have a better screen just constantly displaying the web interface.
If its just for the DIY factor i suppose i can understand, its just such a worthless component in the brewpi setup IMO.
Thats the whole reason for the Arduino in the first place, because whatever temperature you set via the BrewPi interface will continue to operate if the RPI dies...
Hey Fuzze
I've seen you mention this on more than one occasion. How often does the rpi die generally? Is it wise to just go ahead and reboot the rpi on a regular basis?

Thanks Fuzze. I'll check that out. I have another more frustrating problem... I'm trying to set up my BrewPi web interface to be accessible anywhere via my IP address. I have been able to connect to it just fine without any security, but once I try to add an .htaccess file, all I get is a 500 error. I've tried extremely simple htaccess files and I've directly copied yours, but no matter what I try, this is all I get:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/svoh6ood0b83wvs/Screen Shot 2014-06-09 at 11.45.14 AM.png
The apache logs aren't any help either... I'd love to be able to get this working without having to SSH into my computer and edit my apache2.conf file every time I want to view it.
Okay, so I'm getting married this weekend and have had very little time to work on my set up. That said I am having trouble getting it sent to the web. I have a site and pick up a DNS service. Mainly its my lack of coding. Reading the instructions on page 9, which are great BTW. Though I'm not sure what kind of editor is being referred to in the post and some as simple as "create a folder called XXX" is tripping me up cause I haven't worked in commands all that much.
When I get a chance to try again, would one of you guys be willing to help me out via pm so I don't fill this thread full of my silly questions?
[...]I just might ghost the SD card so that if I have issues, I can just re-image the card and start over quickly.
What was complaining about Wifi? The RPI?
If you're on Windows I recommend win32diskimager.
I could not count how many images I've made - and how many times that's saved me from having to back-track beyond just "the latest experiment". I actually picked up another SD card so I can always have a card with the latest "Golden Image" ready when something totally craters
Cheers!
On my pi I had to change the default file as outlined in this post, but my file was called 000-default but was in the same directory.
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
sudo nano default
<SNIP>
Cheers!
I'm a little of both, but you wouldnt use a tar.gz instead? I could go either way... (where's that little limp wristed smiley...)
Nope - just default
I wrote up what I did here if you want to triple-check your steps
With those teeny tiny wires coming out of the prebuilt temp probes, are people really using wire nuts to connect the wiring up? I started twisting some together and thought that there has to be a better way or I'm using the wrong wire size.
Day_trippr, what post# is that? The URL won't work for me since I changed #posts/pg setting. The URL is pointing to page 46 and I'm seeing this page as page 32.
Unless you've managed to get BrewPi to warp the space-time continuum to post in the future; and if you have, where is that setting on the web interface?
Edit: NM, #456, just changed my #ppp and found it. Sorry to be lazy and ask.
