No. Everything is stock.
[...]I also picked up a Grove serial LCD display and I'm not sure how to go about getting it to work with BrewPi. I'm new to Arduino, but I did a search and couldn't find anything on using this type of display with BrewPi, and since it only has 4 wires, GND, VCC, RX, and TX, it seems like I'll have to code it myself. I'm wondering if that will be possible using either the Arduino scripting language or Python? I'm not a programmer so that's all I can code in.
You're definitely on your own on that one. I'm pretty sure you would need to install the full Atmel Studio suite to be able to code up and compile the additional/replacement module needed to enable a secondary serial port to drive the display and the code to translate the transaction set to run it...
Cheers!
Looking for help...I've followed the diagram on the first page and have the temp probes working. However, I can not get the electrical outlet to actually switch on or off.
I have a PC power cord that has a blue, brown (tan?), and green w/ yellow stripe wire coming of it.
-I wired the the blue wire to the left side in place of the white wire you see in the diagram.
- I wired the green w/ yellow wire to the bottom left side in place of the green wire you see in the diagram
- I ran two wires (red in the diagram) from the right side of the outlet to to the corresponding spot on the SSR as shown in the diagram
- I wired the brown/tan wire (black in the diagram) to the corresponding spot on the SSR as show in the diagram
- I broke the tab on the right side
Questions/Observations
---
- Do i need to break the tab on both sides of the outlet?
- When I set BrewPi to Heat, IN1 light comes on, on the SSR
- When I set BrewPi to Cool, IN2 light does not come on, on the SSR
Here's the original wiring diagram with the new outlet added. It's basically just an extra unswitched outlet that you can stuff inside your enclosure with the adapter to keep things neat.
There is no ac adapter in the diagram. I think what you're calling the Raspberry Pi's plug might actually be the ac adapter. If you don't understand the circuit or know exactly what you're doing I'd recommend against attempting any modifications.
Plug socket
I designed it (well, was able to get the EPS files from the guy who did the official BrewPi case so used his joining system), and then had a company here in the Bay Area laser it out. Was actually not that expensive, an enclosure the same size would have been around $25, and this was just $10 more (since I was able to go pick it up) and would have had to cut everything out myself (in otherwords, hack the everloving crap out of a plastic box!)
Hello everyone. This is my first post so sorry if it sounds dumb. I'm just about to take my leap into the wonderful world of homebrew but I have a quick question. I bought a freezer to turn into a keezer. I have no need to ferment in it just yet, but I do own a Raspberry Pi and I also need a way to control the temperature of the freezer for the keg. Would I be able to use brewpi to do this? or would I better off buying a separate device to control the temp in the freezer? (I'm trying to save money and can't seem to find one below $50 or so)
Thank you and sorry if this is in the wrong place!
Sorry if this question was already asked but how many amps do you need for this? I have a 750mA Nokia phone charge.
The problem I'm running into is that even after getting all the software running I plug in the arduino it does not power. I can't figure out if it is because 750mA is not enough or it is something else I'm doing wrong. If I unplug the arduino from the relay board (all the wiring) and it's just the arduino it will show power. As soon as I plug everything back in the way it is shown on the drawing it will not power.
I'm also having problems with programming the arduino. I followed the instructions on the link provided but the only serial port I get is ttyAMA0. Which it says can not be the correct one because that is the internal serial port.
Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated! I want to have this up and running by Friday so I can test it out Friday night and Saturday to brew on Sunday.
