So I was trying a number of things and ended up re-installing from scratch using NOOBS. When I posted earlier this afternoon I had installed from 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy. This time around with Jessie everything went well but cant access remotely via putty for some reason as I get an error message.
I was following the instructions to a tee from page 1 as I have no idea otherwise
Hi Guys,
Many thanks for your quick responses. To be fair I really have no idea with linux but being an engineer by profession I am certainly not one to shy away from a problem...
So I was trying a number of things and ended up re-installing from scratch using NOOBS. When I posted earlier this afternoon I had installed from 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy. This time around with Jessie everything went well but cant access remotely via putty for some reason as I get an error message. Install of brewpi on RPI was ok and then I tried connecting in the Arduino and now can no-longer access internet. a reboot with just the RPI connected and I have internet. so now I fell like I have taken a step backwards in my install.. nuts!
Oh and as far as reading from page 1.... wow.... now that is an effort!!!! I just figured I wouldnt be the only numpty here bashing their way through this!
Oh and yes I was running safari but then also checked it using edge and same issue. I never got to the point of confiuring anything in the GUI as it wouldnt run the scrip to begin with so I didnt go any further. Happy to provide log file - if I knew how. sorry :-(

I have attached a pic of the Arduino & RPI units if that helps. I figure is a 99% chance its an issue due to me, 0.75% Arduino and the remainder RPI
I turned off the light this morning. I still get an occasional error in the log about a disconnected temp sensor but they are less frequent. The graph now shows consistent readings even when zoomed in. I'm considering disconnecting the power from the ballast to see if it will help with the log errors.
Thanks again for your help. Things have progressed and I am now trying to upload HEX file but none of the links in the go-bys seem to work? anyidea where I can download from?
Thanks in advance.

When I try to go to http://dl.brewpi.com/brewpi-avr/stable. it says the page does not exist yet??
Try ttyUSB0
btw, is that a "real" Ardunio Uno R3 with a Atmel Mega16U2 acting as a USB/serial bridge...or is this a Chinese CH34X?
If the latter I believe there's a file edit required to get the host to recognize the CH34X...
Cheers!
Hi day_trippr
thanks for all your help.
Not sure of its origins 100% but has the markings Atmel mega 328P AU 1545
when I try ttyUSB0 (zero not 'o') i get /dev/ttyUSB0
when I use capital 'o' : no such file or directory
I am also having issues with dropping internet connection. sometimes when I reboot i try ping google with no luck but after a number or reboots it works or the alternative is i boot without arduino connected and it pings right away. connect arduino and ping works. hmmmm. plenty of trouble shooting for me here...
Don't you love it when they post a picture, but like, intentionally miss the part you need to help them diagnose the issue? but given the size and placement of that tiny black sliver of a chip up in right hand side is any indication, it's got a ch340 chip on it… also confirmed as he has a dev entry for USB0.

Hahaha! You're gonna fit in this asylum just fine
So Bigdaddyale got it - it's not Raspbian that needs the nudge, it's BrewPi.
Follow the link he posted, but the short of it is, execute this command:
o ls /dev/ttyU* (we already know this particular clone sits at /dev/ttyUSB0)
o record the vid and pid values,
o edit /home/brewpi/autoSerial.py
o add an entry similar to the others with the actual vid and pid values prefixed with 0x, as the example below:
{'vid': 0x1a86, 'pid': 0x7523, 'name': "Uno-Clone"}
o save the file, start up BrewPi and see what happens...
Cheers!
Ah, ok, that was noted immediately following the linked entry, to wit:
- if you have installed the Arduino IDE on something you can plug the Uno clone into, launch the Arduino IDE, point it to the port your Uno is plugged into, and then use Tools -> Get board info.
Cheers!
Well, things were running fairly consistently for a few days but now it's back to being erratic and unstable. I ordered new sensors but may try powering the current sensors with an external 5v supply rather than using the Arduino as a power source.
After, this I have pretty much changed everything except the RPi.
Which link helped you the most? I will bookmark it and have it handy for the next guy that has this problem.Thank you to all who have helped me. Finally got Brewpi up and running. Waiting on my sensors to arrive so that will be the next hurdle but in the mean time I think I will work on a housing and finish off the extension to the bar fridge to fit in my fermenter. Seriously cant wait to be brewing at correct temps... gets up over 40 deg inside my garage during summer warm days.
Oh I tried to get BrewPi working with AM2302 sensor in the mean time but no deal... Will wait till I have the correct ones and then let the trouble shooting start again.
Thanks again all for your assistance and patience with a noob

My relays will not turn on... Please Help
I just got my brewpi up and running and after hours searching and checking wires I can say (with confidence) everything is wired properly. I don't have any lights on the sainsmart relay board no popping of relays...nothing. Any ideas?
I will test it tomorrow with a multimeter. And switch those configurations. Thanks for taking a look at it.Why do you have 2 Cooling Devices and 2 Heating Devices? I would start by removing the ones on pins 4 and A4. It appears you have them wired to the NO (Normally Open) contacts, so that is correct. Other than that, I'm not seeing any glaring issues. Someone with a keener than I will (hopefully) come along, but I'll keep looking.
Do you have a way to check your wiring (Multimeter)?
Also that green wore looks to be hanging on by a thread under that screw terminal
