You are correct, that's how I showed it. I don't think however that it poses the risk to the relay you are suggesting. The current will not be switched, and therefore not (potentially) arc which is what damages the relays. Yes, one could make the change you suggest. I guess it's a belt and suspenders thing.If I’m following this right, I don‘t think the SSR pin 1 should connect to the NC contact on the relay. This will still draw all the startup current through that contact and there is no need to do so unless you are trying to guarantee heating and cooling are not on at the same time. The software does a fine job of that... Instead, run pin 1 of the SSR straight to hot.
You should have a look at BrewPiLess pressure sensorsI'm doing some experimentation with using fermenter-produced CO2 to purge kegs and because the tubing I'm using (EVAbarrier 5mm ID) is so skinny there's the existential thread of krausen plugging it up and causing perhaps exciting results. There are two carboys chugging away, and I do have a solution that will mitigate krausen issues if needed - wide bore blowoffs leading to a 1/2 gallon PET bottle that has a outlet port for the thin tubing, but I'd prefer not to use it yet.
So, I have an esp32-cam trained on the exhaust bottle at the very end of the line, and I just stuck another one in the ferm chamber. Which, of course, gets very dark when the door is closed, so what to do?
BrewPi is the answer!
I disconnected my chamber heater ('cuz I sure as heck won't need it for awhile), plugged in a small lamp that I could perch on a door shelf - next to the esp cam - then changed the BrewPi setting for GPIO6 from Chamber Heater to Chamber Light. Et voila! By toggling the Pin type setting between Inverted/Non-inverted I can turn the light on and off remotely!

Now I can periodically turn on the light and check the carboys. If that krausen gets close to the neck it'll be time to implement Plan B.
btw, no issues having the esp32 inside the fridge, even though its access point is a room away...
Cheers! (BrewPi! Is there anything it can't do? )
You mean you'd prefer it shown up in the title bar vs in the chart? Not in the current code, no. I can look at maybe adding that the next time I get in there.is there a way to show the Tilt Gravity reading in addition to, or in lieu of, the Tilt Temp on the status board?

I just pushed this to a development branch. You can check it out (if you are comfortable doing this) by issuing the following commands:is there a way to show the Tilt Gravity reading in addition to, or in lieu of, the Tilt Temp on the status board?
cd /home/brewpi
sudo git fetch origin
sudo git checkout -b tilt_sg origin/tilt_sg
sudo /home/brewpi/utils/doPerms.sh
sudo systemctl restart brewpi
Received an error on the third command.I just pushed this to a development branch. You can check it out (if you are comfortable doing this) by issuing the following commands:
(assuming nothing here breaks ... continue)Code:cd /home/brewpi sudo git fetch origin sudo git checkout -b tilt_sg origin/tilt_sg
Let me know if you are able to test. Otherwise, "It Works Here™".Code:sudo /home/brewpi/utils/doPerms.sh sudo systemctl restart brewpi

Technically you can, but I think John and I both defaulted towards the "it's just easier to tell people no." Fermentrack uses nginx and BrewPi Remix uses Apache. Both of the default to using port 80 which is what you get when you use your web browser by default. One or the other would need to be changed manually to use a different port. Then there are the potential serial port conflicts. I am not sure how Fermentrack makes assumptions about serial port availability.If I'm running Fermentrack currently, can I install BrewPi on the same RPi and play around with one or the other with different ferments? Or would I need to erase everything and start fresh?
Okay, I enabled this functionality in the installer. New post/release announcement coming momentarily.If I'm running Fermentrack currently, can I install BrewPi on the same RPi and play around with one or the other with different ferments? Or would I need to erase everything and start fresh?

I thought the YÚN was discontinued?Late to the thread and ready to ask silly questions...setting up my electric brewery with an Arduino Yun and wondering if I can use BrewPi Remix with just the Arduino (which has onboard wifi, Linux, and web server) or do I also need the RaspberryPi?
I downloaded it and loaded it up. Not impressed. First of all, it defaults to a root login. It's 2020, root is not for logging in. It also did not support the wpa_supplicant settings, so there was no headless operation available after the first boot. Finally, I tried three times to get the damned wireless running and it will not for whatever reason. I don't care why. I should not have to work this hard at it.Is this something that might be of interest?
Lightweight justice for your SBC!
Well, I gave it a try, and with all my noob enthusiasm ended up with this error:Very cool! I'll give it a try when I get a chance.
We can fix ya up.Well, I gave it a try, and with all my noob enthusiasm ended up with this error:
Thanks Lee! I should be able to PM that to you tonight.We can fix ya up.
What was the state of the system before you started? Was it running a version of BrewPi? If so, which one? Was it running Fermentrack?
If you were trying the BrewPi over Fermentrack, then the "install" was the right path. If that was the direction you took, I'd like to see the whole install log. I'll drop you a PM with my address.
Well, I'm the guy that maintains it so I'm sort of biased - but I think yes, it's pretty clean. Especially on a new SD card.
One major change you will see is that multiple chambers are supported. Be on the lookout for that and you can set it up as such during the install.
Here to help and give back a little - I've received a lot from the community.
