You're not helping :P

There'll be some interesting phones built with this ;)

Bought one yesterday for a brewpi build. It came in at 14.80 gbp with gpio header and postage from pihut

Oh thanks very much Peter.  >:D >:D

Now I want one but haven't a clue what to do with it!

I'm the same, I'm going 'what can I use it for?' - thinking of a smaller BrewPi, but don't really need another one, somebody in the club might be getting a useful pressie soon.

A very neat Kodi box?

Craftbeerpi, brewpi, strangebrew, retropie (should be able to handle snes and megadrive)

Got a Pi 3b last week. Currently serving as a Nintendo/Megadrive with an Xbox controller. That's brewing related, right?

Sent from my phone, please excuse the typos.

If I build a craftbeerpi, I'll then have an ArdBir, SmartPID and that, all for controlling the same thing. Will have to start selling control boxes soon :P

Where do I send the money?

 ;D ;D

How are you finding smartpid ?

I'll tell you when all the parts to build arrive from China! :)

Ordered one to from holland.(cheaper on postage) for automated android controller because of it small size.

Sent from my campfire using smoke signals

Just wondering, will any of this fit onto the Pi Zero W* (https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/02/nasa-released-a-ton-of-software-for-free-and-heres-some-you-should-try/)? ;)

So, if I put a drone into my mashtun, will it provide optimum mixing? :D


_{*morning nerdfest}

Hah it will certainly add oxygen but that's what you don't want to add :D

Mine arrived today, still not sure what to do with it yet.

Anyone recommend a temperature probe that'd work with the pi? Thinking of something that can record temp through fermentation, maybe even check in on it from work on my phone.

Sent from my phone, please excuse the typos.

Only one to consider is DS18B20, digital that most use.

Might need a 6-8mm ID thermowell

You could build a brewpi with a pi zero w setup for about 40 euro.

Brewpi will fit on a 4 gig sd card. Get a Transend class

5 pcs DS18b20 Waterproof Temperature Sensors Temperature Transducer https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CHEZ250/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RLOWyb67K76NN

That's my weekend gone anyway ;)

What cables do you use when going from gpio to a SSR?

I use female to male DuPont cables.  If you want to get fancy you can use a bread board as well.

https://www.ebay.ie/itm/272153083323

You will also need a 4.7k resistor

If you don't use DuPont you will have to solder to the gpio header
