If so please PM me. There is a potentially very interesting offer in the pipeline.
I was thinking of it, well more RaspberryPi. But I've just got no idea where to start so I keep running away from it.
Was looking into it/thinking about it, Raspberry Pi aswell.
Spent too much time looking at www.theelectricbrewery.com & www.brewpi.com, need to actually work on something (not as complex though).
I was about to go the PID route but a friend of hop Bomb and I reckons that Aruino ciuld be the way to go. Do tell more!

was thinking of getting one and seeing if i could come up with some use for it. was looking at some youtube videos and looking at the code part brought back some memories.
This has come up a couple of times on forum threads recently....there is a crowd in Belfast developing a smart brewing device and used Arduino for rapid prototyping...

I'm planning to use an arduino as a temp controller for a fridge. Want to use the fridge for largering. Code is written and all. I just have to verify it can keep consistent temperature in the fridge. Unfortunately the fridge I'm prototyping on is too small to fit a FV but it'll serve as a proof of concept and it could be converted into a kegerator.
I PM'd ya 3 days ago >:(
Yes. Brewpi cos I'm lazy.
Eh! Shane You got a PM from Me too ???

Why not just wire an stc1000 into the door?
something along the lines of:

LordEoin: Why not just wire an stc1000 into the door? STC's are good for cheap and stand alone but....
Ardrino will give the ability to cheaply(ish) Trend the entire Fermentation period, Step change the temperature setpoint up or down (largering, crash cooling etc), send you an alarm if the temperature is not maintained within predetermined values. Same for Mashing/Boiling!
aha, makes sense :)
Do I have to PM?
Include me in the interest list.

Me too... I need to learn this stuff!

Pretty much my reasoning. I brew in tipp and live in Leixlip so I need to just switch it on on sunday night knowing that it'll change temp on day x automatically. Haven't written the code to do any decent data logging yet.
What you making Tube?
Too much detail >:( :)
Looking forward to watching what the industrious nhc members come up with.
Still looks to have same problem of reading analog inputs as the arduino. Only reads 0-5vdc so would have to use spi temp sensors. I prefer to use standard temperature sensors for various reasons.

Did anything ever happen with these?
NHBC Electronic Project? It's in drafts, so all i can see is the title.
I've no option to preview.
I give up, I'll see it when it's eventually scheduled and published
Cheers, I see it now.
are more boards expected?
When I look at all posts only mine are underlined.
I cannot access any others!
No problem there. I was just more intested in the hierarchy of WP:
So an Author can write/edit his own stuff. Update calender etc but cannot see other peoples stuff even as read only.
Naturally an Admin can do what they like!
So back to the topic!
has anyone here actually built anything brewing related using raspberry pi or arduino? How did you get on?
Hi LordEoin,
I've volunteered to do a project with the Galileo board. I've written an article describing the project I plan to build. The article will be posted when the admins flip the switch, but should be fairly soon. The article just needs a review and an opening in the article schedule and it should be good to go.
As regards building the thing, I'm doing some investigation work at the moment on the capabilities of the board. I'm locating sources for the bits I need as well. Once the project gets the green light, I'll order them. Their arrival will probably coincide with the end of the cider season, which is keeping me occupied at the moment.
I expect to kick this project into a higher gear towards the end of the month. Article number two will probably appear in the first half of December and will likely include a design for the hardware and an overview of the software components. Further articles will be posted as major chunks of the functionality are completed and tested. I expect the final article will be a review of the project, a link to software download, and a note about the possibilities for further extension. That may post sometime in late Jan/early Feb.

PS. As all plans never survive contact with the enemy, all dates mentioned above are purely aspirational. :P
Yup, I've read the article. Good stuff.
I was just wondering if anyone has successfully completed any projects yet and what they've learned from it:)
Well I converted the original Brewmiser code to run on the Arduino (no problems) but using different displays, push buttons and temp sensors (a bit more time consuming!).
Very enjoyable but unlike in the good old days when I was paid a lot of wonga per hour for code now it still takes the same time metric - just no Wonga!
Another thing is that if you thought brewery shinny stainless was tempting (but cost real wonga) just wait till you order a touch screen with about 100 times the processing power of the Arduino!
Then there is USB/Wifi/Net connected/Mobile App/ peripherals just to control your F*K**g fridge!
Modern PLCs/Logic Controllers/touchy feely screens/Rasb PIs/Peripherals are seriously ADDICTIVE
Beware!
Does my fermenter REALLY need to be GPS aware ( only another €5 for a chip and a weeks (free) coding!

Of course it does, so it can get local weather and adjust accordingly!
