Anyone here building, or intending to build, brewing stuff using Arduino?

Do I have to PM?
Include me in the interest list.

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

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!     

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.

[LordEoin]

I've no option to preview.

I give up, I'll see it when it's eventually scheduled and published

[LordEoin]

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!

[LordEoin]

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.

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:)
