    Controlling Robobrew with Craftbeerpi

    I haven't set it up yet to control the pump. I used brewzilla's existing PCB for the control with Raspberry pi. I am going to add the pump control at a later date. I can't see me ever wanting to use the brewzilla controller so eventually I will control each element separately and not even use...

    Controlling Robobrew with Craftbeerpi

    I have completed my modification to my Brewzilla 65L. I am controlling it with Craftbeer Pi 4.0. It will maintain a mash temp with +-.5 F Very happy with the interface and that I can connect to it with my phone or tablet.

    Controlling Robobrew with Craftbeerpi

    The 8 wires can be used with the Raspberry pi with a relay board to isolate the two different voltage sources. Ill be wiring mine up on Thursday. I successfully turned the elements on and off with out the robobtew controller using the existing Power Control Board.

    Controlling Robobrew with Craftbeerpi

    I believe you could just solder the 8 pin ribbon cable to a flush mount 8 pin female connector. Then solder the other end of the ribbon cable that goes to the robobrew display to a flush mount 8 pin mail connector. Make a jumper wire that plugs both together on the out side of the the...

    Modding the FERMENTASAURUS

    What is the part number or name of the fittings you used to screw into the fermentasaurus? the components that adapt the plastic bottom of the fermentasaurus to the 90 hose barb? Does regular 3/4" hose fittings fit? Thanks,

    Tilt Hydrometer - Who Uses Them?

    I use a Tilt! It worked awesome for me. I found that using TiltPi on a raspberrypi worked the best. I also found that it's best to start logging after your done moving the fermented around....once it settles or sits for an hour or so then name your beer and start logging to google cloud. My...

    Controlling Robobrew with Craftbeerpi

    The robobrew power board already sends 5V on the 8 wire ribbon cable to power up the controller and screen. Then the screen"Controller" sends 5V back to the two relay's on two separate pins "wires" to turn the one larger element on and then the other two elements on....something in that order...

    Controlling Robobrew with Craftbeerpi

    Hi guys, I haven't done this yet.....got tied up with work and such. I do have a plan.....I'm going to buy the Robobrew upgrade kit. I will cut the 8 wire cable that comes from the screen to the board. Then have each end of the 8 wire ribbon cable go to two different IP6 rated 8 pin pannel...

    CraftBeerPi Reliability

    I currently use Craftbeerpi and think it's great. I added a Tilthydrometer for internal fermentation temp. I also added a flow sensor for measuring my water transfers. I'm currently going to make it so I can flick a switch between using robobrew controller and craftbeerpi. There are quite a...

    Controlling Robobrew with Craftbeerpi

    Hi, I'm going to modify my Robobrew 65L so I can control it with Craftbeerpi. I had a few questions for any body to help. I was looking at this picture. I noticed they labelled the two pins 1900W for the element. I would think that one pin is for 1900W and the other pin is for the 500W...
