Fixed 
Device on windows:
USB VID:PID=2B04:C006
Device on Linux:
USB VID:PID=2b04:c006
The obvious fix is to convert to lowercase before the regex.
Next time there is an update to the brewpi-tools repo (via updater.py) will I end up with the latest config.cfg file as a result, or will I need to revert my recent change manually?
That file is out of source control, because it is user config.
defaults.cfg are the fallback settings, and auto is the new default.
If you just remove the port settings from config.cfg, it will fall back to auto detect.
Hi Elco,
Just wondering if the interim PWM update is likely to happen before you go?
Cheers.
Yes, I will release what I have so far before I go.
It’s out
Preliminary PWM actuators release
I found time to add PI controllers for the fridge actuators and to modify the beer PID anti-windup to work better in combination with this.
Hi,
I am currently using my own temperature controller, but the BrewPi project looks very interesting. Due to the fact that I need only limited functionality I decided to buy Photon core and display, wired it together and tried to upload the firmware to the core. Upload of FW passed OK, but when board is restarted the Photon led lights white and USB open is not open for connection. The display is fully white, no picture at all. When I try to reset to the factory state, Photon works as expected.
I checked the wiring and it is OK. So question is if this could be caused by missing DS2482 chip which I have not added to board yet. What do you think? Or is there any way how to check the display communication? Digital probe indicates that pins used for display interface are not set to ouptu probably as there is Z state (high impedance). It seems to me that code is stucked somewhere in the init phase.
Thanks in advance.
I just tried to add the DS2482 to the board and the firmware is started OK. 
Has anyone started using the new firmware? I’m going to do the update tonight & have a play with heating water in BIAB pot to see what happens.
Any update @SwiftPint ? how did you go?
IF you have time to post your experience that would be awesome.
Unfortunately I’m not able to open the serial port after adding those port settings to config.cfg. Just hanging at “Opening serial port” Any suggestions?

I am getting the following error when running updater.py,and it’s been this way for a few days. I get through the earlier parts of the script OK, just not the firmware part:

Did you run it with sudo?
Are you sure the pi had a working connection to GitHub?
I did run it with sudo, below is the full output of the command. The script is able to connect to GitHub when updating the local /home/brewpi and /var/www branches, and when checking my local firmware version against the latest release, so it’s not clear why it fails on downloading firmware from GH:

I have the Brewpi Photon working and logging temps using the SSR expansion board, next Ia m going to hook up my SSR’s and then my fermentation chamber. One question I have is if the Touchscreen is supposed to control anything? So far I touch it and it doesn’t do anything. Are there any controls that I can change with the touchscreen? Thanks for any help.
I think I had the same issue, line 115 of /home/brewpi/utils/updateFirmware.py reads elif family == “Spark”:
but believe it should read elif family == “Particle”:
I changed mine local and it fixed the issue.
Let me know how you get on.
Even if I am running a Spark Core and not a Particle board?
Yep, i updated my core before upgrading the core to a Photon, I think Elco has changed the github fork for the new name for Spark.
If it doesn’t fix the issue then you could always copy down the original again. I have just tried setting mine back and get the same error. one I change Spark to Particle is works.

I updated my Spark Core to 0.2.11, and the update completed. On the first reboot after flashing the firmware I got the stuck on the stylus calibration screen, but on subsequent reboots I get the 4 flashes and then the standard BrewPi UI.
I had to query and re-install my devices and default settings, no big deal. But here’s the troubling thing: I no longer have cooling activity. When the freezer should kick on at the beginning of a cooling cycle it does nothing and I don’t hear the SSR click. But I do get the expected result for heating cycles! I recreated the device settings as they previously were (based on screenshots from a known working environment) so I am pretty sure they are correct.
My updater,py output is at bottom, and above that is what I see upon rebooting the Pi/BrewPi. Notice it says “running on a Particle Core” (which is not true)
