The info you provide is very terse.
“SF6” is probably http://www.sanfranroaster.com/sf-6lb <http://www.sanfranroaster.com/sf-6lb>
And “Watlow" I assume to mean http://www.watlow.com/products/controllers/temperature.cfm <http://www.watlow.com/products/controllers/temperature.cfm>
My hunch is you maybe just connected the cables without making sure that variables like baud speed, even/uneven, parity, stopbits are all set exactly the same on both ends.
SF should be providing that info / assistance in their manuals / service desk.

Hi Yara,
That’s very interesting, this workflow. You have quite a massive production going on.
I understand you save and name the log *after* the roast but I do not see how this cannot be done *before* starting the roast.
I understand that when you DROP the previous batch and get ready to CHARGE the next one, there are just a few seconds. But the same time that you would need to type in the beans in the way you tried earlier you could have typed the name in the log file name, right?
You could even automate this as a keyboard macro in your operating system. Just hitting the combination to start that keyboard sequence would do it. There are several utilities for such routines, although I can’t name them for Windows.
Also, as you are working, you know what beans you are using and there is not a chance you would forget it even if it is not in the screen during the roast?
I ask it to better understand your workflow.
Enjoy!
Frans

It would be great if this name appeared somewhere (I know it does but not for us when we use pre-programmed buttons). We also use the auto-save feature which is great.

Ah… that is not what I meant.
I will illustrate in four separate steps. First before starting the roast, give the log file a meaningful name, any text you like. Here I named it after you.
Then start the roast and see whatever you wanted written at the top.
So 1 use “Save As” to name the LOG file:
2 like this:
3 you see the name at the very top:
4 then press START and you still see whatever you want there at the top:

My guess is you did not read my mail correctly. What do you mean by “give the name to the roast”, in what field exactly did you do that? I sent an illustration / screen snapshot, can you do the same?

Hi everyone,
not sure if I am missing something but once we are in the logging mode (after pressing "start" button) the name of the roast profile / batch dissappears. This is probably caused by the buttons moving the grid upwards.
I think it is quite important to be able to immediately see which coffee we are currently roasting.
Any solution to this?
Thanks!

Very clever! I bought mine and the first did not work but the second was very good.

I have that only when it is all switched on but inactive. As soon as the system is active, the numbers are correct. So it’s no issue really.

I don’t have that issue in my setup. Once I have it set, it works. Here I get that menu in Config -> Serial -> Modbus so we might have different versions.

I am using Artisan 0.9.9.x with a Fuji PID that does not have the optional
RS485 interface. Model PXG4PYY1-0VY00 (voltage control output 1-5V to an
Autonics heater controller).
Fuji provide a serial (RS232) communications port, possibly on the PXG
models. This is presented as a 2.5mm stereo TRS jack and offer an optional
connecting lead.
I made my own RS232 lead- 2.5mm sub-mini stereo plug to 9 pin RS232 female;
tip=>pin2, ring=>pin3, sleeve=>pin 5. Works perfectly with Fuji parameter
loader software.
Artisan is connecting and controlling the PID, ramp soak is working well
too.
The first minor issue I have found is that at 0% output Artisan shows PID %
as 100% (otherwise working correctly)
Secondly, the serial port settings (Device Assignment/Serial Ports Config
ET/BT tab) always reverts to 'odd' parity, when the required parity setting
for this connection is 'none' (unlike RS485, there is no option in the PID
to change RS232 serial port settings).

Do you mean a dual probe?
At the time, I bought mine at http://www.tcdirect.nl which is part of http://tcdirect.comhttp://kostverlorenvaart.blogspot.nl/2014/01/duplex-k-type-thermocouple-for…
They should be able to provide you with one as well. Tell them it must be sensitive and not ‘grounded’ so the tip of the probe should not touch the outside of the probe.
In case you mean the Amprobe TMD-56 which has the probes on one end and the USB for your macbook on the other end, there are plenty of places to order it.
Best

Hi everyone,
I am currently looking for an affordable (<$70) k-type dual thermocouple
thermometer that can be used with Artisan on a Macbook Pro (OS X 10.10.2).
I need to make sure the data will be read on a Mac.
Thank you so much for your time,
Victor
