Dear Artisan user group;
I have received an error I have not seen before using a Mac with the latest solfware : Sierra with a 64 bit system.
We have installed the CP210 driver with our data logger using Omron controls.
Here is a screen shot:
Modbus Error: Read float() hex() argument can't be converted to hex@line 30521
Could it be we have the wrong driver installed?
We use to use the FT232 driver but data driver was upgraded to a new model that has worked with the CP210 driver on most models (this data logger is setup for future use with Bluetooth capabilities)
Thank You;
Randy Harper
I'm relatively new to artisan. Been using RoastLogger for years but now that
I have my phidget 1048 I don't need the camera/ocr feature anymore.
I haven't been able to locate the help file or information about the
settings under Config-Device - Phidgets tab. For instance, Async check
boxes, raw data, change etc. I've found everything on the github page, but
maybe I just haven't been successful in pinpointing the proper area to look.
Secondly- I'm roasting on a Diedrich IR-24, which has a thicker J
thermocouple than the one I've hooked up to artisan, which is a K type 1/8in
I purchased here:
https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Sensors_-z-_Encoders/T
emperature_Sensors_-a-_Transmitters/Thermocouple_Sensors/Probes_(with_Lead_W
ire_Transition)/THMK-T06L06-01
The temperatures are around 30 degrees F higher on the thinner K
thermocouple than what the roaster is reporting, even though my
thermocouples in the roaster are mounted next to each other (didn't want to
piggyback on BT of the roaster to phidgets)
Does anyone have any experience in this area? Perhaps the simple fact that
the probe is thinner means the readings will be different, but I do not
know. It would appear that the readings on the roaster are accurate while
the other is much hotter.
Just getting started, and appreciate any guidance.
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 Matthias,
Have you shared your setup and details of the configuration somewhere? If so, it would be easier to comment for others, I think.
I recently added a button below the roast graph (Config -> Events -> Buttons) that shuts down the heater and after that, I added a line in Alarms which makes sure that button is activated as soon as I have clicked DROP.
Maybe that enables you to do the same.

(The background profile includes a DROP event at the end. It was created using the designer tool in Artisan, if that makes a difference.)

Hi all,
Is there a way to configure what Artisan does in PID follow background mode with a TC4 (PID firmware), once the end of the background profile is reached? I’ve tried ticking “replay events” under roast -> background, and then a custom serial command for DROP in config -> events, but that doesn’t seem to do anything. (The background profile includes a DROP event at the end. It was created using the designer tool in Artisan, if that makes a difference.)
I’m using a modified popcorn machine with a TC4, and I’d like to turn off the heater automatically at the end of the roast (ideally keeping the fan on).
Many thanks for your help!
Best,
Matthias
For the Extech 755 you have to consult Rob (again in CC) who provided support for this device and reported below in this thread that he is using it for gas pressure monitoring.

Which one?
> Could you send me a photo of the connection on your gas line(since the device performs the reading I suspect the connection on the gas line is just a simple stub/nipple to attach the hose on...right?) and a screen shot of a roast file ( I would like to see the interaction of temp and the gas pressure changes). Is this all hooked up on your Probat? If this is too much to ask I totally understand.
I am not logging the gas pressure. For that you would need a pressure sensor for gas. I have that Phidget 1136 air pressure sensor installed to monitor airflow in the exhaust.

Dear Dustin,
as Rob said, you can place a Phidgets 1136 air pressure sensor with some pitot tube in your exhaust as I did. You need additionally some Phidget IO to read that 1136 or one of the new VINT hubs that are supported by the upcoming Artisan v1.2.
I still have to document my exact setup on the Artisan blog... but some years ago I posted some pics of the setup on my FB account (have to find them again).

Digital manometer, usb connected? Artisan recently gained the ability to
use the Extech 755, which I use to log gas pressure. I think it may have
enough resolution to measure fan output, which is probably down in the
1inH2O range. There is also a phidget that measures pressure that some have
used.
