Re: [Artisan-user] Questions [Could I use PT-100 instead of K-thermocouple]
by zb
Hi Tiga Leung .
Sorry. Only Fuji PIDs are compatible with artisan at this moment.
There are many PIDs and they all work different. The only ones that work with artisan are the Fuji PIDs model PXR and model PXG. Plus, they also need to be equipped with the modbus protocol option in order to be able to communicate with a PC.
If the Fuji PID is compatible with an RTD, then it will work with artisan.
The Arduino TC4 is cheaper and the hardware and software is open source. Requires some knowledge. It is being develop at this moment and it is already capable of controlling the roaster from artisan.
Cheers

Dear all,
I am a new user to use the software. I tried my PID with the software. I cannot use the software properly. It could not communicate with the PID. Could I use PT-100 to measurse temperature? Did any one try PT-100 before?
Regards and thanks,

Alarm sound and customizable cupping form
by Rubens Gardelli
It would be nice to have an event alarm with sound.
Moreover, I'd like to save my cup profile settings inside the default
scrolling window so I can recall it for any new roast. I use the IIAC
(Istituto Internazionale Assaggiatori Caffè) cup profile form that is a
specific form for espresso.
Thanks.

Artisan 0.5.0 Released
by Sebastien Delgrande
Dear all,
First of all we would like to thank you all for your feed-back during the
beta testing of this new release. Several bug fixes and improvements made it
just in time.
Although some of the new features of release 0.5.0 have already been
introduced in the beta versions, here is quick summary of what you can
expect with this release:
- Unlimited number of devices/curves running at the same time
- Virtual devices
- Profile designer
- Wheel graph editor
- Mathematical plotter
- Localizations (translations for German, French, Spanish, Swedish,
Italian)
- Enhanced multi-core CPU performance
- Template/background reproduction playback aid
- Alarms with programmable outputs
- Custom event buttons
- Fully configurable cupping graphs
- Enhanced delta plotting
- Mac OS X 10.4 support
- Omega HHM28 support
- Enhanced Arduino TC4 support
As you start using Artisan 0.5.0, you will notice that ET and BT have been
switched around compared to 0.4.1. This was necessary in order to support an
unlimited number of devices. We apologize for the inconvenience.
You can find the binaries for Windows and Mac at the usual place (Linux
version is to be published):
http://code.google.com/p/artisan/downloads/list
Please report using our issue tracker at
http://code.google.com/p/artisan/issues/list
and this mailing list.
Thank you for your continuous support. We look forward to your feed-back and
input.
Regards,
The Artisan team

My b2 testing
by Martin Kral
Hi!
I tried to test the b2 but twice during the same roast it generated an exception and closed down, so i had to give up and revert to b1, wich worked fine. :-(
I don't use any fancy functions at all, not even the HUD. Just started up artisan, saved a file, added some roast properties and pressed the on button. Both times it worked well for 3-4 minutes and the suddenly generated a windows error. Before shuting down it worked well, noticably faster than b1.
I use a HP mini with only 1Gb RAM and running XP 32-bit.
I would also like to suggest that the Axis max value is the one used whenever doing a reset. Reset currently sets the x axis to 1 if the keep max time after reset is not checked.

observations b2
by Fred B
It appears that the BT delta plot still has the 50 deg offset. It refreshes
the display when I select event or extra menu but immediately jumps right
back with the next data point reading.
Oh and I also generated an exception error for the first time and crashed
Artisan so could not save or finish the roast profile.

Re: [Artisan-user] Artisan-User Digest, Vol 5, Issue 9
by Paul Wynne
Hi zb,
I have scanned and selected the correct COM port in Artisan. If I select the same COM port with the Omega software it works, select the same port with Artisan I get errors. I'm not trying to run Artisan and Omega at the same time. I worked on this all weekend and have tried everything I can think of.
Is it possible that something has changed with the Omega? Is there some way I can view the communications between the Omega software and the COM port and the communications between Artisan and the COM port so that I can compare?
Regards
Paul

Omega HH806AU problem
by Paul Wynne
Hi All,
I have just purchased a Quest M3 and Omega HH806AU datalogger and am having problems getting Artisan to connect to the Omega. No matter what I try I get the "HH806AUtemperature(): 0 bytes received but 14 needed" error and BT & ET display "-1". I have tried everything I can think of and Artisan will not connect. The PC software supplied by Omega finds the COM port, connects and works perfectly.
My laptop is running Windows 7 x64 SP1. I have tried using the USB drivers supplied with the Omega and I have tried downloading the latest drivers from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm. I have tried COM ports 11, 7 & 2. I have tried another laptop running Windows 7 x32. I have tried another USB cable. I have tried Artisan 4.1, 5.0b1 and 5.0b2. I have tried removing USB drivers, Omega software and doing a system restore and reinstalling just the USB drivers.
I believe I have tried everything except swapping the Omega, the Omega works perfectly with the Omega software so I don't think that is the issue.
Please help, any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards
Paul

Re: [Artisan-user] Artisan serial data format
by PIDKits
aArtisan release 1.05 is now available in zip file here:
http://tc4-shield.googlecode.com/files/aArtisan-REL-105.zip
View description, etc. here:
http://code.google.com/p/tc4-shield/downloads/detail?name=aArtisan-REL-10...
This release should fully support the upcoming 0.5.x release of Artisan.
Thanks to Sebastien and the Artisan team for their persistence in
working out the little bumps in getting Artisan and aArtisan to
communicate smoothly.
