Modbus Error: Read float() hex() argument can't be converted to hex@line 30521

by Randy＠BuckeyeCoffee.com

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 adding the list back in.

Re: Configuring Artisan for a Mill City 1kg roaster

by Marko Luther

Dear Dan, > On 29. Oct 2020, at 20:25, Dan Strickland <dans(a)mtaonline.net> wrote: > > Hey Marko... thanks for your reply. Just to clarify, we used Artisan to help develop our preferred roast profiles, and definitely benefited from that service. Once we dialed things in, I quit using Artisan and went solely by temperature readings and sound of the cracks. My wife, however, continues to use Artisan to keep us on track with any changes in our roasting profiles. I'll donate $100 today. We are a small mom and pop shop and make about $300/month without paying ourselves a salary, so perhaps you might consider this a mitigating condition, perhaps not. All things said one should pay for a service, so I'll make that donation. If we expand I'll continue that. Thanks for your support! > > I'll attach our settings for you to take a look. any help would be appreciated. I did get a response from a third party, but it seems to involve changing out the thermocouples and using RTDS, which becomes more involved and I'm hoping it's simply a setting issue. I will make sure we've update our Phidget software version to see if that helps. Thanks. I just loaded your settings and this is very confusing. Obviously this setting is configured for the Hottop 2k+. Did you send the correct settings? If not, I recommend to do a factory reset (menu Help >> Factory Reset) and reconfigure for your machine. Thus I do not know the setup of your machine (or any other Mill City Roaster for the lack of support by this company) I cannot help on this part. Maybe it is best to ask your vendor for support here. To just configure for a Phidget 1048 2xTC setup for reading ET/BT as Cropster is using it you can choose the "Config >> Machine >> Phidget "USB 1048 Databridge" entry, but the Mill City setup might be different and even using a different Phidget module.

Automation / Follow Background

by Dustin Betterly

I don’t have a PID, but I have my gas valve connected to artisan. Once a profile has been made with specific gas adjustments, is it possible to have artisan follow that and adjust automatically? Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Configuring Artisan for a Mill City 1kg roaster

by dwadestrickland＠gmail.com

We used artisan successfully for the last three years, then either our phidget or the connecting cord went out, so we replaced them both. I upgraded our artisan software as well as the latest phidget software, yet all we can get is a straight vertical line moving across our screen. I've checked with Mill City and they said all you have to do is configure the device and pick Phidget, but that hasn't solved our problem. We've played with all the settings but cannot get anything more. Any suggestions? Thanks. Dan Gale Force Coffee Roasters

Phidget Proportion Valve

by Dustin Betterly

I have a proportion valve with a 0-5v driver on my roaster, has anyone used a similar setup with artisan? Just curious what you’d recommend? I was looking at the OUT1002_0 16bit Output Phidget. I also have a Dwyer DH3 differential pressure gauge that I have for logging the gas pressure. I presume there is a way to utilize the input pressure readings and the gas output through artisan?

2.4.2 Not connecting to MacBook Pro with OS Catalina

by ed4pbay＠gmail.com

Anyone with a similar setup able to communicate between machine and Mac? I went back to Vers. 2.12 and everything works fine. Checked my settings and they transferred over and stayed the same in 2.4.2. Super user was on, sliders and button changes had no effect in fact the lcd on the Hottop never lit up.
