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

Victor 86B multi meter as device, how to set up?

by Henrik Bo Carlsen

Hi, On the device page https://artisan-scope.org/devices/meters/ I read that the optically isolated Victor 86B is compatible with Scope, while others say Scope do not work with USB HID devices, such as the Victor DMM.... My Victor 86B shows up in the device manager under USB HID devices in win 7. In Artisan 2.0.0 Scope config devices is set to Meter/Victor 86B after which a port config window appears to select a com port. I have installed the CP210X driver, and would expect a virtual comport to show up, when the Victor 86B is connected, but that does not seem to happen. Any suggestions to cure the problem, please let me know. Alternatively, for two K-type sensors, which optically isolated solution is the choice for Artisan Scope 2.0.0, please. Thanks in advance, Henrik

Batch number?

Recently the batch numbers reset to 0 and started counting up again. I try to change it back, but it won't stick. How can I set the Batch counter back to the correct number? Config...Batch... is not working. Dennis

Artisan 2.1.3 Unable to claim interface - Aillio Bullet

by Stuart McKnight

Upgraded to 2.1.3/2.4RC3 and although the legacy USB drivers are installed and the Aillio is connecting to the legacy Roast Time software (not V2) getting “Unable to claim interface” error. Does Artisan use a virtual COM port to connect ? The libusb properties do not show any COM port setting. Thought maybe it was a edge case issue with 2.4RC but reverting back to 2.1.2 gives the same problem or a message about a pipe. Tried uninstalling driver(s), having the Aillio as the only USB attached device, restarted Windows 10 several times. Still same problem, Aillio software can see the machine but Artisan appears blind. I don’t think the message is a benign error as the LCDs and Buttons do not show correct values or control machine. Please don’t make me go back to the proprietary software ;-)

Anyone with a FZ-94 and experience on comms?

by Brett Pound

I have a colleague who has an FZ-94 and has never had reliable communications from it to a PC (or a mac) since they bought it (2nd hand, I understand). I don’t have much detail right now, but has anyone seen or had any issues like this with an FZ-94? Any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting ? I’ll be assisting remotely so any tips at all would be appreciated ! Cheers Brett Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

Controling the heater of a Quest M3

by mario.eduardo＠vetmeduni.ac.at

i want to control the heater of my Quest M3. I have an idea (using a proportinal control SSR and an OUT1001). But such an SSR costs about €100. Is there a way to do this in a simpler way? Any experience ?? Mario

Re: control phidget out 1001 12 bit

Ok. Which port is the TMP1101 connected too? > i defined hub IO 0 as extra device see attached pic ,but there is no option to put hub IO 05 i can connect to another port if necessary . WHY? Your OUT1001 and your REL1100 are output devices. You don't want to read data from then, right? So why configure an extra device for them. You "HUB IO 0" extra device is attaching to port 0 of the HUB0000 and blocking it for any other use. Thus Artisan cannot send commands to the connected OUT1001 port 0 to drive your valve. According to its specification, the OUT1101 can send out a voltage from 0-4.2V. Phidget wrote an excellent documentation on this module (as they do for all modules). https://www.phidgets.com/?tier=3&catid=2&pcid=1&prodid=711 The VOUT Command "out(<port>,<value>)" outputs the given <value> in Volt on the given <port>. The OUT1101 has only one port, thus <port> needs to be 0. The <value> needs to range from 0-4.2V. You are putting a 10 in here. WHY? Note that you do not put a serial number if you only have one OUT1101 connected to your system. Thus your VOUT Command should read out(0,{}) The placeholder {} will be replaced by your slider value. Now you have to limit that slider value to the range of this module, 0-4.3. I suggest to keep the slider min/max limits to 0 and 100, but use a factor of 4.3/100 = 0.043, thus moving the slider to 100 will bind the placeholder {} to 100*0.043, which is the maximum voltage supported by the OUT1101, which is 4.3V. For the REL1100 you use the PWM Command "out(0,{})" to drive the first port via a PWM of 0-100 using the sliders default offset of 0 and factor of 1 and range of 0-100. > > and put commands like you recommend on events see attached pic > while each phidget is working properly in the phidget control panel > they are not working from the slider air or burner. > i switch off phidget control panel as i understand it cannot work together with artisan > first Yes. In a networking configuration Artisan can work in parallel with the Phidgets Control Panel app, but this extra complication is usually not needed. Thus it is better to use the standard direct communication and live with this limitation of the Phidgets driver. > i tried with 2.1.2 version and the proportional valve did not react at all i installed version 2.1.3 and > the valve opened to max 10 volt and stayed there the slider did not change anything and fan on both versions is not active at all > can you advice ? Download and install the just released Artisan v2.4.0 RC. It reports itself as v2.1.3, but will soon be released as v2.4. > another question: is every time i open artisan i should configure the machine again? No, of course not.

v2.4 Release Candidate

by Marko Luther

Dear all, we have been busy the past month putting together a new version of Artisan. As we changed many things we would like to ask the more experienced Artisan users to give our Release Candidate a test and report issues and suggestions for further refinements before we release this version to the general public. https://github.com/artisan-roaster-scope/artisan/releases/tag/v2.4.0-RC There are versions for Linux (Redhat/Debian), Windows, macOS, Raspian Stretch (RPi) and now also for the current Raspian Buster (RPi). You can install this as any other version. It is compatible with previous and future release and as always, your Artisan settings are preserved on installation. If things do not work out they should you can simply install the last release v2.1.2 again. Still it is advisable to save your Artisan settings with your current installation (menu Help >> Save Settings) into an artisan-settings.aset file to be able to reload that if things go wrong or you played with settings. The download link above links to the already available documentation of some new features. A later post will provide proper release notes as always. The full list of changes w.r.t. the previous versions is documented in the Detailed Release History: https://github.com/artisan-roaster-scope/artisan/blob/master/wiki/ReleaseHi… Thanks for your support on testing our RC! We are awaiting your reports either on this mailing list or via our Issue Tracker: https://github.com/artisan-roaster-scope/artisan/issues The Artisan team
