Hi All,

This is my fist post but I've frequented the site off and on for a few years now. I've been homeroasting since around 2011 progressing from a popper to my current setup, the Behmor 1600+. I'm looking to log roasts using Artisan. My data collection hardware is:

MacBook Air (late 2018), OSX Mohave 10.14.4
Arduino Uno
Max 6675
K-type thermocouple

I've been able to log with this hardware using the RoastLogger-Max6675 sketch posted on the Roastlogger site: http://roastlogger.co.uk/coffee/roastlo ... nload.html

I'd really like to use Artisan as it has some features I prefer over Roastlogger. But, I'm having a heck of a time getting any meaningful data into Artisan. I'm not a coder so I've tried several solutions that others have found, to no avail.

I'm currently working with the software setup described in this post: Artisan, Arduino and thermocouple woes.
I made a couple changes to the python script posted there to address exceptions. One was to add the "shebang" line at the beginning. The other was to make the script executable. After those changes, I can run in Artisan without exception messages. Here's what I have now.

Python script: The Arduino sketch is modified to match my hardware setup:
This code works in the Python IDE as shown in the output below:



Artisan Device Assignment:



The Artisan main screen shows the message below. The Port Configuration screen doesn't show any available ports.:



When the scope is turned on, I see "callprogram() received: @line 37497" and no temperature data is displayed:




It seems like Artisan is trying to run the script but isn't communicating with Arduino. I will greatly appreciate any help from the gurus on this site.

I ran mine using the modbus protocol under config>device>meter


Then setup the arduino via the config>port>modbus as follows (note that comm port /dev/tty.usbmodem14101 didn't show up in the drop down, I had to use a terminal command to figure out my comm port and manually enter it)


I used the following sketch pulled from https://medium.com/@lukasgrasse/how-to- ... a3334fd7d5 and modified to work with my max31855. It was originally written to work with the max 6675. I just commented those lines out so it wouldn't take much for you to get it working with your max6675. There is some erroneous code as it was meant to control a SSR for heating. You could comment out or delete those lines if you wanted.

Thanks. The MODBUS setup shown in the Medium article is actually the first one I tried. It was giving me some sort of error that I don't recall. I'll try it again if the Python route comes to a dead end.

The original code from the medium post errored for me as well. The posted code is fixed.

I gave up on the Python script and tried out the Modbus setup. It works. Thanks gullygossner!

I had to tweek a few things for my setup. It wasn't working at first because of the Artisan Device Assignment. I had Curves and LCDs both set to ET only. Apparently Artisan defaults to BT when there is only one input. After correcting this I could log data.

I noticed an error in the Arduino code that caused the temperature to show only integer values. An additional set of parenthesis took care of that. There was a -1 in the line that defines the data array. This caused a warning when compiling the code but didn't seem to affect function. After removing the negative sign, it compiles without errors.

I cleaned up the code a bit and added some comments. The code I'm running is shown below. I'm not running any heater control so those lines are commented out. Hopefully this version will help some other newbies get things up and running.

I have wrote a small example how to send data to Artisan using the TC4 protocol.
It's straight forward and easy to extend.

I have been trying to get a Arduino UNO to connect with Artisan. I have had no luck. I was able to get Arduino working with ET/BT thermocouplers and LCDs. I am using set up on a 1kg drum roaster. All I want is to have displays show temps and send needed info to log with Artisan. No plans to control burner. I would could settle for the LCDs and just Arduino sending needed info to Artisan to log. I have no previous experience with programming/coding. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MAX6675

LCDs TM1637

i am using the sketch from greensloth and i am getting a modbus communication error, i know my sketch works and my temp sensors are reading because i can output temps in the arduino monitor. i have double checked all the settings in both artisan and my COM settings on my computer any suggestions

just in case anyone is still trying to get this working with 2 temperature sensors, i spent the last week messing with getting something to work, i modified the code by Lucas and added code to also hook up 2 temperature displays directly to the arduino board. the vcc and gnd pins are all hashed out because the arduino i am using does not have enough pins for the boards to have their own pins so i combined all of the VCC pins to the 5v output pin and the grounds to one ground socket on the arduino. in artisan the settings for the modbus is the same as in previous posts but add in input 2 slave as 1 and register as 3.

Hello
My configuration is:

- Arduino Uno
- Thermocouple MAX6675 K
- Artisan 2.0
- Popcorn popper

Problem: I'm getting -1 for BT

my guess is that Artisan cannot read the temperature.

Thanks for your help
