#IO dashboards

So there's a few different ways depending on what devices you have, and what the server is, and how you want to present the data to the user.

#

For instance, you can use the web version of the dashboards in Adafruit IO and display them on a TFT or similar, or you could fetch just the data you want via the API and display that in whatever way you want.

#

This is all providing that you are pushing up sensor data into Adafruit IO.

#

@craggy carbon does that make sense?

craggy carbon
#

Yes, all I want is to make the device show the progression of the task over 7 to 14 days

#

Or more for a cold fermentation

#

For something like that, the MagTag is perfect. It sips power when it deep sleep, and the e-ink display is great, and it comes with some neopixels so that you can even light up the display if you want (providing you put an enclosure that covers the LEDs so that the light is reflected back down onto the e-ink screen).

#

it's got everything you need in one sweet package

#

and hooking it up to Adafruit IO is dead simple

#

For instance, I have a Google Calendar MagTag that updates every 30 minutes, and it lasts upwards of three weeks on one 500 mAh battery.

Only wifi or bt. Hard to read stuff throught stainless.

wet imp
#

Can you explain?

craggy carbon
#

Something like that

wet imp
#

Would have been pretty helpful if you would have started with that. So, you mentioned stainless, where's the stainless steel? Are you fermenting inside a keg/vat or similar?

#

And you want a sensor to monitor the process, similar to the link you sent?

#

You could use something like a QT Py with BT/WiFi with a battery that can then float inside the vat, and then put a hardwired receiving device at the top of the vat that can then transfer that data out... But, that's beyond the scope of Adafruit IO.

Stainless steel conical fermenter

#

I was thinking about a pico with esp32 and a gy-lsm6ds3 (adafruit-lsm6dsox)

wet imp
#

Isn't the Pico RP2040 based?

#

or did you mean qt py?

craggy carbon
#

Rp2040

craggy carbon
#

Sorry I am a little slow to answer, it's soon bed time for the kids

wet imp
#

there are rp2040 qt pys, they are small and would be perfect for the type of application you're looking for

craggy carbon
#

Yeah for the dev versions I'll use those. But the final version will be on a one board pcb.

#

Custom pcb

#

I don't know how to calc the Power consumption tho

wet imp
#

one sec

#

I think there's a thing you can use for this...

#

that should work

#

@craggy carbon hopefully one of these two should work

#

should snap into place with all the other STEMMA QT stuff like a boss

craggy carbon
#

Thanks a lot! Will check that out. But I don't have much space in the 50 ml centrifuge tube

wet imp
#

I'm thinking maybe you can do the two additional breakout boards back to back, might fit?

craggy carbon
#

the thing is it has to keep battery life to up to 60 days

#

if I add stuff it will take more juice

wet imp
#

You can't expect a test rig to run for 60 days. I'd advise you remove the fuel gauge for the production version

#

This was more for you to get an idea of how long the battery lasts

craggy carbon
#

Oh ok

#

For the dev side. Good idea then
