TC4 Roasting App

I do not use a fluid bed roaster preheating. How you create the very first roast profile ? Write and save as a .csv file. See the picture: From what I read so far I can't set a temperature value from the app, so if no profile available, should control power externally, right ? Well, wrong worded above, by "control power externally" I meant using manual duty cycle commands. Without connecting tc4 over bluetooth it will not be possible. Application sends commands to TC4 and reads the data sent from TC4. Viliam

Mastech don't allow download of logged data as csv files, afaik... puzzled...

Having an Arduino with an HC-05 I can read temperatures and modify heat power using serial commands via Artisan or via your app. I have been automating my roasts in Artisan using temperature-dependent Alarms. And I would be very happy, if you could maybe add Alarm functions to the app. In this way I could perform automated roasting via my mobile phone in my pocket. That would be awesome. Any chance that you could add that feature? Thanks for all the great things you have done for the community. Regards from Cologne, Germany Johannes

Also, this app does not allow the phone to go in the standby status, when roast started, so the touch screen will be active with phone in the pocket... a recipe for disaster...

1/4 Pounder Posts: 154 Joined: March 24, 2015	Nicely Renato, of course it's humor. The phone does not need to be put in a pocket, but i also missed the automatic fan speed reduction ability in the TC4 android app . That's why I still roast from a PC. Viliam

Newbie Posts: 8 Joined: January 24, 2021	Sure, I do not perform unattended roasts. But I would still be happy to be able to roast automatically with my smartphone lying nearby instead of having to use a laptop with Artisan.

Already modified for my taste and needs of those times, to pull data from a Mastech MS6514 instead tc4. Check here: https://github.com/greencardigan/TC4-shield/tree/master/applications/Artisan/TC4_Android Beware what BT adapter are you using, is designed for old BT serial stuff, not for newer almost the norm today BLE. Check if your phone know to talk BT 3.0 before launching in this endeavor. Edited by renatoa on 03/08/2021 2:34 AM
