Yes, you can look up the resistance value via the API. It's as simple as entering a URL like: http://192.168.1.103/api/temp/0

The result would like like:
{"name":"Kegerator","temp":377,"setpoint":360,"resistance":27747,"enabled":true,"coefficients":[0.0011371549,0.0002325949,9.5400029999e-8]}

Is there an ETA for the Digi support? Just curious if it will be in Beta 3, 4, or not available until 4.0 is GA.

I'd also recommend checking out bbrally's temperature probe coefficient calculator: http://bbrally.from-ca.com/

It uses the API for resistance and does a lot of the math for you, and saves the coefficients back to the device.

Digi support will not be included in 4.0 GA. The Digi boards have been phased out due to lack of demand for them and at this point we don't plan on adding support for them in 4.0 and beyond. The implementation caused issues for a lot of people who ended up returning them after they purchased them because they couldn't actually do what was needed.

That sucks. The Digi board is an integral part of my design. Will the API support it so I can maybe do something on my own?

No, the Digi board is a pre-4.0 product only.

Are you using a 460 or 462?

Have you actually been using the digi already? or is this something you're designing?

I am in the final stages of my build (I actually am nearly done, I swear...). All I have to do is run some conduit on the brew frame and connect the wires to the BCS and it was on to testing and debugging. This is my BCS enclosure with the digi board in this 'final' resting place.

Grrr...

well I updated to the latest Firmware a while back. Transferred my settings, but.... I need to re-create all the processes I had been using. Like a big dope, I didn't do this BEFORE I brewed, so now I've got a batch waiting to pitch (my system is for fermentation control).

Seems glitchey too - under the Rename Process option, then you enter new name and hit enter and it adds a small text box to the right hand side with the previous name?? Odd
