1. The alarm in System Setting is set to /alarm_clock.mp3. Where is this file? Can I add my own mp3?
A. Can I add my own mp3?
b. Can you have more than one mp3?

2. How do I find the firmware version that I have?

3. Is the source code for the interface available?

4. Has anyone "written" a manual on HMI?

I am still assembling my parts for some assisted brewing so I have not done much in programming yet so I will have a lot more questions.

I've never tried it, but I think you can specify the MP3 but it probably has to be on a web server.
You can only have one mp3.

It's displayed on the settings page in the Firmware Upgrade subsection.

No, not at this time.

I really don't know anything about the HMI, sorry. I've tried playing with it a few times, but haven't really figured it out. That's part of the reason that it's one of the big outstanding items from 4.0.

I try it and you can add your own mp3 for the alarm. I actually put a song on the web and added the address and when I tested it, my Celtic Woman song sounded (6.8mb). By the way Dropbox has a public area where you can store stuff and make it "public". I would assume that the path is limited to 64 characters like the image for the HMI. I am not sure still what would happen if you are not connected to the internet for your image or mp3.

I have two instances of the BCS Interface (two computers). The image link transfers but the alarm does not. On one computer I get my own mp3 (Celtic Woman) but on the other the standard buzzer.

Clear your cache on the computer. They both pull what's saved in the BCS.

Any updates on whether the client source code is available, now for the 4.x firmware? I'd like to expand on the existing interface to add some brew calculations and possibly some persistent storage for historical brews, including ingredients and calcs. I'd prefer that over wrapping the existing client and it's not so easy (near impossible) to work with the minified/uglified code.
