Hi Koji

Great to hear from you...and thanks for the kind words!

I'm surprised and sorry to hear you're having trouble getting it shipped to Japan.

Phidgets is another possibility. Have you looked into that? As long as you have a WiFi network, the following would work

1) Wireless VINT Hub:

2) Thermocouple Sensor:

3) And, then a K type thermocouple that would fit your roaster

------------------------

Otherwise, the RBP protocol is free to use, and works great, but you would have to actually build and program the hardware that it runs on. In other words, there is no pre-built hardware that supports it. You have to build it yourself.

Let me know if you want more information - I'll be happy to provide it!

 

It's been a blur since February. I'm embarrassed to admit that every month or so, as I'm planning and working on Roastmaster for iOS 15, it hits me that I never added the feature list for 14 to the website after release. When it does, I promise myself I'll do it later in the week, and then forget again for another month.

I will still get to the that - hopefully with a more formal explanation for each item than the internal punch-list that I kept. But, for now...here is the Roastmaster for iOS 14 "What's New" list.

   •   iOS 14 support
   •   Dark Mode support
   •   Pull to Dismiss gesture support
   •   Reimagined interface–designed to be cleaner, lighter and more informative
   •   iOS Shortcuts integration with Siri support enables you to build complex workflows to automatically retrieve and process data from your Roastmaster database, whether Roastmaster is running or not
   •   Data logging overhaul with massive under-the-hood improvements to reduce processing power and preserver battery life
   •   New Universal Scales support for Curves let you profile with readings or controls other than just temperature…such as humidity, pressure, Agtron and more.
   •   Control curves now support Automatic Data Logging, just like Reading Curves
   •   Complete and expanded RBP 2.0 Protocol
   •   Native support for the upcoming RoastLink Pro Bluetooth LE hardware
   •   Probes are now stored in the database, and travel with it
   •   List views now support multiple item export
   •   Reimagined Roast Console and Roast Analyzer–both with a cleaner, lighter and brighter look–revamped to removed distractions, and focus on important information to speed your workflow
   •   Dedicated event browser in the Roast Analyzer shows both upcoming and completed events, and their statuses at a glance
   •   Improved color chooser with dark mode preview
   •   Smarter curve rendering engine, that adaptively lightens and darkens colors to fit the current interface mode, for a better viewing experience in both light and dark environments
   •   Dedicated console graph settings chooser and settings view
   •   Brand new sounds and improved sounds engine. Non-essential sounds are now fully controlled by the device volume buttons, while alarms play at the full system alert volume.
   •   Informative roast degree icons show the relative darkness of a roast at a glance, and are displayed in completed roasts in place of the start/stop button
   •   Long tap the start button in the roast console after a roast has finished to quickly choose a roast degree
   •   New Restock Inventory Report shows you which beans need to be reordered based on the Inventory Warning Threshold of each bean
   •   New Event types for Development time and percentage, and Pyrolysis time and percentage–all supporting auto-trigger
   •   Support for Phidgets Wireless VINT Hub removes reliance on expensive SBC units
   •   Full time editing for recent roasted, blended and cupped items
   •   Improved iconography and colors based on a maximally perceptually-distinct color palette aid in navigation
   •   Bug fixes

Hi Chuck

I'll be doing some more formal, in-depth testing over the coming weeks with the 14 build running on 15. However, I've been running it on iOS 15 without issue since the update was released. Beyond that, I haven't had any users contact me with problems.

I'd feel safe applying the update.

OK. Thanks Danny! It should have been obvious to me.
