USBrewMinder
YouTube Video A bubble counter used to monitor fermentation progress making homemade wine. It could be used for making beer also. It minds my brew using a usb port. It continuously monitors alcohol percentage by counting carbon dioxide bubbles and then back-calculating the amount of alcohol produced. The concept is fairly simple; use an infrared LED emitter and detector pair placed on opposite sides of the fermentation lock. When a bubble passes by, it breaks the beam and sends an on/off pulse to teensy. On the PC side, a VB.net application to interrogates Teensy at a specified frequency and reports back the number of bubbles counted and converts volume of carbon dioxide produced to mass of ethanol produced. I also included a graph and a dashboard to track progress over time. |

Splunk LED Meter
Website, Part 1 /
Part 2 /
Part 3 Splunk is an application we use to collect and monitor logs all across our systems. If the log volume is higher or lower than usual, it is a basic signal that something may be wrong on the network. The problem with the web dashboard is that I have to remember to open and refresh it. If I could just have an LED bar on the side of my monitor keeping tabs on the license usage for me, my brain would naturally get used to daily patterns and be able to notice subconsciously when something is wrong. |
