Hmm. I'm using Artisan running on a Raspberry Pi3. It's running v1.2.0 now. No problems controlling everything and have it automatically controlling the roast from start to finish via alarms. Hottop 2k+
Was really pumped to get it running on the Pi. I'm running Raspbian Stretch (latest version on the Pi) and the Artisan is built for Jessie but it installed and runs perfectly. Very consistent roasts year round. I'm triggering the control via been temperature.

fan and heat controls for hottop artisan v1.1.0
sorry, well motor on off ok , stirrer on off ok , door open close all good....just the slide controls do nothing to the temp. All temps read ok . I am on mac 10.12.6 gone through random settings via the net , understand some of it , nil help from shop, suppose its more a pc thing but it was $660 more for usb . getting desperate
.....fan no control either

Hello and welcome Paolo,
When you say pc has full control but not heater and fan, what do you actually have full control of?
Can you provide a bit more info please?
Is the heater and fan control connected to OT1 and OT2 respectively?

Don't think it is. The Artisan documentation, as poor as it is, does say it doesn't recognise HID devices "for various reasons". My Center304 was also plug and play, but only after I bought a $70 usb cable >

I am low on the tech side of this but is the Yocto an HID? I put one on about 8 months ago, I think it was the first thing ever that worked so smoothly and seamlessly with any monitoring software, In Artisan it has dedicated setup

Thanks....
the cs software does everything I need anyway. Was just interested in trying somthing else.

This is correct. Artisan doesn't accept HID (human interface device) which is what the headsnob is. But someone with much more brains than myself figured it out via writing a program or reprogramming Artisan or something like that. Not easy but it's possible.
My advice is choose your roasting software first and then buy the appropriate thermometer to match.

Not out of the box. Someone reverse engineered it though and posted about it on this forum.

Do you guys know if artisan can use heatsnob? I tried but with no recognition.

To be fair version 1.0.0b3 is still in beta testing. I've solved the slow serial commands and COM port issues but there are other issues like it randomly crashing for 30mins.
Anyway, I managed to do my first semi-automated roast today. Computer controlled up to FC and then over to manual. Sweet!

Gosh, ok so avoid 1.0 then. That's a worry.
Glad you got everything working! I was going to point you in the direction of the mailing list if you weren't able to work it all out yourself, but you got there AND found the mailing list. Nice work

Ok, space bar working now, that was weird. Anyway the serial commands on 1.0 are really slow, like instead of taking 1-2 seconds for my Arduino to receive slider values, it's taking 10-15.
And seems Artisan is opening and closing the COM port every time it sends a serial command. This is causing my Arduino to reset itself every time. Workaround is a grounding the reset pin with a 10uF cap. However the cap needs to be removed every time you want to upload a new sketch.

ok, as future reference in case anyone has this issue in the future.
Yes Artisan can manage multiple devices but set up is a bit tricky. You either need to add "Extra Devices", use "Symbolic Assignment", or setting the main ET/BT device to different COM port. Takes a bit of mucking about to get everything talking.
Serial commands are only transmitted on the main ET/BT com port (for now). So if you plan to control your roaster via computer, your interface device must be connected to this COM port.
You can map temps being captured by other devices to ET and BT by using the Symbolic Assignments. Useful if like me, your interface device is separate to your thermometers.
And there is no real centralised Artisan support forum but there is an active mailing list. Replies are prompt, just make sure your spam filter isn't blocking it.
