A further update to the RoastLogger to version 2.1.5 24/8/2014 is available. This update adds the functionality to configure RoastLogger to start up in different modes. Currently two modes are implemented, full RoastLogger mode and a simplified interface for those who use the Controller for input/control. This update also provides an option to auto open the active action table when the relevant stage of the roast is reached and a number of other changes.
For further information on the changes in this update please see the following version information and the
RoastLogger website. Version 2.1.5 24/8/20141. Added the functionality to configure RoastLogger to start up in either of two different modes, full RoastLogger mode, or a mode offering a simplified interface for users who only use the Controller for input/control. In the simplified mode all input tabs except the Controller are removed. All controls and menu items associated with the removed input tabs are also removed and the main window title is changed to “RoastLogger Hottop Controller” to distinguish it from the full RoastLogger version. Whilst this mode is intended for the growing number of Hottop roaster users who control their roaster via an HTRI board it can be used by anyone who uses the Controller for input/control. To change startup mode check or uncheck the Config. menu > ‘Start in RoastLogger Hottop Controller mode in future’, and then restart RoastLogger.
2. Changed the main window title from "RoastLogger with Arduino Controller" to "RoastLogger & Controller”. Renamed Arduino Controller to “Controller”. Changed the T1 and T2 labels on the banner, main window status area and chart to T1-BT and T2-ET. Changed a number of other labels and tooltips.
3. Added a menu option to auto open the active action table and close all others. This should be useful to users with low resolution displays where it is not possible to have all relevant action tables open at the same time. When this option is checked the following actions cause the tables to open and close automatically:
Start or reset for a new roast - opens the Action at start and reset table and closes other tables
Load beans button pressed - opens the Action at T1 table and closes other tables
First crack stat button pressed - opens the Action at secs. after FC table and closes other tables
4. Changed the default setting for the Controller slider granularity for a new installation to 1% steps (previously default was 5% steps).
5. Updated the Help Contents to cover the above.
6. Updated the splash screen
