Finally got meself a stable routine for #baking #bread ^____^

In the past I've tried growing a "wild" starter on whole-grain rye flour but failed time and time again, but yay now I can just make rye #sourdough from fresh #kefir in a day, quite happy with that.

Third time is the charm. Not really #newhere, but after #joindiaspora and #Anjara pods closed, I was invited to Diasp.org by @V. T. Eric Layton. Thanks for the invite!

Looking forward to settling down here.

You will see posts about:

#science #philosophy #music (specially #jazz and #FrankZappa ) #fermentation (specially #WaterKefir and #sourdough ) #HigherEducation #Amsterdam #TheNetherlands (or #Nederland in the local language) plus some #randomthoughts . I have lately been getting into #psychiatry and #criminology has always been an intellectual interest for me. I am of course a user of #Linux but I am not that tech-savy. I do know #R because I teach #statistics . I am also interested in #SASS if you know what that means. I am probably forgetting stuff, but that is enough for now :)

E-Ink Equipped Sourdough Starter Jar Monitoring CO2 Production And Height Stats With MQTT Output

Also known as sourdough starters, they are usually found in jars with curious names written on top, living off a mixture of flour and water. They require close monitoring to keep them healthy and to determine when they are ready for baking.

Noah wanted to be able to see recent CO2 production and height stats right on the jar, a ESP32 module with onboard E-ink display was used. To draw air over the CO2 sensor at a constant rate, a small extraction fan was also added. Power is provided by a small LiPo battery. For long term logging, the data is sent over MQTT to a server running Mycodo environmental regulation software.

There are still several software improvements Noah would like to make, including battery life, user interface and alerts, but everything is open-source and available on GitHub, so feel free to jump in and build your own.
