The complete list of Samovar 7.00 emergency scenarios: temperature limits (steam, water, ACP), pressure, flooding sensor, water flow, sensor failure, emergency button, FreeRTOS watchdogs.

Working with Samovar in rectification mode

This page describes the full operating cycle of Samovar in “Rectification” mode: from power-on and column warm-up to the take-off of heads, hearts and tails and the automatic end of the program. The description applies… 

Configuring Samovar Parameters

All Samovar 7.00 parameters on the “Settings” page: seven tabs (Main, Temperatures, Pump, Beer, Cheese, CDC, Other), five DS18B20 sensors, PID, impurity detector, brewing order, MPX5010DP.

Uploading the Sketch to Samovar

Uploading the Samovar sketch to ESP32 takes 10–15 minutes using Arduino IDE or PlatformIO. The steps: (1) install Arduino IDE 2.x and add ESP32 board support through Board Manager (Espressif URL); (2) select the “ESP32… 

Building the Samovar

Building the Samovar takes 2–4 hours and requires no soldering of SMD components. The core is an ESP32 board (38 pin), to which you connect: 3–4 DS18B20 temperature sensors (boiler, column, head), an MPX5010D pressure… 

Parts needed to build Samovar

Minimum set of parts for the device to work: With this set, temperature monitoring in the column will work. If the internet is available and the Blynk app is installed on your phone, you will…
