Apollo Demo - LM Micra with Acaia brew-by-weight
Second iteration of my brew-by-weight project. Went a little crazy this time. This video doesn't rehash the internal wiring, if you're interested you may want to review the previous video.
It's a living project so things are subject to change, but people can follow along via:

Slayer tip on Micra
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
Just a quick overview of the Slayer steam wand tip in size "0" installed on a Micra. There has been some buzz about this to make microfoam easier. It does slow things down and make it easier to be consistent, but it also doesn't quite match the double walled steam wand in terms of diameter, and it hits the drip tray grille if you swing the wand just right.
Acaia Ion Beam - Short Test
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Год назад
Testing the Ion Beam. It works! It accepts any simple screw-on camera tripod. Operation is completely silent, if it weren’t for the light it would be hard to know it is on. A hint of a breeze can be felt, but not enough to blow grounds. RDT works well too. My main issue is that it seems to make the coffee grind differently/coarser, which could be fine so long as your misting is consistent and y...

    Hey Marcus, thanks for the great video. If the batteries themselves totally died (or one or the other) on the original g4, would that make the unit completely dead as well? My g4 of almost 3 years just died and won't power on at all. Wondering if I can replace the batteries as a possible fix.

      @marcuss6950 thanks for the reply. I opened it up and man those batteries are a pain to get to, and seemingly above my pay grade to replace. More wires than I expected. Might just have to bite the bullet to replace. If it helps make you think of anything else that could have died, it lost power during a really hot day and hasn't shown sign of life since. 3 y/o unit with no previous problems. Even put it in the fridge for an hour

      You’re right. The water prefers specific paths and some parts of the screen are more active than others, on both screens. Probably lines up with the direction of holes in the screws.

    Great tutorial! Out of curiosity, is there a certain amount of pressure that one applies/pushes into the espresso beans puck before attaching the porta filter to pull the espresso? Like, when you were making sure the grounds were level/tamping it down, did you apply a certain amount of weight? (Or, did you only make it level?)

And the best charging speed I’ve seen is 127 kW at 39%. So your numbers are shockingly amazing. Hopefully as the weather improves my efficiency will too.

    Hi Marcus, Great idea! 👋Great project ;-) ... 👍👍 I am actually working on another ESP project, with some D1 Mini ESP's ... Enough CPU and a single GPIO for this Micra steering should be available on all ESP's ?!.. Wonder about the display ... I looked at ESP boards. There are some with a display integrated. May be you can share the part-list you used for this project ? The intelligence of your Arduino project is in the script ;-) .. I presume no GitHub page where this, or even a beta of it, does exist? Enjoy your cofee .. Looks btw, great and tasty ..

I would probably line up the 3 buttons to the right and centered inline with the size of screen, reduce the blank space at the top and bottom (shrinking the height by ~ .75 to .5 inches), and move the switch the side on the box. :)

    Perhaps a silly question. Does the pro version still work if you remove that battery? I'm thinking of course of the poe-power option, using the usb-c converter to provide power to the device that way. I'm struggling for clarity on these specifics. I know there is a pure poe version meanwhile, which is nice, but definitely cannot connect to an oldschool mechanical chime. What I would really like is the ability to poe-power the doorbell, and still have it activate the mechanical chime on press. Ideally without any lithium pack installed(!). Any insight greatly appreciated...

    Great improvements since your last iteration! Two questions: 1. Would this be possible to achieve through a standalone app (e.g. like the la marzocco home app), or is the hardware you’ve built needed? (Wondering if this is the reason LM state older lunars aren’t compatible?) 2. Would this work with other Bluetooth enabled scales? e.g. Felicita arc Amazing work!

    • @marcuss6950
      @marcuss6950 9 месяцев назад

      The official LM brew by weight for the Mini doesn’t work with any Acaia branded scales, old or new. They use custom firmware on scales sold and supported by LM, I think in function the scale itself turns the machine off similar to what the phone app can do. Yes, another type of scale could be adde. One of the things I had considered is coming up with a generic scale interface.
