Sugar house monitor

Planned functionality includes

  1. Monitoring sap levels in each tank
  2. Projecting time to full/empty
  3. Monitoring the vacuum in the line system
  4. Montitoring the stack temperature

Install/setup notes:

  1. Enable UART (hardware serial) with raspi-config:
    • sudo raspi-config nonint do_serial_cons 1
    • sudo raspi-config nonint do_serial_hw 0
  2. Enable a second UART port:
    • sudo vi /boot/firmware/config.txt
    • Make sure the following is at the bottom of the file (un-comment the port you want to use):
    enable_uart=1
    # dtoverlay=uart2   #TX: GPIO0 /   RX: GPIO1
    # dtoverlay=uart3   #TX: GPIO4 /   RX: GPIO5 
    # dtoverlay=uart4   #TX:CE01    /   RX:MISO
    dtoverlay=uart5   #TX: GPIO12 /   RX: GPIO13
