Phidget

This page provides instructions on how to connect the coffee roasting software, Firescope, with roasting machines that log temperature using Phidget.

Pre-checks before connecting

  • Connect your roasting machine to the computer with a USB cable.

  • Turn on the roasting machine.

Setting up in the Firescope app

  1. On the first roasting machine setup page, click [Connect my machine] or go to the main menu → [Machines] and click [Create].

  2. Choose [Phidget] in the preset field.

  3. Try applying the settings in the [Details] tab

    1. If you’ve used roasting software before, check and apply the Phidget settings from that app.

    2. Sensors not physically connected to the Phidget won’t provide any readings, even if you configure them.

    3. For example, if the Inlet Temperature isn’t connected to the Phidget device, checking IT won’t return a valid value.

  4. Click [Submit]. The connection result will appear within 10 seconds.

    1. If the connection is successful, you’ll be able to see temperature values from your roasting machine.
