Here you can find info about the development of the current version 4.0 "Just" which we are now working on. There are several improvements compared to the previous version 3.0 Fermento, the third generation of the experimental incubator.

One of the most visible improvements are the professionally produced PCBs which we had already ready at 33c3. Already for second time we have made complete kits, this time we have complete kits with all parts and also only bare PCBs for the more experienced ones.

Soldering, connection and other info

For the people who has the 4.0 just version kit (equals v2.1b) we have detailed instructions how to solder, connect and use this version. Also if you like you can get in touch with us:

  • at our experimental incubator mailing list
  • directly with Algoldor by sending email to algoldor (you know the sign) foodhackingbase.org
  • directly with Justa

The soldering guide is here shared as a pdf file at TechInc wiki's.

Temperature probes

The DS18B20 temperature probes used have PVC shielding; that makes them unsuitable for long time use at temperatures of 100°C or above, although the sensor works up to 125°C. Some sensors are shielded with PTFE cable (more commonly known as Teflon) which is considered food safe to 160°C, so these sensors can be used up to 125°C (max sensor range). Here are some ordering options:
