Coffee Roasting Software Artisan
Artisan Coffee Roasting Software Manual

RoasTime is a lightweight, free, but powerful roast profiling tool which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Artisan provides one-click configurations for more than 60 roaster brands representing over 130 different hardware configurations. Companies marked as “Artisan Supporter” have supported the project financially within the past 2 years.

Control!Machine control (incl. heater, air flow, drum speed, …) via buttons and sliders allowing for automation is currently supported for machines of Aillio, Besca, Carmomaq, Coffed, Coffee Tech, Coffeetool, Giesen, Hottop, IP Xenakis, Kirsch & Mausser, Kuban, Nordic, Probat, San Franciscan and Twino/Ozstar.

RoasterThing is designed to let you easily see the roast profile you're about to use, to save the settings for future review and to add comments after the roast to describe your results or if it's not a Behmor, it lets you record almost everything about the roast including the temperature profile.
Roaster thing and artisan are free software (but you will have to pay for a data logger). But being able to log a roast real time is invaluable.
Most modern roasters use software that translates the thermometer readings from within the machine into real-time curves that clearly illustrate the course of a roast. The typical curve, plotting temperature on the vertical axis and time from left to right, looks like a gracefully ascending checkmark:.

Support!Roaster manufactures often make component changes or substitutions while manufacturing their roasters. Such changes could cause your roaster to differ from the predefined setup. If you encounter a problem setting up your roaster you should first contact your roaster manufacturer for support and ask them to inform us on such changes. The Artisan project runs on donations from individuals and companies that recognize the value of Artisan for their work or leisure. Your time is valuable, please respect that ours is too. Before asking the Artisan team for support please consider making a generous contribution.

Installing Artisan

Step 0: Verify that your hardware is supported

Verify that your operating system fulfills the requirements listed under supported Platforms.

Verify that your roasting machine and the devices you plan to operate with Artisan are among the Supported Machines or Supported Devices.

Note that Supported Machines are those manufactures that have chosen to support the development of Artisan, but if your manufacture is not listed the devices used may still work with Artisan and will have to be manually input.

Step 1: Download Artisan for your platform

Find and download the package of the latest release for your platform. The filenames are as follows, with x.x.x the version number.

macOS: artisan-mac-x.x.x.dmg
Windows: artisan-win-x.x.x.zip
Linux Redhat/CentOS: artisan-linux-x.x.x.rpm
Linux Debian/Ubuntu: artisan-linux-x.x.x.deb
Raspberry Pi: artisan-linux-x.x.x_raspbian-XX.deb

Step 2: Install Artisan on your system

Windows

Extract the downloaded zip archive and start the included installer.

macOS

Mount the installation .dmg archive with a double-click and drag the contained Artisan.app to your Applications folder. Note that Phidgets released new drivers for macOS 10.15 Catalina which must be installed and authorized.

Linux

Install the downloaded installer file by a double-click or run the installer via the following console command on

Redhat/CentOS

Debian/Ubuntu/Raspian

Step 3: Install serial driver (if needed)

To operate some devices like Phidget modules or certain meters you need to install corresponding drivers. See the corresponding Section under Supported Devices for further details.

Linux

In case you run into permission problems such that Artisan is not allowed to read or write to the selected /dev/USB device, you might need to add your account (username) to the dialout group via

After this command you might need to logout and login again. Try

that your account was successful added to the dialout group.

Note that for apps running by non-root users access to Phidgets or Yoctopuce devices require the installation of corresponding udev rules. Check the Phidgets and Yoctopuce platform installation notes. Those rules are installed automatically by Artisan, but require the users to be in the sudo group for security considerations.

Step 4: Configure Artisan for your setup

You need to tell Artisan which machine or devices you attached. Startup Artisan and select your roasting machine (menu Config >> Machines) or open the Device Assignment dialog (menu Config >> Device) and configure your device here.

The serial settings for meters are already configured by Artisan automatically when you select a device for the first time (or when you change devices). The only setting that is not configured is the serial port number being used. To find out your serial port, connect your device/meter and select the correct comm port from the ports popup menu. You can test to see if you have the correct comm port by clicking the green button “ON” on the top of the main window. If you see the two temperatures from the meter come up on the LCDs, you have completed all the configuration steps. You can now start using artisan.

Consistent USB names on Debian (by Rob Gardner)

On some Debian-based systems the USB device names are different, once /dev/tty/USB0 another time /dev/tty/USB1, on each connect of the same device. The solution is to add a udev rule that creates a symbolic link with a constant name to point to the actual device. In my situation, I added a file called

that contains this

This tells udev to create a symbolic link “tmd-56” to point to the real device file. You can use the ‘lsusb’ command to easily find the vendor and product ID for your device. Then I just simply tell Artisan that my serial port is /dev/tmd-56 and it always finds it, no matterif the probe is plugged in before or after starting Artisan. You may need to customize the plugdev group also for your distro and addyourself to the plugdev group. On some systems the “dialout” group is used for serial devices (see above).

Omega HH806AU / Omega HH802U / Amprobe TMD-56

The Omega HH806AU, HH802U as well as the Amprobe TMD-56 device are supported by Artisan only if they are communicating on channel 0.

Fuji PXR/PXG 4 & 5 PID

Artisan uses one decimal point. You have to manually configure your pid so that it outputs one digit after the decimal point. See page 42 in the instruction manual.

On Linux, Artisan needs read/write access to the USB device. Corresponding udev rules are automatically installed along Artisan in /etc/udev/rules.d. However, those require the users to be in the sudo group for security considerations.
