Direct Answer
Rostoc can be tested with the Diedrich 6-Sensor entry for experimental Phidget USB roast data logging.
This is a logging setup, not machine control. Keep operating the roaster with its normal controls and use Rostoc to record live roast data.
- Exact catalog entry: Diedrich 6-Sensor.
- Connection path: Phidget USB sensor logging.
- Expected streams: Bean Temp, Env Temp, Board Temp, Roast Air 0%.
- Support status: Experimental until the exact hardware is validated.
Model boundary
Use this page only for the Diedrich 6-Sensor catalog entry. The Pre-2018 entry and CR/DR machines should be checked separately.
Diedrich Phidget entries are separate from Diedrich CR and DR Modbus TCP entries. Select the catalog entry that matches the machine and connection method in front of you.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Sensor package | 4-Sensor, 6-Sensor, and 6-Sensor Pre-2018 entries have separate catalog rows. |
| USB device visibility | The operating system and Phidgets driver must see the device before Rostoc can read channels. |
| Channel order | BT, ET, and extra channels should match the physical probes before production use. |
Setup checklist
Treat the first session as a short validation run. The goal is to prove live values, stream labels, and saved batch replay.
- Install the Phidgets operating-system driver if the device is not visible.
- Add Diedrich 6-Sensor from the Rostoc machine catalog.
- Close other roasting software that may already be connected to the USB device.
- Compare Bean Temp, Env Temp, Board Temp, Roast Air 0% against the roaster display, probe labels, or a trusted reference.
- Save and reopen a test batch to confirm chart labels and values.
Catalog and support links
Start with the Diedrich 6-Sensor docs catalog page, the Diedrich brand catalog, and the Phidget USB setup docs.
Contact support if the sensor package, probe order, or connection method is unclear.
FAQ
Does Rostoc support Diedrich 6-Sensor?
Rostoc has experimental support for Diedrich 6-Sensor when it matches the Phidget USB catalog entry. Validate the exact hardware before production use.
Can Rostoc control a Diedrich 6-Sensor?
Do not assume control support from this page. This setup is for read-only roast data logging and saved records.
Do I choose a COM port for this setup?

What should I check first if readings look wrong?
Check the selected catalog entry, driver visibility, probe order, and whether another application is already connected to the USB device.
