Hive Roaster Data Dome setup with Rostoc.

Direct Answer

Rostoc can be tested with the Hive Roaster Data Dome catalog entry for experimental read-only roast logging.

This page is for the Data Dome path, not a blanket statement that every Hive Roaster workflow or custom sensor setup is ready. Validate the exact probe channels before using the data in production.

• Use the Hive Roaster Data Dome entry in the Rostoc catalog.
• Connect the Data Dome through the expected USB sensor path.
• Validate each temperature channel against the roaster workflow.
• Keep the first session as a short test before production logging.

Covered setup

Hive Roaster setups are often used in hands-on sample, home, or small-batch workflows, where the sensor accessory matters as much as the roaster body. Rostoc should be configured from the Data Dome catalog entry so support, streams, and saved records stay aligned.

If another logger already reads the Data Dome, keep screenshots or a `.aset` file as evidence. The Rostoc setup still needs a direct hardware validation pass.

• Hive Roaster Data Dome - experimental Phidget USB logging.
• Other Hive Roaster variants - request support unless an exact catalog entry says otherwise.
• Custom probe orders - validate channel labels before saving production records.

Validation checklist

A good first validation proves that the computer sees the USB device, Rostoc reads live values, and the saved roast keeps the correct channel labels.

Do not assume Rostoc is operating the roaster. Use normal Hive Roaster procedures and treat Rostoc as the logging and record layer.

• Install the Phidgets driver if the device is not visible.
• Close any application already connected to the Data Dome.
• Add the Hive Roaster Data Dome entry from the Rostoc catalog.
• Compare bean and environment readings against a trusted reference.
• Save and reopen a test batch to confirm labels, values, and chart routing.

Support boundaries

Contact support if the Data Dome does not appear, the channel order is unclear, values are missing, or the catalog entry does not match the hardware in front of you.

Start with the machine compatibility guide, the Hive Roaster catalog page, and the Phidget USB setup docs.
