Phidget Databridge coffee roaster logging with Rostoc.
Rostoc has experimental read-only logging support for the Phidget Databridge catalog entry. Use this guide when the Phidget module itself is the sensor bridge for a coffee roaster setup.

Direct Answer
Rostoc can be tested with the Phidget Databridge entry as an experimental Databridge-style temperature-channel setup.
This is a sensor logging setup, not a blanket statement that every Phidget module or every roaster wired to Phidget hardware is supported.
- Exact catalog entry: Phidget Databridge.
- Connection path: Phidget USB sensor logging.
- Expected streams: Bean Temp, Env Temp, Phidget Input 3, Phidget Input 4.
- Support status: Experimental until the exact module and channel mapping are validated.
Module boundary
Phidget setups are modular, so the module, driver, physical probes, and channel order matter. Choose this entry only when it matches the attached module and desired stream map.
If the roaster has its own brand-specific Phidget catalog entry, use that brand entry instead of a generic module entry.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Module identity | The selected catalog entry should match the attached Phidget module or sensor bridge. |
| Driver visibility | The operating system and Phidgets driver must see the module before Rostoc can read it. |
| Channel order | BT, ET, and optional inputs should match the physical probe layout. |
Setup checklist
Confirm the Databridge device, driver visibility, and channel mapping before saving production roasts.
- Install the Phidgets operating-system driver if the module is not visible.
- Add Phidget Databridge from the Rostoc machine catalog.
- Close other roasting software connected to the same USB device.
- Compare Bean Temp, Env Temp, Phidget Input 3, Phidget Input 4 against the physical probe labels or a trusted reference.
- Save and reopen a short test batch before daily production use.
Catalog and support links
Start with the Phidget Databridge docs catalog page, the Phidgets catalog page, and the Phidget USB setup docs.
Contact support if the module is missing, the driver cannot see it, or channel labels do not match the physical probes.
FAQ
Does Rostoc support Phidget Databridge?
Rostoc has experimental support for the Phidget Databridge catalog entry. Validate the exact module and channels before production use.
Does this mean every Phidget module is supported?
No. Support depends on the exact catalog entry, module type, driver visibility, and channel mapping.
Can Rostoc control a roaster through this module?
Do not assume control support from this page. The module pages are for read-only roast data logging and saved records.
Do I need to select a COM port?
No. Phidget USB logging uses the USB device directly rather than a serial COM-port setup.
