Phidget USB coffee roaster data logging with Rostoc.

Direct Answer

Rostoc can be tested with selected Phidget USB sensor entries for experimental read-only roast logging.

Phidget is the sensor bridge, not the roaster brand. Diedrich, Mill City, Titanium, Tostabar, VNT, Hive Roaster, and other setups can use Phidget hardware, but support still depends on the exact Rostoc catalog entry and channel map.

• Use Rostoc with exact Phidget 2xRTD, 2xTC, or Databridge-style entries where listed.
• Install the Phidgets driver before testing if the device is not visible.
• Validate BT, ET, and optional channels against known probe order.
• Do not assume every Phidget module or every roaster with a Phidget device is supported.

Covered Phidget entries

Phidget setups are easy to overgeneralize because the hardware is modular. Rostoc support should be treated as module-specific and channel-specific.

If a roaster has a Phidget device but the exact module or channel order is unclear, collect the Phidgets Control Panel details and support evidence before production use.

• Phidget 2xRTD - experimental USB logging for RTD temperature channels.
• Phidget 2xTC - experimental USB logging for thermocouple temperature channels.
• Phidget Databridge - experimental USB logging where the catalog entry and channel mapping match.
• Other Phidget modules - request support unless the current catalog marks the exact setup available.

Validation checklist

The first Phidget validation should prove that the operating system sees the device, Rostoc reads the expected channels, and saved roasts keep the correct stream identity.

Use Rostoc as the logging and record layer. This page does not imply control of the roasting machine.

• Install or update the Phidgets driver.
• Open the Phidgets Control Panel if you need to confirm the attached module and channels.
• Close other apps that may hold the USB device.
• Select the exact Rostoc catalog entry for the roaster or Phidget module.
• Compare each channel against the physical probe labels, then save and reopen a test batch.

Support boundaries

Contact support if the module is missing, the channel order is uncertain, values are swapped, or your roaster brand is not listed with a matching Phidget entry.

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