Do I needed to start fresh again?
No. Try day_trippr's suggestion. Run raspi-config and try expanding the file system. Then go back and run the commands to install all the packages again cause not everything was installed.
Do I needed to start fresh again?
$ sudo raspi-config
Shouldn't have to. Just open a terminal session and use:
Code:$ sudo raspi-config
and you should see an entry in the menu to "expand_rootfs - Expand root partition to fill SD card"
Cheers!
[edit] I suspect "files are already expanded" is not the same thing as expanding the root partition...

Drop noobs and get a rasbian image. Install the sd card. Extend the file system. Boot to desktop.
to run run the Rasbian image. Im going to keep giving this install shot after shot to try and get it to work.
Finally got things up and running last night. For some reason I had to install everything on an 8GB SB instead of a 4 GB (which worked last year). My new issue the screen blanking didnt seem to work. I checked the code and it matches what the install instructions state. Also how to you get it to load straight to the taplist on start up. I remember I was able to do that when I had it previously installed. Thanks for the help guys.
I had the same problem. Check that you modified the proper autostart file. You really want to modify the one in LXDE-pi rather than LXDE
Thanks I found a post mentioning that in the old thread soon after posting.
Also, I fixed this problem otherwise by installing the screensaver and turning it off. seems to trump the screen blanking.
Im planning on installing the motion sensor add on next. But how did you add the screensaver?
Ah, ok, verbiage didn't compute as it's not really "files" that are extended/expanded, it's a partition.
I haven't done a new Raspbian build in nearly two years, and from what I've been seeing there've been enough changes to Raspian and LXDE that my experience is pretty stale in some areas.
But, just to be sure you're not facing a space issue, in a terminal session use the 'df' command.

Cool - it even shows free space on remote-mounted devices (the ReadyShare is a USB stick plugged into one of my routers that I do automagic nightly backs ups of my RaspberryPints database and my temperature logger database).
Anyway, if rootfs-/dev/root is maxxed out it might explain what you're butting up against...
Cheers!
How'd you set it up to run an automatic back up of your stuff. Id love to do this so I can prevent this mess in the future. Especially if I turn this Pi into a BrewPi. Thanks
One of my swiss flows died, so I'm looking at switching over to these. It's hard to see in the pictures, but is there a special connection on the end? I was planning on wiring them to Cat5 cables so I could plug them in to my project box without having to open it up. I was just going to cut off an end of the cable and attach the wires. On the swiss flows, I just soldered the wires together. Can I just push copper wires in to the connector? Hopefully that makes sense.
Also, What type of connectors did you put on the ends to attach your hoses? Will the same adapters I have for the swiss flow work?
And finally, now that you've had them for a bit, how do you like them?
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure there is only a single pulses-per-unit volume constant in the R'Pints code.
That means you can't mix meters...
Cheers!
I came up with a different way to do the screen-saver / power saver option. When my monitor is plugged in, it goes to whatever state it was in previously as far as on or off. So I turned it on then unplugged it.
I bought one of http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087ZTDAS and wired it up in a small junction box, sacrificing a small extension cord to be the power side, soldering the wires to the pins and covering with heat shrink. The 12v signal comes from the motion detector that I use that's powered off a 12v adapter, that also powers my recirculating fan inside the kegerator and some of the LEDs.
Now, when I walk downstairs to my basement, the LED lights kick on and the screen turns on. After a few minutes, it all turns off. Near zero power consumption the rest of the time, and it doesn't get a lot of on/off switching because the kegerator isn't in a high-traffic area.
Maybe doing a hard power on / off of the monitor isn't great - maybe it's not a big deal whatsoever... but this method works perfectly for me and may be an option for you.

Sorry for the late response. Life/work has been getting in the way of beer :-(
I also used a network cable. I put one of these in my project box.
http://www.adafruit.com/products/909
For the connectors I used 3 pin JST connectors attached to a network cable with the end cut off.
https://www.adafruit.com/products/1663
For the barb connector to the hose I you need 1/4" barb x 1/2" NPT found here: http://www.grainger.com/product/THOGUS-Female-Adapter-3XVT2
I have been happy with the meters so far. My test pours show it to be fairly accurate, but I have not yet properly measured a starting point and emptied a keg to see how accurate they will be after going through 5G. Even if not perfect I am sure they are close enough for me. I don't need to know down to the ounce, I just want to know when a keg is getting near the end so that I know when to plan the next brew.
One last question. Did you change the following like TimL suggested?
Chang the following line in /includes/pours.php
$amount = $PULSE_COUNT / 21120;
to
$amount = $PULSE_COUNT / 1500;
Actually the meters Tim has looked the same but are in fact not adafruit.
I set mine to 3000

[...]I hooked everything up by cat5 cable and soldered the wires I was going to use. Unfortunately, it's not ready any pours.[...]
