One second into the video, I already pressed thumbs up for the Hendrix painting.
I've had all my components for months and have been stalling diving in. This video is exactly what I needed, thanks!
Do it! 🎉
I love the not-so-subtle "Dad! Come closer!", made me chuckle. But thanks for the effort of making the build-log, it will prove useful to many, im sure! I hadn't realized it will silence the machine so much either!
The flow and pressure profile in itself is incredible, but I think what it does to the steam is also pretty remarkable.
What does it do to the steam?
@@greenspider3664 If I'm understanding it correctly, it keeps the heating up while steaming because the temp is dropping, so you will have a lot more steaming capacity as it keeps producing steam that way.
That latte art was spectacular! I've never seen a Toucan/Octopus/Seahorse hybrid! 😄 On a serious note, thanks for making this video. I've been putting off taking the plunge on my Gaggia Classic Pro and this was the kick I needed. Thanks!
Thank you for explaining and being thorough. It was nice to see the workflow in a more realiestic setting rather than in a glamourous studio enviroment other youtubers use. Am planning on upgrading from a Delonghi dedica EC685 to a setup like this one. Am finding the dedica a little limiting, but it is fine for beginners and for smaller apartments.
Thanks for the video :)
Sensational Vid!
I really appreciate that you took the time to record & post your Lego build. I can’t personally afford or justify the prices on the build kits once the exchange rate & shipping is taken into account.
Thanks again for your video as it has definitely helped my confidence to proceed. 😁👍
got my lego build up and running 2 days ago, thank you for the video.
Am I the only one that saw the brew temperature go from 94 to 106 during the shot? I’ve ordered the parts but definitely want to avoid brew temperature of 222° ha ha
By the way, phenomenal work amazing video. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thanks so much! Thankfully it didnt actually go to 222 and grenade in my kitchen
Thanks for the video! It makes it a lot clearer and the whole task does not seem as daunting when you see it.
It would be much appreciated if you can also make a film of how you flashed the board
Yes!!! I don't have one of these machines but I've always thought there needs to be better videos on it. Thanks for sharing this! The machine sounds like an old rotary engine when it's brewing.
Glad it was helpful!
@@beebles2499 very helpful actually. The schematics and documentation is very good but sometimes you need a visual aid.
Rule number 1: Always purge the steam wand :D
Wow many thanks for your video, it has a lot of excellent explanations that I had to dig up on the discord previously, again thank you for your Log, it's super helpful !
This is what we needed. Thanks for making this!
Im gonna be commenting here for help when I get started
Latte Art sponsored by The Riddler 😂 Great Job on the build!
awesome video bro, I may just wait until someone sell the blackbox ready to install ....Great work !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video and thank you for video-documenting your build.
thanks, this is very helpful. I'm hopefully nearing the end of my build but the current documentation is not beginner friendly, to put it kindly
Steamorama baby nice!
Glad you got your parts. For some reason I keep getting male adapters for the transducer when I ordered female. 3rd time is the charm hopefully. Waiting months for one part is killing me. I plan to take a week off work and make a video as well. Wish me luck.
Good luck! Just order it off amazon if its taking so long!
Enjoyed the video. I wanted to see something that is not in a studio or fancy b rolls. This was realistic.
I also make my coffee in my boxers :P
Good going my guy!
Ha thanks! Those are shorts tho... not putting myself in my boxers on youtube :D
Very helpful video! Thank you.
Thoughts on jumping right into STM32 instead of nano -> stm32 for better documentation's sake? It seems like with your video and the links in description, building with the stm32 initially isn't too bad.
BTW, this vid was algorithm'd to me. Nice work!
Oh good to know and thanks! Definitely recommend straight to stm. Loogle is putting out new documentation that makes it way easier. Between the time i started and finished there were a lot more docs released.
Great job! Thanks for the video
Glad you liked it!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your hard work. Looks like a really good shot. What is the brown stuff you added to it? Bosco?
agave
Awesome! Was also looking for this. Keep up the good work!
This video is awesome! I’ve been toying with the idea of this mod versus the shades of coffee mods. Admittedly, this mod has been a little intimidating, so I was leaning towards shades of coffee. After seeing your video, I’m reconsidering. You mentioned there were some pre-orders that avoided the Lego build. I wasn’t sure if that just meant all the components come in a kit, or if some of the components were preassembled. Can you please clarify? Also, where can I find that group pre-order? Thank you!
Hey Jon. The preoder information can be found on the gaggiuino discord and github. Check out the channel "pcb and be free" on the discord for more info
gaggiuino.github.io/#/pcb/singleboard
@@beebles2499 thank you!!
I have all the pieces but been delaying starting the process. Would love to have this video in slower playback so I can follow as you go along 😅
Thank you so much for this! This video gave me the courage to start after having the components were delivered and sitting in my storeroom for 1 month.
Did you connect your scale to the Gaggiuino too? I noticed that the screen on the Gaggiuino had weight readings as well.
no scale. just use a thin scale and a shot glass
thumbs up! Much interesting~~ 💞 🙏 👋 ✌ 👍 ❤️.You are genius!
Thanks for the view btw.
Great video! I‘m thinking about doing this project. A few questions: why is the temperature at around 110°C at the end? Why does it say 52 grams or so when you only measured 42 grams or so? How does the system measure the output weight?
the boiler heats a lot through the shot to compensate for temp loss through group head. The system needs to be calibrated for the water dispensed before it reads accurately. The system is estimating the water dispensed based on the signals it sends to the water pump. Different beans, grinds, and other factors like humidity result in different amounts of backpressure and flow characteristics which affect how much water is sent through the group head in a given amount of time with the same power output from the pump. You need to adjust this setting in the system when you use different beans/different grind. Also make sure to watch a different video. Some of the schematics are now different than when i made the video,
@@beebles2499 that heat compensation thing sounds vastly inferior compared to pre heated brew groups..?
So the output estimation can’t be used for a closed loop profile? Would that be possible with scales?
Cool..
Great vid I’m thinking off adding this mod to my Silvia. What’s your thoughts?
There are instructions in the gaggiuino discord on doing this mod to a silvia. go for it!
Good job! Doesn't look like the case fits, i would love to see you finishing it up and closing the lid etc. I'm also lost as to what is the syrup you put in the coffee you animal! Kidding! You do you......
I'm a purist. No syrup for me but wife loves agave+maple. we also made some lavender honey syrup that was so good.
Nice! One question: how was the coffee?
total shit
@@beebles2499 LOL
@@beebles2499 is it better now?
Nice. About to embark on this myself and really helpful to see a recent build.
Also your latte art is as bad as mine...😉 Really not into this for the look 😅
Good old fashioned TH-cam vid. Guy does a thing. 👍
When you're testing for the first time, are you just using a standard USB C cable hooked up to the wall?
USB C to computer
Very cool project, Boomer Sooner!
Would mind sharing the full video without being timelapsed? Would be very appreciated.
Thank you for sharing the build process! I was wondering - is it possible to export the graphs of the flow profiles?
Unfortunately not :(
Are u following the nano guide though or is there a stm guide I’m not seeing? This is day 2 of my research so excuse the newness if the question. A lot of info to process and organize in my head lol. I build fpv drones so I figure I can build this too eventually once I understand the process.
I followed a hodge podge of guides because the docs werent written for straight to stm but there are new docs in development. check out the documentation channel on the discord.
Man I love my Gaggiuino. Going to try adding the hw scales soon (because a man needs to suffer). Do you plan on adding scales?
The parts are in the mail!
@@beebles2499 build video when? 😬
@@TheGroundedCoffee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the video. I really want to do it and I am considering either Shades PID or going all out with the Gaggiuino. I don't solder though and it seems quite daunting. You're not in Northern VA by any chance, are you? I also love how the Gaggia now sounds like an old moped being started.
Ha yeah I love the sound too. Not located in VA. Definitely recommend Gaggiuino because the feature list is a lot longer. I had never soldered wires before either. With the right TH-cam videos (check the description), its totally doable without prior experience! Make sure to get a multimeter and test continuity on your board once you are done soldering. Takes just a couple minutes and can save you lots of troubleshooting later.
@@beebles2499 Thank you for the encouragement! I really need it, haha. How about steaming? Does the Gaggiuino help with that? I mostly drink my espresso in latte's.
@@termin8d The steam is where i noticed the biggest difference. I actually have to slowly increase steam when im texturing milk because its so powerful.
You should consider the PCB version. I'm currently registered on the next group buy as I just missed the last one.
@@vialb2 Where is the group buy?
Great video! Did you have to extend the screen wires in order to feed from the enclosure? Because they're pretty short.
Yes I did. I ended up having to do it twice which was not ideal
@@beebles2499 ah i see. Cheers.
at 3:45 how exactly is it better to cut this line? Is it better to do with a soldering iron or just something sharp?
Knife or dremel is best. Soldering Iron might burn through board.
What it does is allow you to build a Decent machine for like 1/10th the cost....
is thr any easier way , this look so difficult for someone with little to no knowledge of pcbs and soltering , is thr any plug and play option for Gaggiuino ?
Really appreciate this video. Got my gcp and almost ready to press buy for the parts but i noticed the snubber is not on the bom.
Searched the discord and i cant determine whether its needed and then if more than one is needed.
Would u happen to know?
I would definitely opt for using it. it will extend the life of your relay
Nice
Thanks!
temperature just seems to run away during a shot
that would be my bad. still dialing in everything. you can set whether or not you want the machine to continue heating through pre-infusion to account for the temp drop when new water hits the boiler.
ohhhh yeah that might be a thing for sure, lotsa heating when no water moving lol
Hi Friend, how you connected the dimmer to the pump? in the video I see two black wires and two red wires coming out of the dimmer (the dimmer has only 3 ports). So I'm a bit confused.
Hey James. Actually with the new software updates the wiring has changed to the dimmer and the relay. Please see this link for details. gaggiuino.github.io/#/guides-upgrade/lego-independent-relay-dimmer
Does that mod works with Gaggia Classics from before 2015 or just the new pro models?
the mod works on both. the gaggiuino components are the same but the wiring to the machine and install is different. check the documentation for details. there are also separate channels in the discord.
how are the components mounted to the lego housing, just fit inside the grooves?
most have screws that hold them down. some just fit into grooves
🥰👍
Looking to do something similar to my Rancilio
There is a silvia mod I believe within the gaggiuino project if you havent already seen it
Is there a way to buy a prebuilt Gaggiuino in the US? I couldn't find any info on their Discord. Thanks!
There is no official way to buy a pre-built one and you will get banned from the discord if you ask. Im sure someone would be willing to do it for a reasonable fee
@@beebles2499 Thanks for the info
Hey thanks for the vid, do you know if we have to order different components for the EU?
if you have the eco variant then i think the materials are the same but the install procedure is slightly different
@@beebles2499
Oh ok, is your version slightly different then?
@@azza2575 Yes. The US version does not have an auto-shutoff.
What gauge wire did you use for the AC side of the 12v PSU?
18gauge
The strip board isn't on the bill of materials, where did you buy yours from?
www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832661583259.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.23.21ef1802cTXHM6&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US
@@beebles2499 how did you fit the wire through the holes? I have the same diameter holes and my 26 gauge wire is too thick to get through...
@@digdug0072 I tinned the wires and then clipped them down with find wire cutters to a point. I poked that through and then soldered. This is fine on the 5v/ground stripboard but on the components make sure you get the wire all the way through so you dont have a short
Long shot but would you consider charging a fee to mod mine ??
dm me
Is this the same housing that is available on the github page link?
Yes it is.
Where did you get the 3D printed components?
www.accelerate3d.com/
Bro while u are brewing, ardunio reading 101degree, why?
THe boiler gets actually above 100C and there is heat loss when new water gets pumped in so the machine compensates by bringing the boiler temp above the goal temp so that when the main infusion starts, the water is at the right temperature.
What WDT tool do you use?
I use one from aliexpress but dont love it. i recommend this one for budget www.etsy.com/listing/1460083326/wdt-tool-rotating-gears-espresso-stirrer?gpla=1&gao=1&&CjwKCAjwkeqkBhAnEiwA5U-uM5ODsmleEJL8tyCVtovAnNieQ_HUXFqFc5V7PVMyEem9AKjmFBieuhoCpKoQAvD_BwE_k_&gclid=CjwKCAjwkeqkBhAnEiwA5U-uM5ODsmleEJL8tyCVtovAnNieQ_HUXFqFc5V7PVMyEem9AKjmFBieuhoCpKoQAvD_BwE
Hey where can i find the pre wired system?
Hey Frank, check out the discord in the PCB channel
No sponsor spot from JL-PCB...?
Very cool. You should wipe out the shower screen after a shot.
I usually just flush it since i use a puck screen.
Such a cringe comment… the man can build a gaggiuino mod and understands what the features do for the espresso process at that level of understanding…and u really think he needs to be told to wipe the shower screen?!… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😝 come on man, don’t back seat quarter back people who aren’t new.
