We are excited to announce our latest application update, which includes some great new features and improvements to the performance and stability of the app.
Windows users may have already been updated to version 1.7 through the Microsoft Store, Mac users can use a pre-release (still being tested) version located at the downloads page (linked below).
What's new in this release?
Roast Replay
This new feature automates machine adjustments during the roasting process. By selecting a previous roast, the app will automatically adjust fuel, fan, and drum settings for you. Note that this feature is currently in beta and available by invitation only until our case testing is finished. Learn more about machine compatibility in the Help Center article 'Is my roaster Roast Replay ready?'.
Preheat Chart
Digital roasters will now see a preheat chart in the notebook displaying Drum Temperature and the heat cycle count. This enables users to track the latent heat of their machines and dial in their between-batch protocol.
Drum Temp
If your roasting machine supports it, the drum temperature will now be displayed on the chart and timer. Additionally, you can charge off of the drum temperature instead of bean temperature.
Phidgets on Mac
This update expands the support for Phidgets on Mac that we introduced in version 1.6.
Bug Fixes/Performance Enhancements
We've made various improvements to increase the stability and performance of the app.
Expanded Roaster Configurations
All known Phidget equipped and MODBUS RTU enabled roaster models from any manufacturer are being added to RoastPATH’s machine library. Request integration of your machine by emailing support@roastpath.com.
Downloads Page
We have created a downloads page where you can find both the Mac and PC versions of the app. This way, if we publish a new version that doesn't interact with your computer well, you will be able to go here and install the previous version that was working for you last. We recommend uninstalling the app before installing a new version to ensure the best possible experience.
Latest version 1.7.1412 can be found here by clicking the drop down "Show Other Releases"
