Access fermentation temperatures from any device on the same network without disturbing the brew, and integrate with SCADA or home automation tools for logging and alerts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll construct a custom PCB that integrates an ESP32, MAX485 RS485 transceiver, and two waterproof DS18B20 probes to read fermentation temperatures in real time. The firmware bridges the Modbus RTU protocol to Modbus TCP, so any system that speaks Modbus can poll the temperature registers. The 0.96-inch OLED display provides local readings, while the Modbus TCP server lets you log data or trigger alerts remotely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImplement Modbus RTU master using MAX485 and ESP32 hardware serial\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet up a Modbus TCP server on ESP32 to serve temperature registers over Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolder components on prototype PCB and troubleshoot RS485 bus termination and biasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCalibrate multiple DS18B20 sensors and handle multi-drop RS485 bus addressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESP32 Dev Board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ex1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMAX485 RS485\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ex1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDS18B20 Probe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ex2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.96in OLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ex1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120?
