Laying the Groundwork
Recent work has focused on strengthening the foundations before wiring and first power up.
BrewTrak is not a working prototype yet, but it is moving deliberately toward one.
Board Profiles Defined
Board profiles can now be exported from BrewTrak Core as TXT and PDF files.
Pin mapping and harness labelling are now system defined rather than informal. This locks in the hardware contract before anything is powered.
Device Claiming Structured
Controllers must now declare their identity and use case when claimed, with that role stored in the database.
This prevents loose device behaviour and prepares the system for future modular expansion.
Discovery Hardened
mDNS handling, IPv4 resolution, static IP fallback support, and Docker networking have all been tightened to improve provisioning reliability.
Firmware Maturing
The firmware has moved into a structured ESP IDF project with defined build configuration, partitions, persistent storage, and organised debug layers.
It is not complete, but it is no longer experimental.
Next Steps
Panel wiring begins.
GPIO mapping will be validated against physical inputs.
The control state machine will be tested under real conditions.
Heating logic will move closer to live validation.
