Artisan v3.4

Another significant update for Artisan in terms of features and technical advances.

Button Layouts and Hidden Buttons

 

Configurable event buttons have been a feature of Artisan since version 0.5.0 way back in 2011.  Button configurations defined in 2011 still work in the latest Artisan versions in 2025. 

This article discusses button layouts and how hidden buttons can be used as spacers and for performing actions. A best practice for configuring hidden action buttons is described. Information is provided about how a recent change might, under certain conditions, affect the visual appearance of pre-existing button layouts and how to correct them. 

Artisan v3.1.2

 

Initially planned as a minor release to address a few specific issues that has been reported, things took an unexpected turn. In the end, we added several useful features to our so-called "free-but-limited approach."

Using an Energy Meter to Measure Roast Machine Energy Consumption with Artisan

 

Artisan version 3.1.2 allows connecting energy meters to log precise measurements of energy consumption.  Artisan can connect to one or two meters simultaneously allowing measurement of gas energy consumption and/or electricity energy consumption.  This allows the roasting operation to accurately monitor and report on its energy use and carbon footprint. 

Artisan v3.1

Artisan v3.1 comes with renewed Bluetooth and MODBUS infrastructure and adds quite some additional device and machine support.

Artisan v3.0.0

 Artisan 3.0 adds roast scheduling support and advanced summary statistics.

Artisan v2.10.2

We have again updated the best roasting software you cannot buy! To ease the path for Mill-City-Roaster owners to Artisan we added support for all of their machines. This version also extends the support for IKAWA roasters supporting their latest addition, the PRO 100 X, and simplifies the connection to Aillio Bullet R1 machines on Windows removing the requirement of an alternative USB driver installation.
