oCBot · Instead of soldering and code
DIY still and brew controller: a ready board and firmware
Buy a ready board, install the firmware, wire your sensors: no soldering, no code.
- The ESP32 board comes ready: DIN rail, inputs and outputs, nothing to solder.
- Sensors, valves and heating elements are added in the control panel, not in code.
- Scripts combine into a scenario for your process.
28 peripheral types and 15 basic scripts are already in the firmware. Boards: KC868-A6, KC868-A16.
This is not a soldering kit: you buy the board separately, from the KinCony store. The firmware without scenarios is free; scenarios need a licence from $50, paid once.

Common questions
Do I have to solder anything?
Not the board: it comes ready and mounts on a DIN rail. You wire sensors, valves and heating elements to its inputs and outputs.
Which board should I buy?
The KC868-A16 gives you the most inputs and outputs; the KC868-A6 adds PWM outputs for smooth heating and pumps. Take the ESP32 (WROOM-32) version: the firmware does not support ESP32-S3 versions yet.
Will it run on an Arduino or my own board?
oCBot does not run on an Arduino: the firmware is written for ESP32. We connect your own ESP32 board as a service: we describe its ports and buses and build the firmware for it.
