📣 Community Debut: Start Connecting Today
- The official HiBean Community is live with an MVP feature set, offering a lightweight space to publish roasting curves, document notes, and showcase your work.
- This first release focuses on browsing and posting. Additional interaction features will be added based on testing feedback.
- Share your first posts and suggestions—your input helps shape the future of HiBean’s roasting community.
🙋 Profile Upgrades to Support the Community
- Update your display name and upload a custom avatar directly inside the app so your identity appears instantly across community surfaces.
- A consistent profile helps others recognize you faster and makes it easier to follow conversation threads.
- When uploading an avatar for the first time, keep your network connection stable to ensure successful sync.
🔒 Drum Roaster Safety (App Feature)
- A new “Drum Overheat Protection” toggle is available in the app (on by default; we recommend leaving it on). When the drum temperature rises too high, the system automatically spins the drum to reduce risk.
- You may disable the feature manually, but keeping it enabled delivers more reliable safety during regular roasting sessions.
- The protection logic runs entirely in the app—no firmware update is required.
⚙️ HiBean Mod for Skywalker Firmware Enhancements (Beta Channel)
These features require firmware v1.1.1 (beta) or later plus the “Firmware Beta Channel” option enabled under Settings > Developer Options. Please proceed only if you understand the risks of testing firmware builds.
- Cool Down Whole Machine: After roasting, trigger the command once inside the app and the firmware continues the cooldown sequence even if you close the app—no more waiting around.
- Error code detection: The firmware now reports critical error codes to speed up troubleshooting:
E0: The control module failed to connect to peripheral components.E1: Temperature probe error (sensor failure or connection issue).E2: Over-temperature detected (above 250 °C).E3: Drum malfunction or drive failure.
- The firmware remains in testing. Please report anomalies through the official feedback channels.
💻 Mac Client Open Test
- The Mac desktop client is available as a public test build, designed for scenarios that benefit from a large screen and physical keyboard/mouse control.
- The interface has been reorganized for desktop workflows with clearer navigation and data displays. Multi-window support is not available yet; future updates will depend on feedback.
- Share your experience via the designated feedback form or community thread to help us polish the final release.
⚠️ Upgrade & Testing Notes
- v1.3.0 is an early access release; behavior and coverage may change rapidly. Keep an eye on community announcements for the latest updates.
- If you plan to try the Skywalker firmware beta features, back up important data first and review the rollback steps.
- We will continue iterating based on community posts and feedback submissions—thank you for helping shape HiBean v1.3.0.
