Acaia / Felicita Scale Gateway using the ArduinoBLE library for devices such as the esp32, arduino nano esp32, and arduino nano iot 33. This is an Arduino Library which can be found in the Arduino IDE Library Manager.
Tested on:
- MicroControllers:
- Arduino Nano ESP32
- Nano 33 IoT
- ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N4
- Scales:
- Acaia Pyxis v1.0.022
- Acaia Lunar Pre-2021 v2.6.019
- Acaia Lunar 2021 v1.0.016*
- Acaia Pearl S 1.0.056
- Espresso Machines:
- La Marzocco Linea Mini
- Linea Micra
- La Marzocco GS3
- Rancilio Silvia Pro
- Stone Espresso
...using Arduino IDE 2.3.2 and ArduinoBLE 1.3.6
*There is a bug in the firmware for a handful of 2021 Lunars that make this incompatible. The best way to determine if your scale has this bug, is to scan for bluetooth devices with your phone. If you see a device named "ACAIAL..." instead of "LUNAR...", this scale is unfortunately incompatible at this time.
This library is intended to be used with any arduino device which is compatible with the ArduinoBLE library.
As of version V2.0.0, non-volatile storage for the setpoint and offset is only available for ESP32-based devices.
The included "shotStopper" example code uses the ShotStopper PCB to make it simple to control your espresso machine using the scale. Files are hosted on altium 365.

The following variables at the top of the shotStopper.ino file can be configured by the user:
MOMENTARY
- true for momentary switches such as GS3 AV, Rancilio Silvia Pro, Breville, etc.
- false for latching switches such as Linea Mini/Micra, etc.
REEDSWITCH
- true if a reed switch on the brew solenoid is being used to determine the brew state. This is typically not necessary so set to FALSE by default. This feature is only available for non-momentary-switches.
AUTOTARE
- true by default. The scale will automatically tare when the shot is started, and, if MOMENTARY is false, will perform another tare at 3 seconds to notify the user that the switch is latched and should be returned to the home position.
- if set to false, the shotStopper will never send a tare command. It is the user's responsibility to tare before each shot. This may be helpful if the scale is not stable when the shot begins, and thus the scale is unable to tare reliably.

- Tare command is less reliable than pressing the tare button.
- Only supports grams.
This is largely a basic port of the LunarGateway library written for the ESP32.
In addition to some minor notes from pyacaia library written for raspberryPI.
