Always have a spare heating Infrared tube https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006418052064.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt at hand incase of failure; lasts around 6 months of regular weekly use, and costs around £18 to replace!
Avoid using the filter housing, because it can drip moisture inside the rear of the unit, and onto electronics.

for those who have V2 with Bluetooth issues, go here to download the .aset file https://www.akimitacoffeeroaster.com/site-page/89abba7251934b13.html

for Skywalker delta. Run Artisan and load that file instead of selecting any other roaster. Turn in roaster, turn on Bluetooth using the roaster tablet, then you should be able to control from Artisan.

CoffeeLad

V1 can be remotely controlled with the Android Hibean app (similar to Artisan software/firmware) with a smartphone/tablet.

Purchase either a preloaded USB Bluetooth module for £48.00 and plug into the roaster and connect up with the app or purchase a blank ESP32-S3-Zero board (£8) and then load it with Hibean firmware.

here's how:
