    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    @MBASILE In your schematic you have the red/black battery connection flipped from what I see on the Huzzah Feather pin out sheet. By flipping the red/black on the Huzzah I was able to turn it on and flash the newest firmware. Still no power to the MPU but still trying to figure it out

    Brewometer kickstarter thoughts - digital bluetooth hydrometer

    The beer has been done for weeks and I had the tilt for a few days just checking via my phone the SG was very stable. I only started recording via the spreadsheet and the tablet when I added​ the 4oz for dry hopping, I just checked right now and the tilt unit is bumping against the bag.
