You might have a connection issue with it being inside a conical. If the ispindel lost connectivity with your wifi and cant communicate to you pi, cbp will continue to output the last known measurement. This appears as a straight line when you look at the chart. It will do this for each...

I have another 1 available if anyone is interested.

Calibration can be done a number of ways. It is documented on the iSpindel github. Some people will calibrate using sugar and water and some calibrate during fermentation. The values are recorded (gravity and angle of device) and logged into a spreadsheet that will give you a polynomial. You...

Great! Glad you were able to solve this. The CBPI/ spindel combo is pretty sweet. I have mine controlling the fermentation chamber (freezer) instead of using a thermowell. Battery last long enough with 2min updates from the ispindel.

This is well above my understanding of networking. From what I understand the plugin gathers the data that has been sent to CBPI by HTTP request. If the pi isnt responding there might be something in the server (Apache?) that is blocking rhe request.

If you're up to it. I found this issue that sounds similar to yours. They used strace to make sure the ispindel was sending data to CBPI. Looks like it never got resolved. https://github.com/Manuel83/craftbeerpi3/issues/135

This may be a long shot but when i first set up my CBPI I couldn't connect to the pi from certain devices. Long story short I had the incorrect subnet mask on the pi when I set it up for a static ip. On the pi if you run ifconfig from a terminal it will show you the subnet mask it is set to. It...

Also, make sure you put a value for the refresh interval. i have mine set to 30

OK i think i recreated your issue on my system. I set up an ispindel with the exact same settings that you have. I got a 0 temp even after the ispindel updated a few times. I then added the word "tilt" (without quotes) to the polynomial and it started working. Give that a shot and see if it works.

If you want you can try using the iSpindel plugin that i am using. i slightly modified the one that you are using to allow an update interval. This allows the updates to happen every x sec and not build a crazy large log file for the sensor. The file lives in the folder...

Well its working with brewspy so we know its sending data from the ispindel. Lets take a look at the CBPI side. 1. When you make a temp sensor in CBPI did it show up in your logs? 2. Have you tried making a gravity sensor in CBPI? If not lets try that and for the poly just put "tilt" without...

It maybe a dumb question but according to that URL you are naming your ispindel "iSpindel1". Did you also update CBPI with that name under the ispindel plugin?

Do you have a laptop you can try it on?

I see. With my phone, with the spindel in AP mode and light blinking, I go to the WIFI settings and connect to the ispindel network. I then open a browser and go to 192.168.4.1. I suspect that either the CBPI IP or port is not correctly being saved in the ispindel. I had this issue with the...

Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant to copy and paste the url of that page in this thread. Here is a pic of what I mean.
