No problem, thanks for confirming.

I'm successfully running on 4.1 but have this warning shown briefly when the page loads. I'm not using any gravity device, is it related and can I turn it off? Cheers

@DuncB Yep, I started with the STC1000 too, seems to be natural progression :D I still use an STC on my beer fridge. @pocketmon I thought it may have been the browser on my phone but it's the same on the PC. I've got more than 1 ESP8266 so I'm about to step back through the versions to see when...

Thanks for the reply. Follows what I've been reading on Git about the ESP32. I've just retired a Pi Zero W Fermentrack build as it's no longer supported, and with RPIs in very short supply I'm revisiting this project. I'll be more than happy to stick with an ESP8266. Maybe this is not an...

Are you running the latest Brewpiless on that CH340? EDIT: Looks like I was getting confused with the D1 R2 Arduino on Git ! :agressive:

PSU is good, I'm using the official RPI PSU. Doing some more searching, I've been looking at the WROOM ESP32 as a step up from the D1 mini...

The best visual I used for building on the bench was this:Schematic But using the Fermentrack pinouts for the ESP8266 here:Pinouts Then power the ESP8266 using micro USB. My build was just this, no shield or breakout board.

I've flashed the latest bin to a Wemos D1 Mini and quickly realised it wasn't playing nice. I then noticed on Git there is an issue open and that a board with a larger flash is recommended. So... what is the recommended board to use with the latest firmware? D1 Mini Pro or some other ESP32...

@Thorrak there is another minor interface bug to report. I have gravity support disabled but when I change a setting on the settings page the gravity support defaults back to enabled. Actually the only way to disable gravity support it from within the 'full' Django settings page. Thanks!

@phreaky I had this issue, disconnecting and reconnecting within the same second, and a new power supply sorted it. I think the sensors are a bit sensitive to a bad power supply. @Jerrydfl When you power up the ESP use your phone to scan for WiFi networks and you should see the ESP as a...

I believe the default delay is 10 min.

I did try this 8A SSR board but couldn't get it to switch off after the ESP switched it on :-/ https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113592854365

Tony, once you flash the ESP with the WiFi firmware it will act as an Access Point and broadcast a SSID. You need to connect to this SSID using a mobile phone (for example) and then enter your router WiFi credentials into the ESP. This will then disconnect your mobile phone from the ESP and the...

Cheers, I must say after getting the LCD reset code in the right place I haven't had any more LCD screen scramble issues. This has lessened my haste to install the fancy screen (and I've got to make a bezel for it!). I've got a brew fermenting right now but my plan is to take Thorrak's latest...

Wiring is very similar to Brewpiless. Just follow the pinouts here for Fermentrack: https://github.com/thorrak/brewpi-esp8266/blob/master/README.md Then use a usb cable from ESP to Pi if running in serial mode.
