I have just noticed that a new version V1.2 has appeared on the site, which seems to suggest it addresses the wifi issue.

I unfortunately managed to snap the socket off from the repeatidor, when trying to plug it into my USB to update it, so for now it has to wait until I have the patience to try to resolder it back in place. I ought to have run some hot glue around the socket to help support it, before this - it...

Too be honest, I don't know what the version number I installed was - I have since bought myself a new laptop and my new one does not have a copy of the fimrware on it, to be able to check which version I installed. Thanks, I will try installing that 1.1 version and test again.

Have you a URL for the repeater updated firmware? I don't think it's a memory issue (bootloop), because it ran continuously in my dry run much longer than my actual brew takes. I have never seen the blue LED remain on in my iSpindel. I don't think it is a network access problem, because even...

Repeatidor + iSpindel - loss of reports.. I heard a hint of a suggested update for one or the other, which fixes the issue, but failed to make a note of it. Ispindel worked fine reporting direct to my router, never problem. I then built a repeatidor, tested it, it seemed OK and gave me more...

I'm at a loss to explain my earlier problems with my iSpindel and Repeater. After it stopped reporting towards the end of the fermentation in my last batch of wine, I gave the iSpindle a full charge then just set it running again, recording and sat on a shelf. It took a few attempts to get it...

The same here - one edge of the cap just below the surface, but I have never suffered any ingress.

Hope you used lead free solder, when you built it. :)

Yes, it has it's own allocated IP on my LAN. I only wanted the repeater for logging, I have no need for temperature control - I already control that separately, so I cannot help you there. And it's still on test / still working - I'm beginning to think I need to power iSpindel and repeater up in...

Just to update - The iSpindel + repeater on soak test are still working and reporting 48 hours later.

I updated the iSpindel months ago it has been used many times since and just the two lockups/crashes. They are still on test at my side at the moment. It stopped reporting numerous times, but eventually began working normally again and has continued to do so, every ten minutes, for the past...

Mmm - I have both iSpindle and repeater next to me, in my eyeline, so I can try see what is happening. It logged three readings in succession just fine, then for the following two flashes of the LED, the iSpindel did a reboot. The repeater display went off, came back on and showed it rebooting.

I have now have an issue with my iSpindel and/or Repeatador. Can someone tell me which is getting stuck in a loop please? A bit more about my example..... It was my first fermentation using the repeater with the iSpindel, it worked absolutely fine for 7 days of storing and reporting, before it...

I don't think that using standard ready to use electronic modules, the size can be reduced. The small PET is a perfect size to house what we have, the only way to make it smaller would be to use custom electronics, which would be very expensive.

A couple of possible points on battery life... 1. There are lots of fake 18650 batteries around, they need to be sourced from reliable sources. In the UK, I bought my 3400mAh from Torchy. 2. When running, there should only be an occasional flash from the iSpindel at the time it transmits a...
