I feel like a complete idiot. It is all working and all I had to do was turn the trim pot to adjust LCD contrast. Now off to Fusion to build an enclosure. At least my Fusion skills have improved even if everything else has gone to hell in a handbasket.

I have dusted this project off the workbench ADHD style. I got to the proof-of-concept stage before and just did not proceed any further because I don't brew as often as I like and the STC1000+ works well. Now I CBF pressing buttons and really would like to get this working I have used Esp8226...

Yes, I used a plain D1 Mini for the hub. The fridge is outside on the back patio. The iSpindel hub in is in the same room as the router. Total distance is about 10ft to either. Seems like is a repeater with the antenna is to be used I might as well just use the iSpindel with the Mini Pro already...

I have put the iSpindel into its 1st Brew. It doesn't connect very well to the iSpindel Hub. If I leave the fridge door open it connects up. If the door is closed it is very sporadic. The Wemos mini are not the pro with the external antenna. I do have an iSpindel that does have a mini pro...

I put the soldering iron back on the D0 pin to re-melt the solder. This seems to have fixed it. I have now calibrated both ISpindel units and both communicate with the hub. I will do a brew next weekend to try it all out.

Looks like a defective iSpindel unit. I'll have to check the soldering.

Yes, it can connect. It connects once when turned on, but never again after that. It's almost like it doesn't get out of sleep mode. I am trying now with a different ispindel unit. It connected straight away. I will see what happens while I am out for dinner.

I have used the 1.4 tft connected directly to the esp8226 (d1 mini). I can get it to connect once, but then nothing updates. The iSpindel is set to report every 900s. This isn't happening as the screen and log never update. I left it ovenight last night and there was just one entry. I did some...

My brewpiless has sat 3/4 done fir years because I was never happy with the 240 to 5v conversion safety wise. I stumbled upon this recently. https://www.mashtobrew.com.au/product/brewpiless-assembled/

I wanted to make sure the flash worked, because I have a bunch of boards used at school in STEM classes, I am not 100% sure they are all operational. That along with an over-supply of non-data cables (now all in the bin) and well used faulty data cables too, have caused headaches all afternoon...

Or maybe I'm an idiot and remembering badly....

I have uploaded the iSpindel firmware but failing to get an access point. It's been a while so my memory might be foggy. I used to be able to upload the firmware and access 194.168.4.1 even with nothing connected. I have tried flashing different versions on several esp8226 board. Each time I...

I am using the iSpindel with my grade 10 science class as a STEM project. Below is one that one of the group's built. They redesigned a sled so it fits the xxl petling properly.

I am in Australia. The offer is appreciated, but it's too far to post them. :)

I have had 1 built for a while now and just hadn't done a brew for ages. Now I have a brew on, I am getting motivated to calibrate it and get it working properly. I am hoping to integrate it into BPL and I am getting the final parts I need to finish that project too. I guess my STC1000+ has...
