    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I really like GravityMon as well, definitely better for my use case. And apologies, I definitely hadn't understood your query completely. I am aware that supported services handle the iSpindel data differently however. Fermentrack for example only uses the angle and disregards the SG and...

    Ah, jquery, yes that is the other one I couldn't remember. Makes sense, thanks. When I enable these, it works fine in firefox.

    If you calibrated at 20C and then measure at 24C, the change in water density alone will cause an uncorrected device (e.g., hydrometer, iSpindel without temp correction working) to read ~1C low. As the temp in water increases, the density decreases so a hydrometer will sink a bit more (lower...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I use Firefox with ad and popup blockers. I just have to allow jsdelivr.net plus another similar service I forget (and of course the iSpindel IP address) and it works fine. It is probably a default security feature in Firefox or a plugin like one of the ones I use. I'm away from my brewery...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Pushed {gravity}, {gravity-SG}, and {corr-gravity-SG} to BrewBlox. iSpindel configured to SG with temp correction enabled. {gravity} and {gravity-SG} read the same, {corr-gravity-SG} result is temp corrected. Because I want the option of displaying either (or both) SG and Plato, I haven't...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I assumed the temperature corrected gravity would be sent with the key ${corr-gravity-sg} so I pushed both that and ${gravity-sg} to BrewBlox and displayed them on a graph. ${corr-gravity-sg} did supply the temperature corrected value based on the ${gravity-sg} and temp values sent. I double...

    With the temperature correction equation, if you made the 'cal' variable user configurable and added it as a setting (next to the check box with a default of 20C maybe?), the equation would work with any calibration temperature. The iSpindel instructions do say to calibrate at 20C (68F) but...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Temperature correction appears to be working fine. I still didn't see any correction in configuration mode after adding the corrected SG and Plato fields to the format and pressing test but I do see it in BrewBlox with it in gravity monitoring mode and the result is the same as my spreadsheet...

    Thanks, I'll install it and let you know how it goes.

    I see I called the TP4056 a TP5060 above - oops. Corrected.

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    It is extremely flexible with the features you have included already and I know you intend to improve it as much as you can (given the hardware limitations) which is a bonus. I can't think of anything I'd personally like you to add now the push to BrewBlox is working. The temperature corrected...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Agreed. What I meant is it appears the battery voltage (as detected by the firmware) will only reach the high voltage cutoff at (or near) the end of the charge cycle so being connected to a charger isn't detected by the firmware until that point is reached. If the purpose is to go into...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Did some testing with the TP4056. The battery voltage reading will be whatever the battery is at as it charges and will slowly increase up to the supply voltage (~4.2V) per the charging profile of the 4056. In the situation where the battery is removed and the unit powered through the charging...

    Another small thing I've been meaning to mention. The first time I set up the wifi, I selected the first SSID to configure from the list, configured the password, then clicked in the second SSID field and repeated. When I had difficulty accessing (the second SSID had very poor connection from...

    Great idea, hadn't thought of that.
