    Hi nujjer, "Acc" means accelerometer which is a gyroscope error. How do your solders look on the GY-521? Can you replace the GY-521?

    iSpindel - Can't connect to Wifi AP

    Awesome sauce. Thanks for your hard work. I too had noticed that there are errors about config file corruption upon first boot that go away after saving the configuration page on the AP. Glad this resolved the issue :)

    It looks like your issue is similar to the one in the link below. Yeah, sounds like a bad gyro somehow. https://github.com/universam1/iSpindel/issues/345

    Check out my video on calibrating to 25 degrees in pure water. Cheers and Happy Fermenting!

    Hey Javajoe, Thanks for your kind words. Are you able to hook up the D1 mini to a serial monitor via USB cable? It should offer some insight into what's going on. I think I'll do a video on how to do this in the future.

    Yes, you can use anything metal on the reset pins. I usually just grab a regular old pen :) Or forceps, or screwdriver, or butter knife, or whatever! This is useful to reset the iSpindel and also to put it into configuration mode as you don't want to disturb the internal components after...

    Hey @Wild7s Can I use the pics of the weights you added to your PCB 4.0 in an upcoming video? I'm making a video about balancing iSpindels to 25 degrees in pure water. I used a different method than you for the PCB 4.0 but would like to reference your method as well. I'll give you shout...

    Got it! Thanks! My 4.0 PCBs also float at about 16 degrees in water. I see that your weight is 'floating' inside the petling. I never thought of that as an option. Good job. If it works it works, no need to be fancy about it. The problem I kept having was that there wasn't a good place to...

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    I never thought about calibrating and the lip on one side of the petling. I don't know what's better... I suppose that it would be 'flatter' with just the tube portion touching. I'll need to think more about this. Are you able to post a pic or email me a pic ([email protected]) of the...

    Here is a link to the iSpindel FAQ page. The first entry talks about 25 degrees in water. http://www.ispindel.de/docs/FAQ-en.html

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    What board are you using? The PCB 4.0? The Jeffrey? Or something else? The general consensus is that you must get to 20 to 30 degrees in pure water, preferably 25 degrees... after offset calibration. The Jeffrey has a movable battery to fine-tune the tilt in pure water (it also has places to...

    Have you tried blanking out both addresses as shown at the bottom of the page linked below? Do you have a serial monitor output you can share? https://www.opensourcedistilling.com/ispindel-firmware-flash/

    I built an iSpindel circuit board and I'm looking for feedback on how to make it even better. Also, iSpindel GIVEAWAY!
