    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Cheers @Thorrak, Would it be easier to set up an autoupdating chart option, or a button to reload the chart on demand (or repurpose double click to load the new chart data)? Then the visibility status of each line should be retained (I think). I've been playing round with dygraphs for a bit...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Hi all, great app @Thorrak The guys at my home brew club were talking about it last week and raving and, as I've had the last few days sick from work I thought I'd give it a spin. I've been running brewpi with arduino for years and it has been great and very reliable but the lack of any future...

    I'm running 5.12 (I think) and it outputs many many decimals

    I use the one linked on thingiverse. It will work with the standard parts list easily and fit a wider variety of tubes. you can hot glue weights if required. The one with the huzzah feather will only work with that style board. That board has an integrated battery charger and has completely...

    I add a 100k resistor between A0 and source so that makes it 100/(100+220+100)

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    I use a 100k resistor between A0 and Vbat. This gives me a nice 100k/420k voltage divider to use with the Li-ion battery voltage of 4.2V. The symmetry suits my anal retentiveness well. Although this is different to the standard design having the ability to change the battery conversion factor...

    Well, 3D hubs is all down to the individual with the printer. I had a few to choose from but ended up with the one closest to work so I could pick up easily. Turned out fine. I'd be interested to see your sled. My mods were due to a different charging module.

    I used 3D hubs to print a couple of sleds and it was AUD$14 for two of them. The guy did a great job but I still had to take to them with a file to get them in the tube. This was for a custom designed sled which, with the benefit of hindsight, has been customised further. I'm currently using a...

    My tests today work with the diode cathode (ring) at D0. This is with a wemos flashed with iSPindel 5.12 and only temperature sensor connector. The power is supplied direct by USB. It did not work when the cathode was at the RST end. It may not have the same result when using a battery as...

    I'm not sure this advice is right, According to the link you gave The RST pin is held at a HIGH signal while the ESP8266 is running. However, when the RST pin receives a LOW signal, it restarts the microcontroller. Once your device is in Deep-sleep, it will send a LOW signal to GPIO 16...

    I found with the gyro led still on that I could get ~14 days from a 2200 battery with 15 minute updates. I assume that if I change the 15 minutes to 30 minutes I would be looking at 20+ days lifetime from that battery

    I'm too not worried about that. The shield largely replaces the protoboard so I am not gaining much size.
