    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    ok, so looking at the angles it looks like its so far off so maybe I just stuffed up the calibration. Unless someone can come up with another answer.

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Hi, when calibrating the ispindel am I supposed to have an equation in the ispindel setup page? I did the guided calibration with a somewhat correct formula in the ispindel setup. I have a beer ready to go with its gravity at 1.074. When I put the ispindel in it reads 1.124. If I put the formula...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Haven't had a chance yet. I got it working with brewpi and just finished brewing so about to take it in its maiden voyage. Fingers crossed Will hopefully get around to it once this beers finished!

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Hey thanks so much for the last few replies. Sorry, its probably really painful dealing with someone who has no previous coding/electronics experience but your more detailed guidance really helped. I was trying to do my due diligence with finding my answers myself but couldn't get anywhere. Ill...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    ok so i was doing some reading on the github and from what I can tell I need to use the NodeMCU flasher to almost preprepare the board before going into platformIO and flashing the board? So just use the bin file that Bigdaddyale posted and then flash the brewpiless git? Other than that im not...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    I'm sorry but I have no idea what to do with your post... I guess you're saying that that file will map the flash to the correct pins? It seems it's already in the Brewpiless bins. I tried searching for it in the config.h file and found the #define Thorrak_PCB 2 and then below the list of the...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    What would be the process for using a Brewpi PCB with the brewpiless software? Would it be just changing the pins in the code? I see there are a couple of PCB's specific to this project, would it be better to just grab one of those to make it easier? I am in the same boat as @iduncant above...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Yeh so that was going to be the next thing I look at. How would you go about doing that? Just changing the assigned pins in the code? Any benefits in going down that rabbit hole? Thought it might be nice to have 2 inputs into brewfather, although this project does that anyway I suppose Also Can...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    So after spending about 50 hours troubleshooting why my unit wasn't working and now realising I have a brewpi PCB and not a brewpiless I feel like such an idiot! 🤦‍♂️ But the good news is that once I started the actual fermentrack install it was so easy to complete and the unit is all up and...

    Ok so because i have the board attached i should use brewpi, as in this forum? ................and if so could this be why i cant get anything to work with the brewpiless flash?

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Sorry for getting threads crossed and apologies for the confusion. Out of interest, because I have ferementrack installed is there any benefit troubleshooting with the brewpi version over the brewpiless?

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    ok so im a little confused, I was just using the interface that was on the IP address of the 8266, I thought that was what I was supposed to do with the brewpiless? I just installed fermentrack on my pi though, tried to scan for devices (brewpiless is setup and showing under available networks...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Ok so now that I have the board working and everything wired I have 2 issues that I can see, 1. LCD (20X4) displaying "blocks" as others in this thread have had. I have tried with multiple different level converters, without level converter, straight to 5v and 3v3 and multiple screens, in the...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Hi, Im having trouble accessing the config page through the wifi. Using v4.0, D1 mini, PlatformIO. It worked flashing to 1 of my D1 units but the other 2 I have won't even flash. Errors are mostly to do with wifi (eg 'WIFI_AP_STA' was not declared in this scope and 'HTTPClient' was not declared...
