    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    I hope to have a 30 x 40 board towards the end of this week, I'll share the files and you can try and squash that into a 31 x 33 if you want to

    The wemos needs both power and a data connection to be flashed. It sounds like you're not getting power to it. If you press the reset button on the wemos does it flash blue briefly? If not try switching it the other way. As I mentioned I messed my switch up to start so had to have the power...

    GromitDJ has been helping me a lot with this, and i hope to have a board developed soon. You're right the connection fro the middle to the top switch plug is and it shouldn't be connected to anything, i think effectively the switch toggles whether the battery is charging or powering

    If you can find this design it fits perfectly

    Are you flashing with the wifi of the serial file from the bin directory?

    That's an error I got when using an Arduino that hadn't been flashed before. Does everything seem like it's been flashed?

    No I didn't, but it explains how I've made a mistake, I think I've ballsed something up to do with the switch where I thought that the middle pin of the switch needed connecting to the live which I thought made no sense at the time.

    Yep I got it all wired up a few days ago and was waiting for the pelting. Only the switch didn't seem to work. Connected to ubidots and it was working fine. I agree about not removing the leds on the lipo charger as I couldn't tell if that was working unless it was plugged in and I was looking...

    Yes it's something like wifi-reset.bin I don't use window but SSH into the pi and flash via the RPI and terminal. When I do that i can see when it's done as it states complete in 32seconds etc.

    I have no idea what sled I have or even if it's on the GitHub but the one I posted earlier fits like a glove in the eBay sled, my shoddy soldering however he meant that the battery became disconnected and then somehow killed the ESP when it kept touching the base. New ESP and gyu board ordered...

    Wow it's a learning curve alright, but I think I'm doing OK. created a scheema the other day and thought it was all OK, but apparently I hadn't connected my wires to exactly the right place so when I went to create a board it spat it's dummy out. having a bit of trouble finding all the...

    Should change time using "sudo raspi-config" Although I'm not sure whether Fermentrack is using universal time, as I've just changed my time to reflect BST and it's still logging and hour behind. I don't think the ESP actually holds a time it just gets the instruction from the RPI.

    still waiting for the pelting container, but it was the version that I linked to from eBay that ElChangoGuero says is the wrong size.

    Ok trying to respond to all three First off I bought the 3D sled from the European distributor it's pretty poor quality and has split already I'll measure it tomorrow and let you know how long it is, the eBay pelting hasn't arrived yet so I can't say whether it fits but if the eBay...

    It may not be the prettiest of jobs, and I'm still waiting on the Peltier, but it works. well when I say works it does work, infact it's always on and switch seems to do nothing, and I can't tell whether the device is charging the battery when it's powered on, but it's logging and I'll take that.

    That's interesting I did have this issue on iOS too then there was an update which seem to solve it, both landscape and portrait. Do you know if your on the most recent version? There should be a notification on the homepage if you can update.

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

    Three Fermentracks ticking along nicely added a new one each day for the last couple of days. The top controller has just been set to beer profile but it's holding temperature well. Would be nice to track on the graph when the heater and cooler trigger but I think that's in the pipeline. So if...
