    Is there a nice easy utility to install firmware on ESP32 boards like there is for ESP8266? - Brewpiless on Lolin D32

    After changing the COM port in WIndows to COM1 and then adjusting VSCode to reflect that, it finally worked. Odd.

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    I flashed a different ESP32 (of the same type) and it worked OK. Device Manager said it was on COM2 and I used that when building and uploading to the ESP32. No trouble. I connected that other ESP that I was having trouble with to the same cable, same port in the hub and this ESP shows up as...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    I bought some of the PCBs at PCB Way and am wondering if it's better practice to put Female pin headers on the PCB or Male pin headers. Arduino has female, Raspberry Pi has male. Male is what I see on the example on PCB Way's website, but wondering if it's better for female since there might be...

    Is there a nice easy utility to install firmware on ESP32 boards like there is for ESP8266? - Brewpiless on Lolin D32

    I have an ESP32 that VSCode can't upload the firmware to. Another ESP worked OK. Is it possible to somehow get this ESP working? Unless I don't understand how to use VSCode (which I really don't). After successfully flashing one ESP, I removed it and connected the second ESP. I went to View...

    Has anyone tried any of these PCBs? https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/BrewPiLess_ESP32_Rev_00.html

    I found how to add sensors at this post. But all of mine (except the last one) say Hardware Type is PIN and can't be changed. I've tried changing the Device Slot and Function, but the PIN type is not changeable to SENSOR.

    Is there a nice easy utility to install firmware on ESP32 boards like there is for ESP8266? - Brewpiless on Lolin D32

    Are the pinouts different for the ESP32 vs 8266? On Github it shows: ESP8266 GPIO NodeMcu Label Connect to GPIO16 D0 Buzzer GPIO5 D1 I2C SCL GPIO4 D2 I2C SDA GPIO0 D3 INT from PCF8574 * Or UP Button GPIO2 D4 DOWN Button GPIO14 D5 Cooling Actuator* GPIO12 D6...

    Thanks. Those directions worked surprisingly well. I still need to make a new homemade PCB anyway since the pinouts aren't the same between the two projects. Oh well. iSpindel is currently updating into BrewPiLess nicely. Waiting now for the pressure sensor and ADC board.

    Thanks. I didn't realize that the BrewPi-ESP9266 Project was Brewpiless. I'll give it a try.

    Is there a nice easy utility to install firmware on ESP32 boards like there is for ESP8266? - Brewpiless on Lolin D32

    Probably a stupid question.... I have a homemade PCB I made for Keg Cop and a Lolin D32 with 32 pins - but want to use Brewpiless instead. I'm hoping to set it up with a pressure switch and flow meter, along with 3 temp probes. The D1 mini won't work on that PCB - different pin count, thus the...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Thanks. I found that on Digi-Key's website for about the same price but faster shipping. I'll order one from there and one of the amplifier boards from Amazon.

    Would a pressure sensor like this work with Brewpiless? It uses I2C: https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/187/HWSC_S_A0016036563_1-3073392.pdf They have a lot of them (popular item?) and are only about $13. Or does the pressure sensor need to be Analog? Analog pressure sensors seem to be more...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I found the problem. In addition to the trace from the Dallas sensor back to the ESP being open and needing a jumper wire, both traces from the diode were bad back to the ESP. I added 2 jumper wires from each side of the diode back to RST and D0 and it now wakes up and updates Brewpiless.

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I recalculated the battery level/config with the USB cable plugged in. It's now reading 100% battery and I shut off the advanced features. I'm still getting only jibberish when it's time to come out of deep sleep. And when the next interval is supposed to happen, nothing. Not even the jibberish...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I didn't have the battery in when I captured that serial output. Just connected to USB port on PC. I changed the advance settings to disable that feature and it did something different, but wouldn't power up and send data. I only got a little jibberish. Maybe some of those other settings need...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Digging in a little more, it's not waking up from deep sleep. It's set to update every 30 seconds, but after many minutes, here are the logs - not waking up. Yes - I've calibrated. There are no yellow warnings at the top of the web page when using the battery. Now I have the battery removed...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    My iSpindel got wet inside with beer on the last brew. Before the iSpindel got wet it worked OK with Fermentrack, but I'm getting ready to brew again and testing everything out first. The iSpindel didn't work for me the other day. Someone suggested Gravitymon, and I'm also trying Brewpiless...

    iSpindel got wet last brew and now it won't power on

    I did get it working with the help of the GravityMon software. I could see that the gyro board was working but I didn't get the dallas sensor data showing up. Tracing the board, noticed there was an open in somewhere, so I added a jumper wire. It's working now, but the battery was dead. I'm...
