    you might be having the "deep sleep" issue for the wemos, you can use a Schottky diode BAT43 instead of the 470 Ohm resistor you can find more info here https://github.com/universam1/iSpindel/issues/59

    i only tried the original sled from github and was too big, but mine works just fine, has a space for a 20g calibration weight at the bottom. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/1TcD78DvxQu

    Flow is not adjustable, i use a 1/4" x 3/8" hose on my setup and just carbonated 2 kegs for different carb levels with no problem, but try to use +5psi over what the carb chart says and you should be fine :)

    Basically its just about how safe you want to be with your beer, dont want any weird or not intended flavors. This article explains it pretty well. http://gwcontainers.com/food-grade-plastic-what-is-it/

    interesting...where did you find that info? i cant seem to find it, but zero calibration does sounds pretty nice

    hahahaha no joke! just thought hmm why not? seems to have worked pretty well so im quite happy and if the angle is not right then just a little bit more weight and silicone can likely fix it

    im using exactly the one you just bought and i got this 20g weight to put at the bottom, once assembled it floated around 24 degrees on tap water, the model was updated, you can just print the 2.1 version ;)

    Read that the orange cable is so you can also charge your battery when you connect to the wemos directy, this thread has pretty good pictures too http://www.hobbybrouwen.nl/forum/index.php?topic=33743.0

    did you connect the orange wire like in the original german schematics? just noticed it trying to figure this out "Eingangsdiode entfernen und verbindung (orange) an Lotpunkt, der vom USB kommt, anloten (Ruckseite)" "Remove the input diode and connect (orange) to the solder point coming from...

    well, what a freaking horrible experience with soldering, think i finished it "correctly", do not solder the temperature sensor until you are almost finished, can be a pain due to the height, next time i would probably wait on removing the LED after testing, since now i cant even tell when...

    fits a little lose inside lol? think 34mm might be the sweet spot and battery a little tight, just upgraded the diagram if anyone wants to try it, still waiting on some parts to assemble and test

    1. well i weighted the rest of the thing i do have(sled, bottle, battery, wemos and some boards) and it weighted around 5.6g, so with the 20g i would figure that it would might hit the 30g total weight easier, but everything is trial and error, if it needs a 25g i might just need to modify it...
