    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    Well, that was a nasty job! I tried to replace the switch with the least amount of disturbance to the other components. I only removed the TP4056, that gave me enough space to get the switch out. Had to cut it out though and then unsolder the pins. Might have been easier to remove D1 mini...

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    As we discussed before it's something I tried the reed switch and dismissed it however, I'm looking at the PCB and different switch options. I'm satisfied that my issue is the switch, both iSpindels work with the switch contacts shorted out. One current thought is to remove the slide switch...

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    Anybody have any long term issues with the on/off switch on their iSpindel? I've just tried 2 of my iSpindels and neither turn on. When I check the battery volts, they're fine, but that voltage is not getting through the switch. If I short out the switch pins everything is fine So fellow...

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

    It's basically what I did when I moved to a newer Pi. Worked a treat and still is!

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

    Just started a new ferment after upgrade from non-docker to docker. Should add that I took the oportunity to change hardware and now using a Pi V3a that was gathering dust. Very straightforward process, make backup, new install, restore from backup. Both controllers working, both iSpindels...

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

    There a couple of solder bridges that you'd need to sort out, as @Thorrak said on the RJ45 and there's one on the D1Mini, between 3V3 and D8, you might also have a dry joint on the GND. There could be another couple of dry joints on the surface mount components? For testing I can recommend...

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

    Update completed on non-docker and all appears well! I can see iSpindels and graphs!

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

    Ah yes, I can see that it's attached to the controller and I can see a graph of temperature and gravity!

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

    @Thorrak I can confirm that I can also see the iSpindel data as @blmcga suggests

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

    So... After RETRIEVING the iSpindel I can confirm that it is set as it should be, correct netwrok, correct Fermentrack address etc. However, when I go to Fermentrack to add it get " Error adding sensor - See below for details" and the only thing below is the Select Sensor Type, no error message.

    As I hadn't changed anything I didn't think I had to, I only upgraded? I'll fish it out of the fermenter...

    Oh, and the two Pi's have never been on the same network. I think things went wrong when I added the iSpindel????

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

    I have two Pi's, only one is currently switched on. The one switched on is my original installation of non-docker Fermentrack, the one switched off is docker Fermentrack that I will move to, from here on I'm talking non-docker. I upgraded it to the latest version late last night with your...
