    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    I want to replace the controller in my All-in-one brewing system so I can control it remotely like the Grainfather Connect. There is a commercial version called SmartPID (http://smartpid.com/store/#!/SmartPID-Single-vessel-all-in-one-retrofit-KIT/p/95169469/category=32120508) but not only is it...

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    Nice, I have an iSpindel (version 6.2) that dropped from 4.10V to 3.81V since 7 December 2019. It depends on the type of battery of coarse, I use a 8800mAh version.

    @day_trippr Thanks for the info. By default it is turned off so I probably set it on for testing and forgot to turn it back off.

    I just found out that my SD card is almost full so this will probably be the reason!! Motion was installed so I could check the bubbles through my webcam but I didn't notice that the capturing was stored in /var/lib/motion directory o_O

    I've tried to upgrade my BPI and used doUpdate.sh The scripts was execute well but I did not reprogram the arduino at the end because I'm using the brewpi-arduino-uno-i2c-0.2.12.hex version. But now I'm unable to get the script running (see screenshot) I tried to reprogram the arduino with...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I had the problem again with another USB cable so its something else. Could it be that the cable of the temperature sensor is too long? It was 3 meters but I've cut it to 2,5m.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    The sensors are powered through the Arduino and the Arduino gets his power from the RPI through the USB cable. Because I don't have much time to do some tests and I would like to start my next brew tomorrow I will replace this USB cable first. Maybe I can setup a new brewPi Remix with the spare...

    Just detected another problem with my BrewPi Remix. Since a few days I've noticed that the sensor of my beer was going crazy it said that the temperature of the beer went up to 85°C. I know that if a sensor is disconnected it give the same result (i.e. 85°C) so I thought that it could be a false...

    No you need to shorten the pin D7 on the Arduino UNO to GND.
