    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    So, interesting thing. I ordered a LCD, which arrived today, and after wiring it up and flashing the 0.2 TFT beta firmware, when I boot it up, I get 'Access your TiltBridge at:' on the LCD and it gives the mDNS name and it's IP - But when I go to the IP, I'm still not getting a web interface...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    Is there something I'm missing with the beta firmware? I ordered a pair of Lolin D32 Pro units off Amazon to play with (I don't have a LCD yet though), and unless they are VERY good counterfeits, they are legit units that look identical to these (I'd expect a higher chance of counterfeits on...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    The Tilt's temp and gravity are both populated in my Fermentrack, with the Tilt going through a TiltBridge.

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    I don't think you can truly and irreversibly brick these things - If you get Espressif's 'Flash Download Tools' and the bootloader for the 'WROOM-32' devices, pretty sure you could erase it, flash the bootloader and recover it to a working state.

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    While the Fermentrack flashing seems to be WAY better now than it was back when I first found this and played with it, in my opinion, your Windows based flashing utility is quite painless... So no OTA wouldn't hurt my feelings any. But in my research on these units while I was having issues, it...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    Great, that did it - everything's working now. Fermentrack complained about not finding the TiltBridge via mDNS and not being able to set it up as expected, but I had already set up the Fermentrack address on the TiltBridge and allowed HTTP between it and Fermentrack, so it happily reports back...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    Looks like I got it working. The first time I tried flashing it with BrewFlasher after I flashed the 'ESP32-WROOM-32_AT_Bin_V2.0' bootloader, after it flashed and I rebooted it, it wouldn't stay connected to my PC over USB like it was constantly rebooting. After some messing around and retrying...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    It's this one, which uses the exact same ESP-WROOM-32 module as the one you linked from Aliexpress. The differences are mainly in the voltage regulator and USB to serial bridge.

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    So I got my ESP32's a few days earlier than expected - USPS showed up with them today, but I'm not having any luck with the firmware. I used your BrewFlasher to flash it and I've tried several different things - the first time I' flashed it, I selected 'yes, wipes all data' for the 'erase...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    I guess it wasn't super clear - Fermentrack is on my LAN. Since it is on a more trusted VLAN and initiates traffic to the BrewPi to poll it, it works perfectly because I DO allow devices on my LAN to initiate traffic to devices in my IoT VLAN. If the BrewPi pushed traffic to Fermentrack, that...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    I kind of had a feeling that something along those lines was the case. Still, TiltBridge is an awesome development in my opinion. One concern though... I was tinkering in Fermentrack and found for adding a TiltBridge, the only option seems to be using mDNS ID... I'm not really familiar with...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    I've been 'out f the game' for a while now... haven't made any beer in a few years! But just jumping back in and found this - awesome development! My Tilt was the only reason I still had my Fermentrack on a RPi. I just flashed my ESP with the latest firmware and built a Ubuntu-based Fermentrack...

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

    Hypothetical question - if you get it working on an ESP32 at some point, what would the odds be of getting it to be able to fetch tilt broadcasts and make them available to Fermentrack, so that one doesn't need a RPi there just for the tilt (Thinking in terms of virtualizing Fermentrack)?

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

    That was essentially what I did initially when I bound it to the controller. As I recall, it told me there was something being logged and in order to bind it, the logging would have to stop, which I did, and after binding the tilt to that controller, re-started the logging (when I did it, I had...

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

    Yes, it's awake. It's been updating the SG all along, showing it under the 'Gravity Sensors', but the data's not showing up in any charts. My phone picks it up no problem pretty much right away. I don't recall exactly what the sequence of events was, but I believe I had started the beer under...

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

    Thorrak, did you have any thoughts as to why the Tilt's data isn't showing up in any logs, even though it's bound to the device controlling the fermentation, and that's being logged?

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

    Not EXACTLY sure... I would think the chart of the temps, with notes as to when it was started, when temp changes were made etc? And if applicable, a chart of the SG readings over the ferment period? I did a 'print preview' and it did as expected - put all the info over two pages, and to be...

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

    Yes, I have an active beer on the controller (unless I'm doing something wrong - the attached image in my last post shows all the data on the dashboard for the controller controlling the fermenter). If I go to the tilt, it says 'Now Fermenting: Nothing', but it does show the current SG and Temp...

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

    So I finally brewed a batch of beer this weekend for the first time in about two years, and am using Fermentrack, an ESP8266 based controller and I also have a Tilt Hydrometer now. Everythign's working nice, but I have a question about the Tilt. Fermentrack is receiving the Tilt's data nicely...
