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

    Thanks man! I'll definitely load up the S2 with the new firmware and throw it through the ringer with some water when this beer is in the keg lol I hear ya not enough memory on the D1 every time I use one in a project I cant sloppily allocate memory like I normally do for ease and convenience lol

    Well I'm running that latest beta that you made for the s2 mini a couple of weeks ago when we were troubleshooting the i2c screen thing together. Is that the same as the changes that were rolled into the latest stable version? Since I switched to the D1 mini its been stable so its definitely...

    Ive had the s2mini freeze a third time this time in the middle of cooling with the relay stuck on. I have swapped out the board for a esp8266 d1 mini to hopefully have some stability back as well as see if its something goofy with my setup or if there is still a bug on the s2 mini.

    Since my last reset the controller has been fine controlling. It’s lost connection with the server and I imagine a reset of fermentrack would fix it. However, I’ve just let it rock to see what it would do. It’s been continuing to control the beer as expected. So perhaps that bug with the unable...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    interesting... I've made other battery powered sensors for some smart home stuff some from particle photons which were horrible on the battery. And most recently been using s2 minis and I've got a couple of sensors in my cigar humidor I made with s2 minis and an 18650 battery that have been...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Yeah I saw those rapt pill containers. I'm using the jeffrey open source distilling pcb I'm sure it wont fit. Has anyone tackled designing a pcb for the rapt pill? I have done some custom pcb design and could consider trying it if nobody else has but I'm sure it would take me some trial and...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I had an ispindel that must have gotten a little beer or moisture in it cause it wouldn't switch on and had some signs of corrosion. I cleaned it up with some rubbing alcohol and poked around with a multimeter. I determined it had a bad switch so I had to unsolder the d1 mini on there to change...

    I'm still running that beta @Thorrak made for me on the s2 that fixed the I2c screen address issue. Initial testing it seemed to be fixed as it stayed stable for a while a couple days or so cant remember how long i left the water in there testing. But after that test I didn't unplug it but just...

    Mine saved as something.tar.xz seems kinda strange to have two file extensions. It wants to open with raspberry pi imager as the default program so I’m not sure how big it is unzipped. As far as the beta s2 firmware it ran through the night so all looks good. No freezing no weird screen issues...

    Installed v15c-beta1 and am currently testing fingers crossed. As far as the fermentrack log directory size how would I find that and I will happily take a look? Otherwise I just ran a a backup and the file size was 522kb.

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

    Yeah I’m willing to help test whatever we need to help track down the bug. My equipment is pretty bomb proof I run some wine fridges converted over so if a relay sticks it’s not powerful enough to freeze and it’s just a seedling heat mat for heat so also not powerful enough for concern if it...

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

    Just an update running the beta. I came out this morning to a frozen screen this time screen was frozen saying idling but the fridge compressor was running based on the frost on the coils I imagine it had been running a while. The mode I set was controlling a container of water in beer constant...

    Yeah that makes sense it definitely would make you want to pull your hair out when the other platforms are working great and everything should be the same. The S2 mini is an awesome chip I use in alot of other projects and I designed my pcb around it so hopefully this is the fix. So far so good...

    Yeah the screen freezes the countdown or count up timer wherever it happens to be when it freezes doesn’t change. And all relays go off. I’ve had it freeze saying cooling but the relay is no longer on. And the controller is unresponsive from feementrack when it freezes. I’ll go load up your...

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

    @Thorrak I'm kind of at a standstill with my problem. The beers done so I've started troubleshooting I've tried flashing a different S2 mini and it behaves the same. I believe the firmware I was on that worked before I updated was probably that version 11 that's the oldest one showing on your...
