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

    no it was a very random point of 10.3F which is way colder than anything I would ever set I always use a warmer than freezing setting even when cold crashing just in case plus the fridge isn't powerful enough to achieve that. So II have no idea where that setting came from. In beer profile mode...

    Yeah they both sit next to eachother out in my shed. I have an ehternet cable that runs to the shed and run a wifi network out there for the controllers and ispindels to connect to. The server is on a raspberry pi in the house connected via ethernet.

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

    not a bad idea. This Pi runs raspberry pints, fermentrack, pihole, and an mqtt server that interfaces with a bunch of diy sensors and devices for home automation. I haven't had problems with its other tasks just fermentrack. Ive had wall warts fail on some diy devices super annoying to track...

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

    sorry i guess I needed to click the attach button. The first one you can see the beer is ramping up like set in my profile then the next one you see it gets a setpoint of 60 says from beer profile. Fermentrack cant connect to script after that and beer went to 60. 60 is at least where that beer...

    Update on my last post. Today controller 1 had a strange failure too. it was ramping up slowly just fine for a dactyl rest then it shows a set point of 60 by fermentation profile. I have attached the profile I'm at a loss as to why it would do this. It became unreachable by the fermentrack...

    I hadn't had time to brew in a while but I sound some time last weekend to brew a couple of batches. I have both my fermentation chambers running a beer on separate profiles. The first one behaved normally so far its a brewpi with a d1 mini second one also a d1 mini i found today 3 days in...

    Which esp32. I had all sorts of issues with an S2 mini build freezing up etc a while back and have been just fine with the classic d1 mini esp8266 instead. I haven’t tried the a S2 again in a while cause I’ve been busy.

    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.

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

    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.
