ISpindel / Gravitymon Pill PCB

[Andreq]

This is something I've been working on and off for a little while since I got a Rapt Pill after using iSpindel hydrometers for a while.

It's an alternative PCB to build an iSpindel(or Gravitymon) hydrometer that fit inside the Rapt Pill casing.
This remove the need to source PETling preform and add all the advantage of the Pill casing which (imho) is much better.

You can find the Gerbers and all the source file on Github here : https://github.com/andreq/iSpindel-Gravitymon-Pill-PCB

Here's some photo of the first prototype

I'll try to update GitHub with photo based build instruction when I get the first "real" revision PCB from China.
I'm no professional PCB designer, so don't hesitate to open issues in if something could be better.

Nice work! Do you happen to have a link to the pill casing that your referring to?

Presumably one would need all three package parts: the female (colored) part, the male (clear) part, and the O-ring between them.
I can't find a supplier in the USA that carries those but there's Ontario Beer Kegs on the continent at least...

Looks great. Should be a better prospect for pressure fermenting if nothing else. Will definitely have a go when you finalise the PCB.

太棒了。这是一个开源项目吗？
marvelous. Is this an open source project?
