excellent thanks so much. I just got the new iphone so have the charging pad ready to go... awesome!
edit: actually thinking about it, won't you still need to open the lid to change the switch between "on" and "charge" or can the battery still be charged while it is running?
this is the guy I have. I'm thinking it's the little black diode on the left near the bottom.
Just want to let you know that how sensitive iSpindle can be.
it looks like it can be charged and still report at the same time, no need to remove the lid, the iSpindel just gets a little warm but nothing to worry about i think.
I'm a little confused by the calculation of the SG, my tilt reading went marginally UP from the initial reading however it has reported the SG dropping quite a bit.
It has dropped from 20 to 12, I assume it is taking temperature in to consideration in the SG calculation?
I think you are right with krausen although I think it might be weighted down too much. I might need to move the weight further up the body, I'll run the calibration again on the next ferment where the pitching temp is the same as ferment temp and take the temperature out of the equation.
Just noticed something strange with the v2.4 set to beer constant 12 degrees. It got below this but continued to cool even though the fridge target temp was increasing...

Fermenting chamber is a fridge, haven't changed any paramaters.
I cleared the eeprom, re-setup the devices and haven't seen the issue again. Everything is working well and the calibration is going well.
I think I am going to start logging locally rather than to ubidots, the layout is nice to be able to see everything in one place.

Although it IS expected, the gravity chart looks weird.
So I made a few changes
- use linear formula when there are only two calibration points available.
- temperature corrected the calculated gravity to 68F(20c).
You might need to try new code on Github.(the master branch now.)
I was checking out the updated version history and I don't understand this line:
- Default configurable minimum cooling/heating time & back-up sensor. (That is, Glycol supported.)
I've currently got the previous v24_ispindel version running with my glycol system (compiled with the glycol and throrrak mods enabled). Will I need to set anything up differently with this new version?
Thanks.
Pulling some wort to measure gravity in 3rd day.
The initial reading surprised me, so I spin the hydrometer to check again. 5 points less after removing the bubbles attached on the hydrometer by spinning!!!
That should be a good reason why the reading of iSpindel bumps up and down.
It also reminds me this hack of iSpindel, which uses a motor to vibrate iSpindel.

Anybody here did that hack?
Did you calibrate you ispindel in a fermenting solution or just in various sugar solutions?
I think I read on the iSpindel github that calibrating it in a "live" fermentation allows the model to take into account the bubbles occuring during the fermentation.
Not sure how much more accurate that is in the short term, but my iSpindel has always been pretty close to the actual gravity.
Great I ordered the same ones. Now waiting them to arrive (bought the capsule (petling xxl) from a German webshop: http://www.geo-versand.de/
I don't know what the difference is, but the ones that I ordered through ebay were the XXL PETling. They fit the sled perfectly.Has anyone besides @mr_birra_olanda ordered from this shop?
http://geoversand24.de/shop/en/xl-preform-15-cm-x-5-cm-306
It's a much better deal than eBay and I'm hoping to have several shipped to Canada. Just curious about the fit.
Hey!I did, today, 5 pcs.
Let's hope it fits!I am not 100% sure but it says that measurements are 150x50 mm so I think it should fit.
Will see next weekend and let you know.
Hello guys!
I have been using some time to order parts needed, and the remaining is the tube and sled. I have asked several people about 3D printers, and finally, tomorrow a friend can get it done for us.
Since I haven't ordered the tube yet, I want to make sure I get the correct part printed. Looking at the GitHub, there are several models, for what I assume to be slightly different PETling tubes. I've decided to order the one linked to from the GitHub. Can anyone confirm which model is the correct one?
It is the one here: http://cachers-world.de/de/Petling-XL
And there are several models here:

Also, what about this model:

I know this is probably answered somewhere, but I can't find a definite answer. Hoping someone can help me make sure I am sending the correct model for print tomorrow.
After building a brewpi, I got hooked on learning more about electronics, and I love this community.
Thank you very much. Unfortunately this seller is in the us, so shipping will be expensive. If nobody else has any input, I might go for the same.
I used the file from Thingiverse and can confirm that it fits the sled I ordered perfectly. But, I ordered the XXL PETling from ebay.
Thanks gromit. I've ordered, and my friend had the sleds printed today. Can't wait to start putting this together.I'm not sure where you are located, but the seller for the PETlings I bought from ebay is actually in Lithuania.
Hi, I'm sorry to be pedantic about this, but I've found a number of sled designs on Thingiverse. Can you please confirm the sled you used that fits the XXL PETling from Ebay?
Here is a link with multiple Thingiverse designs:

Many thanks!
