I got my iSpindel working, but due to a lack of brewing I haven't set it up properly yet. However, I am using it as a STEM project in my year 10 Science class. Part of the project is to redesign the sled to fit properly.

The pics didn't post. So here goes nothing.

With the help of the above 3D print file, I now have this. I am waiting on e-bay for some components and I'm still deciding how to mount the wemos D1 mini.

I am tweaking the tilt angle in tap water. I'm using M8 nuts. This is what I have now. Do I need to drop another 5 degrees or is this going to work?

I am sooooo slack. I got this all working, but did not box it up. Then I got interested in iSpindel. Then the iSpindel integration into brewpiless happened. I now have an iSpindel ready to go, but Brewpiless is not ready yet. So I need to get going again. I now have access to a 3D printer at...

I had been using the BS app and put in my own numbers for my GF profile. I haven't brewed in a long time, but noticed today that BS 3 has a grainfather profile. Has anyone used this ? Thoughts?

The Wemos D1 mini pro has a spot for an external antenna. I bought 2, 1 for brewpiless and one for iSpindel. This might be the way to go. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/262671685292...

There should be. And here it is. https://pcbs.io/share/8gbKR

Some sort of weight is generally used to get 25 degree tilt for 1.000 sg reading.

Don't know what I did, but it is working. I did go to the test page and then re-configure and now it works. With the diode, the cathode side (marked with the ring) goes towards the D0 pin on the wemos.

In my home made boards the one with a 330ohm resistor works. The one I have used the diode has not worked yet. Still trouble shooting. However, I did pull the trigger on these as it is a neater solution. $10 for 4 boards. Less fiddly soldering, just the components in the correct places.

I use the Arduino IDE. Since the board I used already had a previous version it remembered my network settings. I am going to use the D1 mini pro board when I build it up in a box because I can attach an external antenna for better wifi reception. I'll let you know how this fresh flashing...

I just spotted this. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/222292484948 At under $2! Bargain.

You could chuck the iSpindel into the fermenter and take gravity samples along the way to check. A calibration could be done if differences are found.

There is one modification of code to the iSpindel to make it work with brewpiless. But it's easy. When I get up to that stage, I will let you know.
