    PSA: Try Powering Your Uncooperative DS18B20s Via 5V

    Now ya tell me! I looked quickly through a couple of HBT CBPi threads and didn't see that!

    PSA: Try Powering Your Uncooperative DS18B20s Via 5V

    I've been struggling with getting a Pi 4B to recognize some cheap Amazon DS18B20s. I was powering them via 3.3V, and getting the "00-80000000" result in /sys/bus/w1/devices. After scrounging a bit, I found a few references to folks powering them via 5V. Tried it out, and voila, "28-", reading...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Finally got an iSpindel with an ESP32 C3 V2.1 up and running. After selecting 'red' for the Bluetooth tilt color and 30 seconds for an interval (to speed up testing), I was was able to pick up the iSpindel on both the Tilt app and via TiltBridge in Fermentrack. So cool that it works! And a huge...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Huh, I wasn't aware of this. I know there'd been issues with cheap gyroscope knockoffs and D1 Minis. I haven't had any issues with the MPU6500s or the V3 D1 Minis that I ordered from AliExpress in the past, so I'm getting charger modules from the same seller this time...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I was having an issue building the C3 iSpindels where the battery would charge and the charging LED would light up red, but the ESP32 wouldn't run on battery power. So "solved the issue" was optimistic, at least ID'd it. 99% sure it's an issue with the charging module, but I'm far from an...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Deleted, solved the issue. It was a hardware problem. Carry on folks, I'll stop clogging up this thread.

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Ah, thanks! I'd interpreted what @mper said as reflecting something that needed to be updated in the BrewFlasher software, not the GravityMon firmware. My bad.

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Great, a huge thank you to you and @Thorrak for all your hard work! Is there a spot I can snag the updated version at?

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    I ordered the 0.96" yellow/blue one for a completely separate project, and wondered if it or similar would work: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832451852351.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.19.273ef19cAvF4Yf&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    Has anyone had any luck using an external OLED display with a non-pro Lolin D32? I had ordered a couple for a since-abandoned project that I was planning on re-purposing to use with TiltBridge. I know that the Lolin D32 Pro/TFT is the recommended hardware, but I was hoping that there's a way to...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    It was a no-go with 1.2, in both BrewFlasher 1.5.2 and 1.7, getting the same error message. However, I tried the Tasmota ESP Flasher for ESP8266/ESP32 (Releases · Jason2866/ESP_Flasher) with your C3 1.4 frimware, and it flashed and booted the GravityMon AP right up for both boards I tried. So...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Can you point me to which version of BrewFlasher I should be using? I was initially trying on 1.5.2, but using the newest version from the BrewFlasher GitHub (1.7), I was having the same results. I didn't see a GravityMon-related version of BrewFlasher on gravitymon.com or on the GitHub site, if...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I'm trying to flash a pair of Lolin C3 Mini V2.1s with GravityMon 1.3. When I attempt to run it in BrewFlasher, the program output makes it look like it flashed successfully. However, when I open up the serial monitor, I get the following repeating rapidly: Saved PC:0x403d0f62 SPIWP:0xee mode...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    @Thorrak: Yes, using an iSpindel with an ESP32 C3 Mini to emulate a Bluetooth Tilt signal to send to a TiltBridge (GravityMon.com - open source for beer brewing). I've been trying to figure out a way, as a non-programmer, to be able to have more than 1 iSpindel repeater sending data to my...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Would it be possible to connect a C3 mini in Bluetooth mode to TiltBridge? Off the top of my head, it sounds like it should work, an earlier description of Bluetooth mode sounded like the iSpindel data could be read by the Tilt app. I have a couple of C3 Minis on the way, but wanted to save...

    CraftBeerPi Wiring and Case Questions

    I ended up purchasing the case and power plugs that I linked to. It made for a nice, neat installation without requiring any drilling for the plugs. I did have to cut a hole for the external heat sink off the SSR for the heater. You could easily get away with one of the smaller cases from the...

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    If you haven't desoldered or don't have spare DS18B20's, the GravityMon firmware will let you use the gyroscope temperature instead.

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

    I fried my microSD card, so installed Fermentrack on a new one. I'm running into an issue with the adding a new temp controller process. I have BrewPi 0.2.4 revision 0.15 installed on an ESP32-S2. It was working perfectly previously. However, when I try to add the controller now I get an error...

    Removing Diode on V4 D1 Mini?

    Alright, ordering some V3s, and then get to do everybody's favorite activity: desoldering! Bah humbug.

    Removing Diode on V4 D1 Mini?

    Huh, okay, so there's another reason why it wasn't working. Thanks!
