Still curious.... what do you need? A hydrometer reports SG. What else do you want it to do?

Finally get the calibration done.
My iSpindel tilts around 37 degree in tap water with 20g at the bottom.
It will tilt like 5 degree with 25g at the bottom, so I have to stick the additional 5g at the center.
The result curve is more like a third order(x^3) instead of second order.
anybody experiencing issues with the read intervals? mine works fine for a while but it looks like it randomly checks the reading
What is your report interval?
Mine is set to 10 minutes, and it works fine.

lol i had it in 10 s but i changed it now to 5min and looks like its working like a charm! will keep testing though
Impressive that the reading doesn't vary at all.
@pocketmon, I see that you're using Brewpiless. I'm having trouble getting my iSpindel to talk to it. I configured the iSpindel for HTTP, specified the IP address of the Brewpiless (192.168.X.X), the port (80), and the URL (/gravity). On the Brewpiless side, I configured the gravity sensor as an iSpindel that reports less than every 5 minutes. Did I miss something or get something wrong? I'm pretty sure the iSpindel is working because I get reports when it's configured for Ubidots. Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi All,
I have just updated the iSpendel firmware to 5.1.2 and everything was ok. I logged on to Ubidots, and the divine came up straight away with all the variables on display. However, although the Wemos is flashing the intermittent blue light, the Ubidots is stationary with the first values and even after 30 minutes the values have not changes. I tried re-stating the device, and the Ubidots refreshes with new vales. Therefore, can anyone shed some light on what I done wrong please?
Thanks.
PS The setting at configuration is to send every 900 seconds (15 minutes).
Thanks Pocketmon, I'll have a look at this and re-solder just in case of a bad connection.
Also, I can't wait to see what luck Mikmonken has had with his boards from PCBs, as I am not an expert in the soldering department.
Cheers.

I've updated the code, but I will be able to test it after one or more weeks. The iSpindel code must be modified. Please check the readme at Github.

Haha neither am I!!! Still don't think they've been shipped yet but I'll keep you posted.
So, could you tell us which bottle are you using? I bought that regular bottle from Ebay But I don't know if this sled will fit into the bottle.View attachment 394607
fits a little lose inside lol? think 34mm might be the sweet spot and battery a little tight, just upgraded the diagram if anyone wants to try it, still waiting on some parts to assemble and test

I liked the idea of the sled having some room for additional weight.
Thanks.
I tought you were kidding about the 20 g weight. but it seems really efective. For a fraction of second I considered using a lead tablet that I probably have in a drawer over here but actually the weight is a better idea.
I already download the 2.1 file version and will find someone to print it for me. Thanks a lot.
I am waiting on the switch to arrive to solder it all together. I will 3D print the sled at work.
That 20g weight looks good. Might have to go down that path.

Bit of an update on the boards, they're not quite right.
when I say not quite right, I made a couple of school boy errors, I didn't think about what orientation things like the wemos need to be so the gyro would need to be on the underside of the board, and also the female connectors are to close to the side of the board, which means when all connected up it wouldn't fit into the sled.
I've got mine put together minus the switch.
I crossed the tag ends of the wires where the switch would be.
I can flash and find the iSpindel but when I try to connect it to my home network it does not connect.
I reflashed a couple of times to set up again. There is something I am missing and need to look at it with fresh eyes later.
When you hit reset does the blue light flash? The trick I found is that you need to hit the reset a few times and then try and connect over wifi it's a bit of a faff but it can be done.
If however the led isn't flashing blue when it's reset I suspect you have killed it, I had something similar with my first one
When you say find the ispindel do you mean on your wifi network?
You need to first connect to it as if it were I wifi access point at which point you can set it all up.
Then if you went to connect again in the future you need to hit the reset button a few times and whilst you can see it connect as an access point again.
