For sure. It'd be a serious project. Probably not worth doing unless you had enough demand to do an actual production run including mounting the components.
I found a supplier in the US with USPS shipping. The dimensions match the outer specifications of the one on ebay. I figured for under $3 plus shipping is worth it since I won't be getting the ebay tubes for another month.
That's what I read elsewhere but the dimensions listed in Space Coast store 5 5/16" x 1 11/16" (135 mm x 43 mm) are the same as the ebay listing that OpenSourceDistilling recommended. The same seller lists his own XXL tube with larger dimension.

| Dimensions (external, MAX), mm | ~135 x (d39, d43 MAX) | ||

I don't mean to hijack your issue, but I'm having a very similar issue. I can flash any version of the FW onto the D1 Mini, but the LED blinks four time and then, nothing. When I open a session to the device and hit the reset a few times, it looks like starts to go into config mode and tries to reboot(?) and then just stops. I've attached my console output.
If you're using a PCB, CherryPhilip or OpenSourceDistilling then DON'T use the XXL, it's too big. You'll have to put in a whole load of weights to get it float at the ideal angle. Definitely go for the XL!
Are you flashing the D1 mini before assembly? If so, it will never complete the boot process, it looks for all the hardware first and stops if it doesn't.
It could be your soldering iron just isn't getting hot enough? Also don't put too much solder on the PCB or the battery holder, wet both the PCB and holder first then just leave the iron on the holder for 15 seconds (you could try longer), that might get it hot enough without getting to hot to damage the plastic.
Try using BrewFlasher. Follow the steps in BrewFlasher to erase first. I have had the occational issue with flashing, but BrewFlasher has fixed every one so far.
Strangley I had my first issue with an iSpindle over the weekend. First few days away from home since March, had to happen then didn't it!
Agreed!! To help with the diagnostics what we need is a way of getting into the configuration menu remotely? Not just without opening the Petling but without opening the FV!
<?php
$debug = true; // Write log file if true
$file = "jsonlog.txt"; // API Log
$args = "LOCK_EX | FILE_APPEND"; // File lock mode
$json = file_get_contents('php://input'); // Get incoming post
function writeLog($logLine) { // Log file writer (if $debug == true)
global $debug;
if ($debug) {
// Get timestamp
$date = date('Y-m-j H:m:s ', time());
//Open the File Stream
global $file;
$handle = fopen($file, "a");
//Lock File, error if unable to lock
if (flock($handle, LOCK_EX)) {
fwrite($handle, $date);
fwrite($handle, $logLine);
fwrite($handle, "\n");
flock($handle, LOCK_UN);
}
}
}
$result = json_decode($json);
if (json_last_error() === JSON_ERROR_NONE) { // JSON is valid
writeLog("Received JSON: " . $json);
header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
echo "Ok\n\n";
} else {
// Unable to decode JSON
writeLog("Invalid JSON received.");
header("HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request");
echo "Invalid JSON received.\n\n";
}
?>Did you erase flash in BrewFlasher? This erases everything first.
Not knowing enough here... I'm guessing this would need the iSpindle to be pointing at your RaspberryPi?
Right - you'd need a web server and PHP running on your Pi. Or for that matter any PHP-capable web server.
Sorry, I meant to address that - I did choose the option to erase flash
Ok so how much is it to build one? How much do u want for the kit? And lastly, are all the parts to build it in the kit?
Uhg. Guess I should swallow my pride and report back.
but I went onto ubidots.com and created a user account in preperation for recieving my ispindle. looked for API Credentials and I cannot find it anywhere on the screen. can someone send me a screenshot of where this is? I want to set it up so I can use fermentrack on on chip and then craftbeerpi on another chip. Until I see the software in action i cant decide which to use, but following the instructions iSpindle Documentation tells me to create an account and then get the token.Ok, I must be dumb, blind or stupid, (PROBABLY ALL OF THEM)
Thanks. I’ll try it when I get home. I think part of my problem is I might not have created it via ubidots.com stem.
