Is there a pdf build guide for the v4 board, or just the YouTube video?
The pdf guide is for the older version boards. I think the video is under an hour an well worth watching as there are a few things to look out for when building eg, when soldering the gyro pins they must be flush on the board otherwise the battery holder doesn't fit into place.
Started by latest brew this weekend - a Mangrove Jack Craft Rye IPA. My garage is getting a little cold, so I'm trying to control the temp with the iSpindel.
I'm doing 5 mins... I think the battery measure metric is broken though - it's never changed! It's a 3300mah battery - so hoping it will last well. No issues so far, and it's been tested for a week before in just water
Sorry guys been a lot going on my end with a family bereavement so put ispindel stuff on hold. For everyone who I promised some kits to I will happily post out what I have to each and every one of you for £4 each to cover the cost of postage and packaging but I'm afraid at this moment in time I'm not in the frame of mind to build and configure any. I apologise and hope you all understand.
I for one would be very interested in a guide not, necessarily of the physical build, but the setup with WiFi etc. Too many unknown acronyms for my feeble grasp of networks etc for my analogue brain...!!!Good progress on my build today. Everything seems to be working with ubidots, I've got that feeding triggers into IFTTT to turn a warming pad on/off (powered by a smart plug) via webhooks based on high/low temp events. I needed to add a single 5g sugru pack to the base of the cylinder for ballast and to secure the pcb, and then pushed a spare button and screw into that to get 25deg float in water by trial and error (reading 25.2deg in 25C tap water - good enough for me!).
Just need to calibrate in a sugar solution, then try an actual brew!
Most people seem to focus on the gravity readings with ispendel... But I'm most looking forward to being able to monitor and control fermentation temperator through winter in my garage!
I'm planning on putting a guide together on this at some point, in case others are interested.
