iSpindle and Fermentrack

J’ai eu la même erreur sur un de mes trois iSpindels. Je n’ai pas encore trouvé de solution. Sur la page Github du firmware , il y a quelques pistes de solution mais je n’ai pas encore essayé. Je vais probablement d’abord tester le senseur de température.

Tiens-nous au courant de tes recherches. Je ferai de même.

C’est le capteur de température qui ne fonctionne pas. En l’échangeant avec mon fonctionnel ça marche… je vais en commander cette semaine. Si quelqu’un en a besoin également, faites moi savoir d’ici Vendredi!

Cheers!

Je te prendrais 5-6 senseurs de température (DS18B20) si tu passes une commande, ou peu importe le nombre (max 6) pour que tu arrives à un chiffre rond. Merci !

Curieux de savoir combien de gens qui ont participé au group buy on eu de difficultés avec les pièces (et lesquels)? Si il y en a assez, je pourrais peut-être porter plainte à Aliexpress. Cetant dit, ce n’est pas certain que ça vaut la peine, considérant le cout de certaines pièces.

Nothing wrong with complaining and getting free stuff in return. :slight_smile:

My iSpindel is flashing once then long flash and I cannot see it on wifi…any help? I configured and got her going, then dropped it in bucket, saw a few readings and then left…now, I cannot see it…

Thank you.

Sounds like its out of configuration mode and is logging normally. Where did you configure it to send data (HTTP, Ubidots, etc.)? Have you checked there?

You can turn off, back on and short the reset pins a few times (4-5) to get back to the configuration mode.
Cheers

It is in my brew bucket :pensive:
I supposed I missed a step or two, I spent like an hour getting graph points for the tilt readings and then just dumped it in the bucket once I saw that I was connected to my phone…I thought it was as easy as going back to my phone, finding it on wifi and checking in periodically…

When you connect with your phone, was it with the “iSpindel” access point?

Originally it wsa with my laptop, and then with my phone. And I saw both…not at the same time.

When connected on iSpindel, it’s for configuring it only. Then, you tell the ispindel to use your wireless network.

So I should not see it on the wifi network again unless I set it to configure mode?

Correct. When you save the config, you won’t see the “iSpindel” network anymore.

Question peut-être étrange, es-ce possible de faire la calibration avec de l’eau salée plutôt que sucrée? L’idée serait de vider ça dans la piscine au sel une fois la calibration terminée. Bonne ou mauvaise idée?

Merci!

I have finally built one of my 2 sets, but it did run into an issue with my Windows machine that could not properly flash the ESP chip. Fixed it by using my Linux Laptop. I will build the second (now that I know i can make it work and didn’t break anything)
Did anyone have issues flashing his ESP chip on windows. I spent a lot of time searching for my usb cables, thinking they were lacking data capability until i saw that windows only saw an unrecognized COM driver. (I did install the drivers mentioned in the opensource distilling video)

Did you try this drivers from post #121 ?

I’ve been having difficulties flashing my iSpindels on windows. Can you describe what you did on linux? I have a laptop running Ubuntu, maybe I’ll have more luck there.

Thanks!

I used EspTool so start by installing it
sudo apt-get install esptool
Then run this command
esptool --port /dev/ttyusb0 write_flash 0x00000 /pathtoBinFile/firmware.bin

And there you have it. Hopefully, and if not let me know. I tried to run got github and compile the app, but I got issues with the python version I was using.

@ericpare ill try installing that driver, i remember a similar dirver back in my earlier days of ordering devices from china!

sudo apt-get install esptool
esptool --port /dev/ttyusb0 write_flash 0x00000 /pathtoBinFile/firmware.bin

I second. I did exactly that on Linux (Debian Bullseye) and it worked like a charm.
