Looks good, man. Congrats! For those who think all this filing is not necessary, I'm telling you, having a sled that fits perfectly into the petling with no wiggle room is a MUST. And it must fit exactly the same way if you take it out and put it back in. Any deviation can shift the gyro reading from your initial calibrations. Saw it a bunch with each of mine and had to add layers to my edges to get a snug and consistent fit. This is the best solution I've seen to this issue. Nice work!

To all using the v2.69 PCB, be carefull as the temperature sensor was rotated...
Took some time finding the issue, since I was referring to this video for orientation of components. Luckily, no other components are burned, other than the temperature sensor.

Thanks for this video! I just put together two ispindels using this guide. First time using a soldering iron! Both seemed to turn out okay! will be ordering parts to finish the other 3 PCBS too

Again, thanks for a excellent vid. This must be the most complete PCB so far! Congrats!

Great work, I really can't say that enough. You seem to have fixed every problem with the original, as well as going much further and improving it.
The only thing I would question is the precise fitting into the shell instead of using compressive bushings or similar. This is pretty standard for mass production as it allows a bit of play in sizing, as well as providing an impact buffer for the electronics. If the board had the right pegs on it you could maybe use grommets, earplugs or something else readily available.
Great work, keep it up!

This is GREAT!!!! Can you please do a brewpiless build and then how to use them together. PLEASE!!!
Absolute legend! Thanks

Great job. ordered the circuitboards yesterday.

I'm wondering why you mount the gyro elevated. If the goal is to get it horizontal to the PCB, why not mount it against the PCB? Am I missing something?

[Symnd]

I've got all of the components on the way. Just need to order the PCBs, but I've never used pcbway before. Do I just use the link from your site and order, leaving the options as is?

[askarandersson]

When the pins for the battery first is soldered, it is soldered on the side that has "off" and "reset" printed on it, later in the video, the pins seems to be on that side and the solder on the other side. Which one is correct! :(

Hello, Great Videos and an awesome job explaining everything. I am about to order 5 of your boards. I can not figure out if I can order 5 different colors or if I have to order 5 of the same color. Could you please let me know if I just don't know how to use the PCBWay site or if I have to get 5 of the same color. Thank you.

Can you make a video on how to calibrate the ispindel for sugar wash use ie. SG1200 cause I see a lot of SG1085 but we use a lot more sugar than beer

[timquesnel]

Thank you for this and other vids on the iSpindel!! I just built my first one, using the Jeffrey 2.0, and much to my surprise...it works!!! Two quick questions I hope you, or others, can help with. Is there a way to calibrate the temp sensor? It's about six degrees f off. (No I'm saying f-off :) ) And when I have it plugged in to charge, it is still charging (red light still on) even though it's showing 4.3 volts on the ISpindel info page. (No it's not plugged in while it's turned on) Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, nice job. Thanks for sharing this. I have problems to get that pet tube in Mexico, do you think another type of bottle or even 3d print my own tube can work?

[fixedtech]

Great instruction, I have just built this. Is it normal for the charging board TP4056 to get very hot when on charge?

[flatbedtrucker]

Hey joey do you have the parts list by chance I’ve got to get mine finished up thanks for the info glad to get a video from you man hope as all well Yeehaw!!!🤙. Never mind I found them in the link

[dereklarson]

Hey there. I have recently purchased all the components in your list, and went through your build process. After flashing the boards on 2 units successfully, I cannot connect to them with WiFi. I have tried multiple phones and computers. One computer won’t even see the ispindel, the others say they can’t connect to the WiFi ispindel. Any thoughts? There is a post on Homebrewtalk with the same problem, but no resolve. Thanks.

[laksepote]

Whats the size of the petling? I found some 130x33 mm. Is that it?

[matthewostermeyer]

Hi Joey, What are the 2 pins in the top corner labeled reset for?

[aprogy]

I have TP4056 - 6 Pin but it's Input interface: Micro USB. Can I use it instead of the type-C USB?
