cbpi4-iSpindle 0.0.3

CraftBeerPi4 iSpindle Sensor Plugin

CraftBeerPi4 iSpindle Sensor Plugin

• Initial Version which has to be considered as beta
  • Data Transfer is working from the SPindle itself and from the TCP server via forward-
  • TCP Server does not require any changes. Only the port needs to be changed from 5000 to 8000
  • The Spindel Connection needs to be changed from CraftbeerPi to HTTP as shown in the image below
  • For Server, please enter the IP address of your CBPi4 Server.
  • Enter 8000 for Port and '/api/hydrometer/v1/data' for path.

• Installation:

  • pip install cbpi4-iSpindle (or from the GIT repo)
  • cbpi add cbpi4-iSpindle

• Usage:

  • Add Hardware under Sensor and choose iSpindle as Type

• Units are currently not displayed in CBPi4 for Sensors. You need to add that on you own in the Dashboard

• If you want to retrieve multiple parameters from one Spindle, you need to add the Spindle several times as sensor and choose different Types

  • The Sensor name should be different for each of your sensors

• The settings are shown below.

  • Name: This is the name of your sensor shown in CBPi4. e.g. iSpindleXXX - Angle
  • iSpindle: Name of your Spindle that you entered in the Spindle setup page. This name must match to the Spindle. Otherwise no data will be collected.
  • Type: Temperature, Gravity/Angle, Battery (Choose one type)
    • If Gravity/Angle is choosen and the Polynomial field is left empty, the angle data is stored
  • Polynomial: The polynomial to calculate gravity. '^' is not working. You need to uses tilttilttilt for '^3' and tilt*tilt for '^2'
  • Units: Choose SG, Brix or °P. This has impact on the calculated digits
