Firmware Update

• Before 6.0.6 download the firmware 5.9.3 from Misenkooo.

  ​https://github.com/Misenkooo/iSpindel/releases.

• If this is your first time powering it on it will create an access point (AP) and you should connect to the iSpindel WiFi network. Then open a browser and go to http://192.168.4.1. If you ever need to reset the WiFi to get back to the iSpindel network AP click the reset button 3 -4 times then connect to the iSpindel AP (will need a small flat head screw driver).

• Go to the Maintenance page and scroll down to the Firmware update, select the file you downloaded above and click Update.

Configuration

• Reconnect to the iSpindel AP

• Go to the Maintenance page and click calibrate.

• Brewer's Friend expects the gravity to be in Plato since the iSpindel does not send a gravity unit.
