DIY Scale Update + App Final Beta Invites

submitted over 9 years ago by queuetueProud Sidebar Reader!

Some shots of the current build platform for the DIY scale I'm building, and a shot of the software hurdles still to overcome - that second shot shows a still scale over about 2 minutes, and then a drop of VG added about 3/4 of the way through the plot. You can see how much noise a load cell generates and needs to get filtered.

Also, BatchR, my DIY mixing app, (designed to integrate with this scale but also be quite useful without it) is entering it's final beta phase before release. I'd really like to get some more eyes on it.

If you have an android device and a Google Play account, please PM me with your google play email, and I'll invite you into the beta.

EDIT: Added startup video.

An apple - blessed version is planned, it'll have to be tailored specifically to get into the app store, though. Keep your eyes open for a private beta of the iOS client.

For the past week or so that I've been using the app, it's been absolutely wonderful. This is going to be huge when it goes public, people.

Why, thank you! 1.2.14 will do steeping reminders and stash management, and adds a bunch of sorting options to handle long lists - hopefully tested and released tomorrow mid-day.

Have you tried the click to import feature from http://alltheflavors.com/recipes.html yet?

I have now! Do you have plans to add some community recipes on there, or just yours for now?

i'm assuming d is for drop? Pretty wildly variable, the smaller bottles come out to around 0.02 for example.

d=0.5g on the front of the scale near the display on the first image

Looks like a reused enclosure, I doubt the original scale had an indication on how much a drop of ejuice weights.
Plus 0.5g seems heavy for a single drop.

I think that was the minimum weight the old scale was able to detect, but I might be wrong on that one.

I'm loving the app! I haven't gotten around to importing my recipes from my other calculator yet, but this is working great so far!

I'd be willing to build a unit and test your app; PM me if you need more testers.
