Hey guys,
I tried to update my Brewbit to 1.6.0 and it is bricked. Not totally bricked, if I plug in my probe I get a temperature reading but I can't use the screen at all and it won't sync with the webpage. Any help with reflashing? I am local and am in QUAFF. Thanks!

When you upgrade to version 1.6.0 you will have to re-authenticate your unit with the website. Once you get your touchscreen working again you will be able to do this.

Have you tried resetting the touch screen calibration by powering the unit off and then back on and immediately press and hold the screen for about 30 - 35 seconds, then follow the on screen instructions.

If you still have issues email me at brian@brewbit.com and let know where we can meet up and I can bring my laptop and a programming jig and get you all fixed up.

My Brewbit is at version 1.5.1. However, when I have it look for updates, it says it is at the latest version. How do I update to 1.6.0 in this situation?

Version 1.6.0 is currently only available on the "unstable" update channel. We need to move it to the "stable" channel soon since it appears to be working very well.

In order to switch to the "unstable" channel, log into your BrewBit.com account dashboard, select your device, go to "Device Settings" and select the "unstable" channel and then click "Update Device". Then when you check for updates on your Model-T, it will find one.

Kudos on the latest 'dashboard' and firmware updates! I took up a few months off brewing since late fall since the weather has been so unpredictable... so I'm just now noticing all of the bells in whistles... nice...
