Grind-by-weight demo with Niche and Decent Half Decent Scale
By using a bluetooth controlled power plug, and new firmware on our upcoming Half Decent Scale, we're able to modify our Niche grinder to be a “grind by weight” grinder.
This same modification will work on any grinder which has simple electronics: just an on/off switch, and also which doesn't grind too quickly.
In this demo, we ground 0.3g too much, and the next iteration of the scale firmware will plan for that slight delay between stopping the power to the grinder, and a bit more grounds coming out.
Note that we've also modified the Niche to use a hopper with a 3D print modification.
