http://bbq.superjett.com It's been going for 13 hours now with a packer brisket and 2 pork butts. I'm doing a salmon filet and smoked eggs after they come off. I've had some strange fluctuations, I think due to moisture evaporating from the 30lbs that's on there keeping temp from being able...

We just had a torrential downpour while I was out running errands/getting lunch with our 8 year old and the Heatermeter had some trouble keeping up with the humidity change. I normally keep the valve on the UDS about 2/3 open but had to go open it up completely, shake/move the fuel around some...

I just put a butt on 40 minutes ago to smoke overnight. Hopefully the storms stay away and don't affect things too much. http://bbq.superjett.com

You're going to want a fine tip for your iron, thin solder also. I'm decent at soldering and using a normal size chisel point tip wasn't the best option for smallish work like this but I was impatient so went with what I had/could find. Bad solder joints are the most likely problem but are...

And the buzzer was just me not configuring an alarm properly, all good. I think I'm 100% functional now. Thanks for the help!

I agree on hardware troubleshooting, it just took me sitting down with some time to dig in and do the work. I figured it had to be something simple and it was. I just resoldered that joint and all is well. Thanks for the resistance tip though, that was helpful. The buzzer circuit checks...

I'm just going to microblog my troubleshooting here. 3.29vdc across C6, correct 0ohms from negative side of C6 to sleeve on each probe jack, so good grounding on all 4 9.92kohms from opposite sides of R5/R16/R17/R18 to respective socket pin on atmega328p with chip out of socket And I just...

So the thread title is incorrect now, it's not bleeding over, it's just not reading that one correctly.

I took the thermistor out for this testing just so I can be consistent across all inputs. No probes connected: pit 0 #1 0 #2 ~7900 +/-100 fluctuating #3 0 Just one probe (same one, brand new) tested in each jack at a time: pit 7878 steady #1 7879 steady #2 0 solid #3 7879 steady I...

I have continuity from each probe tip to the ATmega328P pins on the chip so the traces/socket/etc are all good. I'm not seeing any cross-connections either, each circuit is isolated as it should be. I'm baffled right now. I'll do some live checks when I get home.

I'm getting basically an open at 9M-ohm between the contacts on probe #2 where the others (except #3 due to thermistor) show a capacitor charging up. I have continuity from each probe tip to the associated resistor and the other side of all 4 resistors are bonded as well as all 4 probe sleeves...

I didn't get to test last night so brought it in with me but had the rPi off it and forgot it at home, so hopefully this evening. I need to make sure I'm giving the correct symptoms.

temp probe not reading correctly I built up my rPi Heatermeter v4.0 last week and the only issue I had was the buzzer not working but that doesn't concern me much really. However, I had only used the pit and #1 food probe until I got 2 new Maverick probes in yesterday. I enabled #2 food and...

I'm doing a pork butt on the UDS overnight, then chicken pieces in the afternoon. I just started warming up the drum. http://bbq.superjett.com
