I have the WESD 51 and would have to agree... Its reliable and works, but I wouldn't buy it again. Theres better value irons to be had.
I've got 3 spydercos (which are great) but my current EDC is a Benchmade Mini-Grip 555HG (w/spydie hole of course! :D )
I've had a Red Troodon on my wishlist...
I thought all of mine were rtl8192cu... I just double checked and the adaptor Im using now is RT5370. =/
While its sometimes a real chore to get it connected, the RT5370 has proven to be MUCH more reliable once it "warms up". :confused:
Under Network > Interfaces do you have a instance of eth0 setup to accept a DHCP? I recall reading that that can cause issues...
I'm having the same problems with 3 separate dongles. (all rtl8192cu) I suspect my problem may be related to roaming on my dual router/AP WDS setup. You wouldn't...
I think I tried that and ended up doing it the other way since LCD & web page didn't display the probe as "Pit". I could be be wrong though... :confused:
Anywho, this is useful info if your thermocouple ever craps out and you don't have a backup on hand!
For those interested, heres where I...
I did this last week as i didn't have a thermocouple, but wanted to play around with the HM. I think I just swapped the pin assignments in hmcore.h, compiled in the arduino ide and uploaded via the web flash page.
That board looks totally salvageable imo. I would recommend:
- Gently scrape the carbon off with a xacto.
- Clean remaining carbon & flux residue with a trimmed acid brush (like this) and 91% isopropyl alcohol.
- Remove remaining solder with solder wick.
- Replace any damaged traces with wire...
Hi. I have a 20x2 VFD attached to a old windows xp machine that displays weather info via LCDSmartie 24/7. I'd like to include data from the HeaterMeter while its running, but unfortunately, LCDSmartie isn't smart enough to parse JSON data and I'm not smart enough to figure out how to code a...
Here ya go: Dip Micro: Female Color Ribbon Flat Cable Jumper Dupont 40-Wire 20cm 1P-1P 2.54mm
These were the closest I could find at Mouser pre-terminated: Link (not ribbon)
interesting find... i have a NMB blower i picked up at goodwill a while back. took a look at the board where the wires connect and noticed a 4th pad. hmm... soldered a wire to the pad and connected it to a pot (0-5v) and sure enough it varied the output! bad thing is that 0V doesn't shutdown the...
many of the newer pc fans/blowers have control circuitry built-in. variable voltage, pwm or signal from a thermistor applied to the input lead will vary the fan speed.

i seem to have isolated a couple of my issues! the chip wasn't quite seated properly in the dip socket & a ribbon cable was improperly crimped by the manufacturer. 2-wire is working at the moment on my mock-up!
last night after lots of soldering and meter beeps, i finally decided it was time...
