Hi All, Built my HM last year and one for a Friend. After replacing my wireless AP I tried reconnecting my HM and seem to have managed to screw up both the wired and wireless networking :( Is it as straight forward as taking it apart and re-flashing the SD Card? Thought i'd ask here before I...

Hi Ron, What a fantastic and very generous offer! If you still have one left I would love to give it a new home. Cheers, Jon.

I'm happy to assemble a full kit of parts for anyone in the UK or Europe where the postage makes sense. I'm based in the UK but Mouser ship from Germany. PM if interested. Jon.

Hi, I have had this problem intermittently and thought it was down to the distance the HM was from my Router, sometimes just holding the HM up in the air for a few moments resolves the issue. Having changed the channel my wireless network is on it stays connected much more reliably. Might be...

Hi Tom, Yes, that's fine and as per the design. If you look at the pinout diagram in the thermocouple amp section you will see that only 4 pins in that IC actually do anything. I have built 2 HM's using Peters boards without issue. Jon.

Having built a couple I would be happy to assemble a full kit of parts for any UK people interested in a fully assembled unit. If interested please PM me to discuss. Jon.

Hi All, Finished off the 4.2.4's for Bob Pearson and myself this afternoon, the Pi headers were missing from the Mouser order (not ordered) so soldered them on today. First one came up without issue but had an issue with - No Pit Probe - on the second, had a good look round and couldn't see...

Thanks guys, We will both be running blowers and servo's. Cheers, Jon.

Hi All, Just getting ready to bring 2 HM's to life and am a bit confused PSU wise. I have the 5v microUSB PSU for the Pi and have just ordered a 12v 5A psu for the blower. Do you actually need both as I can't find a definitive answer? Cheers, Jon.

Have to say that Petes boards are high quality and the boards arrived very quickly : Many thanks!!!! Jon.

Thanks Ralph, This is the one I'm hoping to use: http://www.servodatabase.com/servo/jr/591 Cheers, Jon.

Just wondering how many of you are all in the UK and have built a HM? I'm just waiting for all the bits to arrive from here, there and everywhere. Would love to find UK sources and recommendations for sources of parts in Europe. Cheers, Jon.

I doubt we do and doubt they would be able to provide them. Mind you these days they may be manufacturing for Maverick et al, the volume thing always works. Jon.

That's the problem, I certainly wouldn't be doing it to make a living; just helping out fellow hobbyists in the UK. It would only be worth ordering maybe 25 each quarter as such a small number of people here appreciate great Q. That said, Asda (part of WalMart) have been offering a really...

Thanks Tom, Just got off the phone with them and that's what they told me, won't ship to the UK as you can buy in the UK via ETI... UK price per probe £9.60 inc VAT, US price $7.50 (£4.50) Many thanks for the links :) I work for a company that has several US offices and colleagues going over...
