Hi, Your inbox is full so i can't PM you, Can you supply a built 4.3 board with TC and a case. Also what colour's do you print? Thanks Tom.

I use the HM just for temp monitoring, i don't need the fan function as i have a pellet grill. I wanted more probes than the mavericks have and 4 probe devices weren't yet available so i built a HM and haven't looked back..

Quick thought, are you changing the ip on your desktop/laptop to the same range. I change my desktop ip to 192.168.200.5 to connect to the default HM ip and change back when i'm done.

I would check both the probe and the dome thermometer with boiling water to see how much difference there is. My thermoworks probes are pretty much dead on 212. Also the readings from the probe and dome thermo is the temperature at that location. So grate can be different to chamber, you could...

They look round but are only slightly curved, they work for me :-)

Why not buy a few of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Temperature-Controller-K-Type-Thermocouple-Probe-Sensors-100cm-Wire-Cable-1M-GHT-/251766709800?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item3a9e771e28 Won't break the bank and free shipping, i bought similar used the plug and threw the rest away.

Sign up for dynamic dns account like this one, it translates the ip address your ISP gives into the hostname you select. The next stage to adjust your router so that anyone entering your hostname gets directed to the heater meter homepage. To do this enter your router's config and look for a...

I've had a couple of card go belly up on me, i always use 4 or 8 gb cards and mostly branded but they could easily be counterfeit from ebay. I found for me the easiest way is to get the config the way i want and use the disk imager to make a copy plus i save the config to my desktop. I would...

I have built them here in the UK and order the parts from Mouser using the project form on the wiki. It more time efficient than trying to find the components locally.

Looks like there's a new guy on the block, out of china comes the 'Banana Pi'. A bit more powerful but could be used..

I've circled some places on the pic to look at, they look suspect...

paste 281399072142 into your ebay search. That should do it, nearly all the thermistors listed are the same spec. The more expensive ones are specialized and not required.

Search ebay for: NTC 10K thermistor, it will return loads of results.

I use these with no problems, are you using the latest software?

I have a pellet grill with a wifi controller and i'm still learning. I also use the heatermeter to monitor temps and have built a handful of them. As i don't use the servo/fan i don't need 12v so i power the HM either from a 5v USB battery bank and get around 7-8 hours or a USB phone charger if...
