    Checking before powering on..

    Thanks Bryan ! I bet you've seen the touchscreen on tindie.. https://www.tindie.com/products/ozzmaker/piscreen-35-tft-with-touch-for-the-raspberry-pi/ Looks like the screen uses some of the pins heatermeter needs?

    Genius! Sorry for the late reply - I've been fabricating a blower housing for my big green egg. You got it with R13, 68K! I had another issue - my "up" didn't work. I had R8 (680K) and R13 (68K) swapped. I was going to look into that later.. now everything seems 100%. I'm dangerous now...

    Hi Peter, Once set to pulse, (with fan @100%) the voltage stays at 12.5V... Is that the solution? Please tell me this isn't another NOOB question! I'll need to lower a setpoint and test.. Best regards, Jeff.

    Hi Bryan, The backlight stays on, the system doesn't seem to be rebooting. The 12v (13v measured) supply is constant. Looking at my voltmeter, the voltage swing is about every 3 second from 12v to ~0v. The center pin on the power FET is doing the same. The inside pin (nearest the 4-way...

    One other question.. my blower is now attached and I'm testing. I have it set so the set temp is 220, and the pit is 63 - so the blower is 100%. The blower duty cycle is about 50%.. on for one second off for one second (roughly). Is that expected?

    Thanks Steve, I soldered it, I just left on the plastic holder.. here is a photo from the other side. I need to clip/adjust those before I get the case. Do you think having pins 6-9 soldered could do this? I have them soldered...

    Checking before powering on..

    Thanks - I powered on, no smoke! But, no display either :( The linkmeter seems OK, probe temps are changing correctly on the website, etc. (seemingly) only the LCD display is out? I've checked what I can for bad soldering, but can't locate any issues. No short from 5v or 3.3v to ground from...

    Checking before powering on..

    There are 3 places on the 4.2.4 board where the holes are very close, I couldn't avoid solder-slobbering them together. I assume they are the same trace since they are that close... Here is a photo with the concerned spots - what do you think? I wanted to check the forum before power on, cuz...

    4.2.4 Working - Which probes

    Hi John, I'm looking at the simple aligator clip probe from them.. Any reason you are using the food probe? Looking for opinion - the cost is only a few bucks difference. I like the option of a smaller probe in my cooker - I can fill it up sometimes! I'm concerned on going too small - the...

    Is a damper needed for low'n'slow?

    Thanks Bryan - I'll keep it simple as a preference.

    Is a damper needed for low'n'slow?

    Thanks Michael - that makes sense. I'll see how the build goes with a gravity damper before I start the mods - I'm sure mods are part of the fun.

    Is a damper needed for low'n'slow?

    Hello all, Starting my 4.2.4 build soon - and I have my first question. I have large BGE, and when I do a cook at 225-250, I need to shut down my dampers pretty far. It seems to me that if I hook up the blower with the full opening, the opening would be too wide to maintain 225, it would be...
