    LinkMeter v2 Homebrew BBQ Controller - Part 1

    The WiShield is pretty much a dead idea I think. It was pretty slow and really limited in capability and then they stopped making them so that's pretty much the final nail in the coffin. I'd recommend just keeping an eye out on craigslist or eBay for a used WRT54GL (I got mine for $20 shipped I...

    HeaterMeter Homebrew Controller

    yea this is perfect for what I want to do. only thing I can point out is that on the red line (food 1) is actually pit average, maybe, its the way my serial CSV output is setup. I think my C programming skills are good enough to to find the serial output and rearrange them to graph what I...

    HeaterMeter Homebrew Controller

    hey this is cool I am seeing a graph!!!! are the PID values settable? thanks so much I am thinking of providing my own 12v to the mofset and 5v to the arduino uno with both grounds together. If I let the magic smoke out of this uno Ill have to start making my own.

    HeaterMeter Homebrew Controller

    Without the WiShield, I used a pair of XBee adapters to make a point-to-point connection to a Linux box running Apache. It used bash shell scripts to read the serial data and write it to the database. What sort of infrastructure do you have available? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I have all Windows XP...

    HeaterMeter + LinkSys WiFi Router = LinkMeter

    john: this is only my opinion: Ed/Byron feel free to jump in /correct me. there are at least 3-1/2 methods of going from schematic to permanent circuit card. 1) point to point wiring-> this is the most common of what you see here. advantages: easy to see and follow from schematic to board...

    HeaterMeter Homebrew Controller

    Thanks Ed here my opinion after the initial Triage. I was impatient after I got it all in the box and didn't insulate the leads going to the fan. They shorted out to each other. I saw seeing smoke billowing out of the enclosure I pulled the power. By the time I was able to get the cover off...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    OK help me understand why I would want to go wireless. Ed said a while back that the Arduino only knows how to do serial only anyway. Am I correct in my understanding that the WiShield adds flash memory so it stores all of the data needed to build the cool looking web page and the data needed...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    The main complication is the fact that the Arduino pins aren't spaced properly, the distance from D7 to D8 is 0.17". If you build on any perfboard you're going to have to drill your own holes for the pins to go through to get them to mate properly. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Offset headers will take...
