I assembled my first HeaterMeter v4.1.4. Installing the software it hangs up at this spot. What am I doing wrong?

I have the same problem with my new build.
I get a litter farther but get a screen telling me how to make a cocktail.
I assumed that you would only need the openwrt-rpi.zip file correct and not any of the other files.
All i get on my HM led screen are blocks.
Any help/tips/trouble shooting would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a screen on how to make a cocktail, you should be good to go.

Hookup a network cord, plug power it in, wait for the ip address to show on the LCD, navigate to that IP via a web browser and setup your options.

Ok so I plug in a network cord into the Rpi and I should see a ip address on the LCD nav to that ip and I should be able to config the HM?

Yes, The ip will only show for a couple of seconds The default user name is root and there should be no password. (Highly recommend you set one after logging in)

You can run 'ifconfig' to see your IP after you login

It should detect a blank chip and flash with the HeaterMeter software. However, if it's not a "factory fresh" atmega, it might abort to preserve anything already on the chip. If you see the mixed drink recipe try typing `avrupdate` and it will attempt to flash the chip again. If you see something like this

Then the flash was successful and maybe you need to adjust your contrast potentiometer (the small blue part next to the LCD) with a small screwdriver. If that makes no difference, then you've got a bad connection to the LCD/shift register somewhere. Does the LCD backlight come on?

Is it normal not to see the "no pit probe" message when you first power up the HM 4.1.4?

If there is no probe connected to the pit probe connector, you will see that. If you do have a probe connected then something is wrong and you need to check solder and make sure all components are correct.
 
I've tried a couple things. I have 3 different SD cards I've been trying with the install image from the wiki link. According to the "console hang" wiki I can press enter and get the cocktail. ifconfig says the ip address as 192.168.200.1 but I have an Apple Airport which assigns ip addresses as 10.0.1.1. I cannot connect to the HearterMeter from my browser. Is there a way I can get the HeaterMeter to change the ip address?

And I do not get the "no pit probe" on the display.
 
Joel, the things I posted above apply to you as well. Your SD cards are fine, there's nothing wrong with your OpenWrt, but either the AVR isn't flashing or your contrast is wrong.

ifconfig only will show you the first address assigned to the ethernet adapter which is the 192.168.200.1 address. To see what dhcp address it got, you can use `logread` then look for
Code: 
Jul 21 23:21:20 OpenWrt daemon.notice netifd: lan (499): Lease of 192.168.2.12 obtained, lease time 86400
Except in your case it will be like 10.0.1.x probably
 
Thanks Byron. I found my address but it still won't connect and it doesn't display the "no pit probe" which makes be think I have a bad connection.

Take a few close up pics of your heatermeter board and post them to somewhere like flickr, dropbox, google drive, etc. to see if we can spot anything obvious.

Here's the front and back. I did mess up the initial install of 74HC595 8-Bit Shift Register and installed another one. The soldering iron got a little close to the Rpi connection and its a little melted but I fixed that.
