First, very glad that there are super smart people out there willing to dedicate their time and skills to projects like the heater meter, blowers, link meter etc. Your work and dedication is truly awe inspiring! So I'm very familiar with soldering and other electronic diy stuff. The idea of this heater meter really appeals to me, but I'm starting to get a little concerned about assembling the whole kit from so many different places and at some point my time becomes worth something. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like I'll need to order:
1- heater meter kit and case from the shopify store $112
2- case $21
3- raspberry pi b $45
4- Wi-Fi adapter $10
5-thermocouple probe ($5-$75???)
6-3x regular probes ( 3x$16=$48)
7- blower housing($??? Buy from forum member with 3d printer?)
8-tower hobbies servo for blower ($5-10+ shipping)
So with all this stuff it looks like I'm buying from 5 or 6 places...the shopify store, Amazon, ThermoWorks, forum member, Tower Hobbies, and then probably a trip to Lowe's/HD for some adapters for my Primo grill. It's looking like well over $250 plus time to order, assemble, setup, test, debug etc....
So I've got a couple of blunt questions.
1- what in particular does the heater meter do that the $329 CyberQ kit doesn't?
2- how much should I expect to pay for a blower housing from a forum member?
3- which exact thermocouple do most people use for the grill temp?
Thanks again for all your hard work and dedication to this project, and I look forward to joining the community.
