Actually - isn't this entire project based on learning hardware / software -- If we were just interested in BBQ'ing then we would simply buy something off the self. I am actually interested in understanding the Arduino and Raspberry Pi and also OpenWRT - Specifically I a have worked with DDWRT and now learning OpenWRT.
Not sure exactly the source of your comment?
Here is the output in case you change your position - If not I can struggle until I get it or give up --- just seems to go against the spirit of the site. In no means do I intend to offend you as I know you have put in 1'000's of hours into this project and it is much appreciated.
