rPi with Hynix chip and wifi
Let me start off saying thanks to Bryan for all his hard work and insight into the Heatermeter.
I've been messing with mine for over a week, and just today finally was able to access the heatermeter web page. Seems the problem with mine was the rPi B has the Hynix chip, and I after searching, I found here that to get the board and rPi to talk to each other that I needed to change start.elf and bootcode.bin files with those from Rasbian. Ah Ha, success. I was(notice I said was) finally able to reach the Heatermeter website.
Now that I'm stoked that I'm finally making progress, I decide to set up my airlink wifi dongle with my network. I follow the steps in the How To section and get as far as step 9, but I'm unable to get my ipaddress to show in the indicated area. Well.......at the bottom of the How To page RJ mentions he had the same prob, and went to the advanced tab of the LAN and unchecked the auto start option and reboots the device. Sounds simple right.
And here is where things go wrong. I uncheck the box, reboot everything, but now I'm unable to connect to the heatermeter website.
I mess and mess with it to no avail, and I noticed during reboots, that I'm seeing more code being printed on the screen. I'm a fairly smart person, so I know that when I messed around on the website, that I changed some parameters to the heatermeter. After doing more searching I know that I can force a reflash my Atmega chip with " avrupdate /lib/firmware/hm.hex" and that should fix everything, and I'll be back in business.
WRONG!!!
And this is where I am stuck now. The heatermeter works, and so does the rPi, but I'm unable to access anything thru the web. Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry this is such a long post, just trying to give all the info I can.
