Hi Bryan, turns out the Pi must have died, the heater meter doesn't work when the pi is attached, the screen just flickers and nothing is useable, as soon as the pi is taken out of the equation, the flickering and dead machine turn on and works fine so it must be the pi, i noticed the pi's...

Sorry to bring up an old thread. But my pi zero W died around 1 year ago whilst attached to the heatermeter (I've been moving and renovating my house so couldn't look into it). My pi zero didn't have any coating on it though. When the pi is attached to the heatermeter and powered by 12v the LCD...

Thanks Bryan, Its cooking away, a brisket with a Korean BBQ marinade!!

So I've gone to use the heatermeter this morning and noticed that when it was powered up all three LEDS were flashing and the backlight to the screen with nothing being displayed, I found that when powered up the Pi zero I was using the CPU chip was red hot so I've took it apart and the boards...

Ahh cheers Bryan!! I was going to do another run today but in typical British style it's been raining all day! Yes I got the 12v fan from yourself, I know that I would only be using it between those temps aswell I cook low and slow cook sausages and pizza so hopefully once it's tuned and I...

Is it major changes in the P & D settings or just minor per temperature setting I think if I swapped from Celsius to Fahrenheit it would work better? Also my thermocouple was an open ended one with tinfoil wrapped around it. I've since ordered a stainless thermocouple probe that should also...

Yeah the more I use it the better I will get at working it out. Is there a code that could be written to "autotune" . So the system could work out the best settings to use and adjust itself to them? I owned a PID before and that had a learn feature that must of worked out the best settings and...

Initial tuning end So i got it to stabilise at 100 Celsius ish with the settings it varied about between 99 - 101 (blue arrow) P - 3 I - 0.0035 D - 9.5 FAN above 30% - 10%min - 50%max it sat quite well at 100 so i decided to ramp up to 110 (red arrow) whilst i popped for a meal it...

so it overshot slightly its only been running about half an hour near the temperature range still trying to rise back to 100 changed the fan to startup 100% other than that everything the same I will keep updating through the day system log just posted a new Peak Sun May 5 12:12:29 2019...

So after a long Hiatus and my heater meter and Rotodamper sat fully assembled in a box for nearly a year its time.... Due to house moves and family illness and to be fair the appalling weather we have here in the UK i have finally got around to Doing my initial PID tuning i've got the Pit...

Yeah the travel router is basically a mini router, just easy to attach to hotel WiFi for keeping private from there network etc. I just thought with the separate router just connecting off the tethering would work. Urgh oh well haha Do you think if I used a USB simcard Internet dongle thats...

thanks for the help guys, my router is a tplink ac750 travel router linked to my phone via tethering, i bought this specifically for the hetermeter because i can plug a usb modem into it, my wife buys and sells houses so we move too much to keep a broadband connection. if you search tplink port...

would anyone be so kind enough to help me set up my DNS server, ive registered my ddns with my router, but when i forward the ip address in the router software and check if the port is open it says its unable to access the port. i know there is a way to do this through the webui but i cant...

I may need to sit and figure this out because we're in the middle of moving house at the moment so we have no Internet at this house so I am using the mobile Internet tethering on my phone to link heatermeter to my laptop like a mini router! Il sit with the laptop see if I can get some IP...

I've gotten everything set up ready for my first cook! Was going to be this weekend but I'm waiting for my 12v plug! Il tell you how bad it is, I received a part from Bryan in florida to the UK quicker than its taken for this to arrive within the UK!!! How would I set up to stream my first fire...
