    Odd Temperature Readings with multiple probes

    I've been using my HM without issue for a few months now, but hadn't ever tried more than 2 probes (thermocouple and a single food probe) until the other day when I tried connecting a second probe. I did some boiling water tests today and here are my results. I have three probes Probe A =...

    Cat5 Plug Design

    I used a blank RJ45 connector as Ralph suggested. However, you do have to crimp it first. It won't fit with the pins sticking out of the bottom. It doesn't need a wire inserted, just push the pins down so they are flush or counter sunk into the connector. If you don't have an RJ45 crimper, you...

    First cook was a success - but WiFi stopped working after

    Update: Got the HM back up and working. I loaded the SD card (the one that worked for my first cook) with Raspbian and tried connecting to a few HDMI monitors/TVs at work. No HDMI output, and no recognition from the hardwired router (wouldn't see the rPi as a connected device). I loaded NOOBS...

    First cook was a success - but WiFi stopped working after

    Understood. I don't expect you to be my personal troubleshooter. And I am certainly not blaming you for any of this. I know you had it working. I know that _I_ had it working. I don't know what I could have possibly done to make it stop. To address some of your comments: - Settings: I didn't...

    First cook was a success - but WiFi stopped working after

    This thing is AFU. No HDMI output from the rPi either when mated to the HM or not. With no pit probe in, it shows 42-degrees on the pit probe. When I plug in a probe, it jumps to 600-degrees. I tried reloading the SD, no changes. Still can't get any network connection, wired or wireless. All...

    First cook was a success - but WiFi stopped working after

    Yeah, I don't know what to say, either. My flashing the SD didn't cause this issue as I was connected to my network through multiple reboots this afternoon, then for my stable cook. As far as PushBullet, I was looking for a way to get alerts to my phone - using a thread that was started back...

    Reseated SD card. Reseated rPi. Left everything in the case with the back attached. Left everything in the case with no back. Still no wireless or wired connection.

    First cook was a success - but WiFi stopped working after

    After a long, difficult build and a rescue from RalphTrimble, I managed to run through my first HM cook tonight. We did a pork tenderloin. The RD3 was attached to my Kamado Joe Classic with a piece of cardboard, so not the most stable cook. [/url]PorkTenderloin[/IMG] After I powered down, I...

    INTRODUCING: the "Roto Damper"

    Costco hasn't update the KJ Road Show link yet, but here are all of the Costo events. http://www.costco.com/special-events.html Click on your region, then you can do a Find in your browser for 'Kamado'. Ralph, unfortunately, it doesn't look like there is one in your area this quarter.

    INTRODUCING: the "Roto Damper"

    I've not seen KJs go "on sale", however, you can find discounted KJs at the Costo Road Shows. That's how I bought mine. Unfortunately, the most recent shows ended yesterday, but the new list should be posted soon here: http://www.costco.com/kamado-joe-schedule.html They tend to stick to the...

    New build - LCD question

    Nice! Thank you! It had to be a workmanship error, I just couldn't find it. Everything seems to be breaking on me lately. Airbag light in my car came on, throttle wire snaps on my lawnmower, get the airbag fixed, the radio dies in my car, work phone crashes, 3 days later my work laptop...

    New build - LCD question

    Again, I have a Yes and No answer. I set the Red LED to "Output > 0%" and the Pit Target Temp to 225 and Saved the config. When I push the stick to the left, the web interface shows me Lid Open and the Yellow light comes on (the Yellow is set for Pit Open). I can only get the lights to turn on...

    Got it. LCD doesn't work that way, either. Same result.

    New build - LCD question

    Oh yes. I turn that thing just about every time I plug it in. The whole way to the left, I get both lines of boxes. About 1/8th turn to the right and the bottom line disappears. Another 8th turn and the top disappears. The screen remains blank through the rest of the turn to the right. Do you...

    New build - LCD question

    Sadly, I lost my True RMS meter somewhere in a move. I have a little Greenlee that gets me through most everything I need.
