I'm sorry for the very late reply, i thought i would get an email when i had a reply.....didn't. I can order a zero, but among my rpi4 i still have 2 pieces of rpi-3 over here. I ordered an assembled heatermeter (arrived today, thank you Brian), so i don't have to worry about setting up. The...

Hello there, I've been using 2 hm's for my webers for a few years now, but sadly one of them passed away..... I ordered a new one, but my intention was to use it with the newer rpi4. I have one as a spare, but is it possible to get him working with the hm? I am a guy who does everything from...

It could be that this is what happened. Don't know, but for everyone who ever will get to this problem, it's a nice manual for repairing and understanding this issue. Thank you (all) for helping me with getting to the solution!!! Hope my next post will be about brisket, pulled pork, beercan...

Well i did upgrade it, but i can't exactly recall when. Might be the last thing i did before playing with it again.... for now i'm just a happy man with, in the end, 2 working heatermeters. I would say win-win!!

Thanks for this clear and understandable info! As you may have noticed, i am not the tech-guy here, but the way you explain it, makes sence to me! For my understanding : IF this problem occurs again, i can simply replace the Atmega with a new, blank one and the rPi will do the rest? Still...

Finally the solution is here...: It took a while because the person who worked on my hm had to do this at his job, so it was laying on a shelf for a while. The problem was the Atmega chip itself! For some reason the file on the chip was damaged. When i was there with him (some weeks ago) he took...

I have mine made by someone else, but i guess that counts too? The second one is under construction, because i like to use my 3 Webers simultaneously for low and slow as well as grilling. So you can add 2 to the list.

Although it's not a very usefull update, i'm just letting you know what's happening... the new HM arrived last week (customs made it take a while to get here). I gave it to the tech-guy. He will, somewhere next week, assemble this one and hopefully see what the difference is with the new one and...

Ooooh noooo.............. I searched for days and days, as i had enough time because the neighbours colleage still had it for checking. Now i found a thread that got me a little crazy : https://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?69166-New-User-needs-someone-to-hold-his-hand It says that you should not...

I sent a link of all this posts to my neighbour, he will give it to his colleage. Allthough this man is soldering for his profession, he might have some use to all of the answers. What Ralph says about checking both sides, looks to me that is something that could be "overlooked" at. So hopefully...

Just a little update.... mr Peter F respectfully is out of time to help right now. The neighbours colleage found some errors, but didn't find the solutions yet. It isn't in the sd card, he checked the soldering parts, no problems there. Personally i think it's a fault in the chip, but that is...

I tried another (week old) card, but unfortunately didn't gave me the pleasing result. Contacted my neighbour, and he may have a colleage that can help me out with searching and maybe solving the error (for a bottle of belgium beer he said he would give it his best try). In the mean time i will...

It has crossed my mind.....maybe the card is damaged. Will try it with a new one as soon as i get home. It would be kinda great if that was the problem.... i will ofcourse keep you all updated

Sounds easy the way you say it. Too bad the midwest isn't near Belgium.....I did more soldering in the past, but that was mostly connecting cables, pretty easy. I think my iron is too big for this kind of work (and the lack of skill). Like i said, i hope mr. Peter F will be able to help me. The...

I tried the soldering of the connections, but it was very very clear to me that it's not 1 of the things somebody should ask me to do........at least not this kind of miniature stuff! I am not yet ready to give up, because i allso think it is repairable. I sent a pm to one of the members here...
