I have a few Spark Cores. An HM-type device would likely be different with a Core. I would forget about the display screen and button input (this functionality would be on your phone), so I think I/O pins would be OK. I'm pretty sure the meat would taste identical, though, so not much point...
Nice1 Jason. I'll be installing mine in a small Pelican case so I can keep my probes inside when not in use. I'll just make a panel to fit inside and mount everything below it. Got my RPi yesterday, HM4 board last week, parts are trickling in....
just to follow up, I heard back from him. He got busy with other things and had to leave the tinkering on that behind. He now uses a BBQGuru, which he says isn't as steady accurate as his method, but is good enough. I find that pretty encouraging.
