I was going to try that today! 😀

Yes the heatermeter display is showing probe temperatures and I can push buttons to see settings. The problem is on the configuration webpage there’s nothing.

Thanks for your help. I have made progress but still not out of the woods. The HeaterMeter now does connect to WIFI. When I pen HeaterMeter.com/devices, I see the heatermeter there and I can open it by clicking on the IP address. So WIFI is good. However, under the Available column, it says...

Hi Ed. Answers below: 1. Yes the SD card I am using was previously written with an RPI image. I tried formatting it and rewriting with the Win32 Disk Imager using the file I downloaded from heatermeter.com/dl 2. I'm using Windows 10 file manager. I also have q Windows program called SD Card...

I checked and there.is not a valid windows partition on the SD card. I don't see a Windows partition on the SD card. Its just one partition that Windows wants to format.

I made a bunch of typos in this post because I was on my phone. I didn't see a way to edit the title so I created a new with a better explanation of the problem. the SD card doesn't have a valid partition that Windows recognizes as far as I can see. Thanks for responding. Looks like this forum...

I downloaded the latest firmware after filling in my WiFi network settings, and used the windows tool to write the image to a 32g sandisk micro-sd card. I inserted the freshly imaged SD card it into the Raspberry Pi and powered the heater meter on. It comes up and displays ok on the HeaterMeter...

I downloaded the latest firmware after filling in my WiFi network settings, and used the windows tool to write the image to a 32g sandisk micro-sd card. Plugged it into the Raspberry Pi and powered the heater meter on. It comes up and displays ok, but never connected to my WiFi. I’m sure I...

Ah good idea!

Ralph, The adapters sold by BBQ Buru seems to just be steel plates with a hole in them. I made one for myself a couple years ago and connected a MicroDamper to it with a 1" nipple. The problem with this is that you cannot easily remove that plate when you are grilling (vs smoking). The stock...

I sent a note to the HeaterMeter store begging for a replacement BS170 transistor so I can get the last baseboard up and running. Now I just need to solve the problem mounting to a large BGE. I don't like the solutions that are out there because you have to use the heatermeter for normal...

Big day - Found the problem on the base board and it is now working. All that remains is the 2nd baseboard which has a clear problem with the transistor witha broken lead.

Ah fixed the 2nd LCD/Button board! It was a cold solder joint on pin 1 of the Potentiometer. Ok both LCD/Button boards are working. I found a broken pin on one of the BS170 transistors on one of the 2 bad base boards, so I'll need to get hold of a spare to fix that. I'll focus on getting the...

Progress! One of the two button boards now works. I found a pad missing solder and that fixed it. For the remaining board I did all you recommended and there is a problem with the voltage in the CNT pin on the display. It is 4.95 volts and not changing with the pot. I checked with the meter to...
