I would redo the SD card and skip adding the wifi stuff. That way the HM will have its own Wifi IP address and then you can connect to it and then go into the setup page and locate your wifi. This way you know for a fact you can actually connect to your board and it maybe a router issue.

I also like to say, I never posted them either on thingyverse or any other webpage.

The Rd3, the Rotordamper, I believe was the first damper made for the Heatermeter. Then others started to make their own damper variations

Yeah, i can print in any color and material

Im not as proficient at electronics to figure stuff out like this, lol. If you do decide to give that a try, what the worse that could happen, if it does not work, then just remove the circuit and solder it back together again

Sorry I took so long to reply, I have already tried multiple values of caps and on the thermocouple circuit. I bought a smd 805 cap kit(book) that has just about every value you would ever need. I didn't see any improvement. Basically, I was holding the right side connections for the Rpi...

I never really ran into this before so I thought I would make a post about my recent build. I was making a HM and I got it up and running and the Thermocouple was just giving me all kinds of noise. I first thought it was the new amps I recieved from a vendor I never used before, so replaced...

Nothing wrong with printing an oversized damper, if you know how to use the max blower speed setting on the HM. For a UDS sized grill the stock blower is to small to actually make any meaningful temperature changes. Will it work in summer or warmer climates, probably. It won't work when it's...

I have files for the larger RD25 also if someone wants a 30+cfm Rotordamper

I had similiar issue with my 3d printer. I recently updated my printer to a Duet 3 wifi board and it came with sd card with the needed files to get the board up and running. SD card looked good on my computer but soon as I put it in the printer the wifi and the sd card slot itself would...

Unfortunately, I don't think there will be a version 5 of the HeaterMeter. But, I also don't think it really needs to be updated. I mean what else do we need on the HeaterMeter?

I ment to reply to your comment, not mine, lol

I just did a parts check this morning while at work. If you go by the Wiki, alot of the Resistors have been obsolete basically the company that made them is no longer the same company. So, you have use substitute components. The major components are all available, except for the buttons...

Why is it complex? For the average person, who has never soldered, yes it's a very complicated thing to do, but from what you describe that's not what makes the HM complicated. It's all ready to be loaded onto the Rpi and HM via SD card in a fairly simple process. The instructions, could...

Yes, all the parts are very much available
