    Home Depot could not even find a box before shipping this

    One other thing, When I joined this website, back in 2010 or so. I lived in Illinois, and although I was not working in Huntley in 2010, I did work in that small town for 3 years prior. Which makes this kinda neat for me, lol

    Home Depot could not even find a box before shipping this

    So, I have been learning some stuff from a reddit group. The sticker on top is what they call a RTV sticker. This means this grill was a returned item or a damaged item that usually gets sent to RLC. I assume RLC is where return items go before being discounted and sold as is. This grill...

    Home Depot could not even find a box before shipping this

    I'm doing a maintenance shift at a UPS facility and as I was walking back from a small job, I saw a few UPS employee looking at this Weber gas grill. They told me that a driver picked it up from a Home Depot, today. It had the shipping label taped to the side shelve and some parts just sliding...

    Cannot connect my HeaterMeter to my WIFI network

    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.

    Rotodamper

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

    Rotodamper

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

    If you have noise issues, it may be the RPI or the connection to the RPI.

    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...

    .stl files for roto damper and older HeaterMeter case

    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

    Bad connection, dying Pi?

    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...

    Are they still available

    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?
