Huh. Maybe I didn't have that one on TC. Ah well, it seems to be working now so I won't complain.

Thanks Steve! When I first got root access I remember changing these to ET-732. But after reflash looks like they went back to ET-72/73. My probes are off an ET-733, I'm thinking they will be the same if not really close to ET-732 probes. I will be getting a TC for the pit probe. Read reasonable...

I have not installed resistors yet for TC since I'm hoping to do a damper setup with the RDTC and was told not to put those on right now, but I wanted to get a jumpstart on the build. So right now my pit temp is giving me wild temp fluctuations, which I'm thinking makes sense because I don't...

Eureka! Thanks for the tip. Changed my SSID and that did the trick. Router assigned IP address and I'm able to get root access through my network now. Now onto next problem. Like I mentioned before I have installed resistors yet for TC since I'm hoping to do a damper setup with the RDTC and was...

Thanks for the tip. I flashed with snapshot release and updated the config file as follows below. I took out the # before the wifi_ssid variable and the wifi_password variable and I even tried manually setting the mode to "sta" and still nothing. I can still see the heatermeter SSID being...

Just finished putting together the HM kit last night. Going well so far from what I can see. Getting weird pit temps right now, but I didn't solder in all the resistors yet as I'm planning on doing a Rotodamper setup and left the two resistors on the TC off for now so makes sense that I would be...

Ah. Gotcha. I've never soldered before so a little scared to jump into it. I bought the HM kit with TC PCB already installed so I don't have to do anything with that at least. Was hoping to find a step by step video for assembly/soldering. Yours has been the closest video for assembly I've found...

I just recently had a post asking if there were any videos like this. Thanks for the upload! Any chance we could get a raw video for people that don't have much soldering experience?

Are there any assembly videos/tutorials out there to watch? Or any other instructions with pictures that are more step-by-step (For dummies)? I've been looking at soldering videos on YouTube and I think I should be able to handle the soldering. I looked at the assembly instructions on the wiki...

I don't see a problem with that as long as we know our links will get edited. As long as it links people to the same product, why does it really matter? If it can help with site maintenance costs and provide a free forum for us I'm cool with it. I like how the forum doesn't bombard the user with...

Ordered this guy along with some desoldering wick and a magnifier. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0192PZD1Y/tvwb-20 I'll update with how it works although I have no basis for comparison since this will be my first soldering iron.

Switch route is the way I think I'd want to go then. See email I sent you with more detail. Thanks!

Are you use an RD3 or some sort of damper? How are you connecting that fan/damper setup to your air burner? I'd appreciate pics if you have them handy. I'm trying to figure out how I would want to build air burner and get an RD3 attached to it. I'm thinking I would want my air burner going...

I take reviews on Amazon with a grain of salt typically, but those do look like bad reviews. Always like to know from another source how a product is. That unit is out of my price range though anyway.

That looks like a nice unit, although maybe a bit out of my price range. Not sure how much soldering I'll actually end up doing after the HM project. I was thinking around $20 range. I did just find this one on Amazon which has decent reviews...
