Folks - I'm starting on a 4.2.4 build this weekend to replace my old v3.2. As part of that, I was scrounging for parts and came across some old OSHPark PCB's. Like most, I bought 3x 3.2 boards when I built that one, and later I bought a 4.0 version, but got busy and never got it done...

I (and hopefully everyone else with a order) got a email from Laen about this. I had ordered a HM 4.0 board using the "store" interface (not uploading the gerbers) around Thanksgiving, and today he said: "I expect to have the next batch back from the fab on Monday, shipping on Tuesday. This'll...

Speaking of saving a few pennies...a general question. I've been starting my build with the "B" board that I have, but one of these days, I'd like to turn that into a media center. Since it looks like the "A" board may be available in the reasonably near future (in the next six months, it...

Bryan - Congratulations - I'll be looking forward to the instructions. I think I speak for a bunch of us when I say that your dedication to the project has really been outstanding. Thanks!

So, Bryan - just checking in, since it's been a month or so now - how did the board turn out?

...and one other question about the HM schematic. I can't figure out why R13 (which is the balancing resistor for the ambient temp probe) is a 22K resistor. The way I understand that voltage divider theory, a balancing resistor like that should be (roughly) equal to the resistance of the...

I'm in the very starting stages of planning my own version of a controller, and have been mining this thread extensively. I was wondering two things - first, I've seen several fans suggested here. Since I have a BUNCH of fans in my junkbox (mostly off old computers), I was wondering if anyone...

OK, so I bought a cryopak-ed brisket (flat) down at Sam's Club today to try this weekend on my new 18" WSM (this will be the second smoke). As I suspected from reading here, it didn't - quite - fit on the upper rack, but I'll plan to "squoosh" it between the handles with foil. However, this...
