I agree with everything above with the addition of making sure to read the silkscreen on the board you get. Some of the hardware walkthrough's don't match up to the kits that are shipped out of the HM store, but the screens match the components perfectly. I used the walkthroughs as a guide and...
If you're out and about and want to change settings on the fly, use an Ethernet cable with a laptop. Set the ip of the laptop to be static and use 192.168.200.2. The HM defaults to 200.1 when outside of a network and router setup. From there you can connect directly to the HM when powered up by...
I have 3 4.2.4's running, along with a 4.1. I have a 4.2.4 in the bag ready to assemble. I use 4 because of the large cooks I do, and the amount of info that I like to have.
Yeah it certainly is handy for sure. I got annoyed with having to turn off the wifi connection to go back to getting regular Internet data for use on my device, but it certainly is a handy thing to be able to switch back and forth. The edimax is an amazing little device, I do find that with a...
What I did was to create a small router/AP using a raspberry pi. There were several walkthrough's available and ended up being a fun little project. I have my 3 heatermeter's set to recognize it automatically on power up. Makes a good little personal network to monitor the cook when I travel...
Ahhhh too bad then. Appreciate your input Bryan, I see what you are saying and am slapping my forehead a bit. I think what I may do is build a separate Pi running on one of the distros and get this running as my companion computer for when I travel or compete. It would be a nice project and a...
Yeah that is what I am afraid of really. I don't know how much this would mess with the current config. It would require a breakout of some kind I think. However, the screen is only $34 so it makes it a VERY appealing thing to think about for me. Imagine if we could get our graph pr0n right on...
Hi there,
Getting ready to build a new heater meter when I stumbled across this small touchscreen for RPi from Adafruit.
Having built a heater meter that I gave away to a chap who was hard on his luck, I know that initial setup and taking the unit into new networks can be a bit of a pain...
Hey there, if you have a Google Glass device and would like to use it with the Heater Meter, I have a beta build of an app that will send data from the device to your Glass. You will have to sideload it using ADB, but it works very well. Send me a PM and I can get you the APK and instructions...
Thought you all may find it cool that there is currently a Google Glass app being developed to feed and display probe and graph info from the HeaterMeter to the device. A couple of developer buddies of mine and I were talking during the Big Android BBQ (I am the head chef for the event) and I...
Thank you Ralph, I appreciate your time to answer those questions. I had soldered the wires together correctly but got no fan movement when plugged in. I figured it was the power supply but want to get confirmation of that since I was using the USB power for initial startup. Going to order the...
