    Stable Firmware Release v14

    I am happy to report that the development snapshot successfully loads the optional packages on the A+. I seemed to have misreported my results above using the snapshot version. Version v14 definitely does not work for me. Staying up to 2am trying various things may have something to do...

    Stable Firmware Release v14

    I am somewhat new to the software release process of heatermeter terminology. I have tried both available Gzip'ed files using the preconfigured network download options at https://heatermeter.com/dl/. Both gave segmentation faults using opkg via command line and no packages listed in...

    Stable Firmware Release v14

    I finally got v12 successfully reinstalled and the available packages work fine. I think I'm going to stay at an older version.

    Stable Firmware Release v14

    I am using the Pi A+. I tried the V14 image a few times again with no luck. I also swapped out for a fresh SD card with the same result. For some reason I cannot get the packages to show up like before. I am out of ideas after spending a couple hours trying different things and even trying...

    HM software upgrade.

    Is there any way to get a backrev gzip file? I'm not 100% sure which one, but I would like to try v13 and v11. I see the tags in github for both versions, but can't find the *.gz file.

    Stable Firmware Release v14

    Still no luck. This is a fresh image v14 release that it quite working on. The previous release ~v11 worked ok. I did restore a backup from v11 to v14 and then the packages were populated, but the linkmeter tab was empty saying it couldn't communicate with the AVR. So I reflashed it and the...

    Stable Firmware Release v14

    I'll try again with the development version. I did comment out the linkmeter URL and rebooted several times, but no luck with loading a list of packages. Commenting it out does remove the error that I was initially seeing.

    Stable Firmware Release v14

    I just updated the HM firmware from https://heatermeter.com/dl/. I loaded the file using the web browser and pointed to the v14 release. The previous version was from the 2016 timeframe (v11 I think). After the update, the extra packages that I installed from the System>Software menu were no...

    Why mess with fans?

    I'll start a separate thread once I have this more dialed in. Did you mean TEMP_OUTADJUST_CNT instead of PID_OUTADJUST_CNT? That is the only one I see in the new grillpid_conf.h.

    Why mess with fans?

    Wow! Thank you Brian. I will have to borrow an oscope from work and try it out. I am familiar with the piece of code in grillpid.cpp that you are talking about since that is where I changed the 10000ms to 2000ms. The _CNT variable and "period" was throwing me off as I didn't have a full...

    Why mess with fans?

    Re: Filesystem. Makes sense on 64MB of user space. I guess I'm interpreting the fdisk output incorrectly. I was able to get "mini-Python" to install. I wasn't sure if I had some weird anomaly occurring where it was filling up the card with Gig's of data. Re: 2 sec update. I have some...

    Why mess with fans?

    Bryan, Thank you for the insight. For whatever reason I did receive an email notification of what probably was your first post. Using the GPIO on the PI makes sense. "Duh" on my part. Hopefully if I setup a PWM signal (slow ~50Hz or so output for analog out, not servo) on the PI that the...

    Why mess with fans?

    I wonder if the RFM12 is not being used that i could repurpose the /RF_SEL pin on PB2 to a servo PWM output. I am interested in creating a direct PWM output that could be set via a bash script. I'd like to set an analog output from a script and PWM seems like the most promising approach. I...

    Reading Pit Temperature with bash script

    Thanks Steve. I am not familiar how to tap into the JSON stream. From the quick search I did it looks something like using curl and probably piping into jq to parse the desired fields. For the ash script I had to use "PitTemp=$(lmclient LMGT,pcurr0)". This allowed me to get a number for...

    Reading Pit Temperature with bash script

    Ah, to answer my own question. I didn't have good results into the forum search and had better luck through Google. I am in the process of learning the scripting features of the Heatermeater and haven't run across the available options of the lmclient. I found someones email code to read the...
