I'm curious what are people's procedures for lighting their Big Green Egg and also using a Heatermeter?

Box looks good! I just bought a 12V 7ah battery to use in a plastic ammo box. That should keep everything clean. No chance of it getting rained on and with battery power I won't have to run an extension cord every time I want to cook.

Update... I think there was a power surge. I found tripped surge protector. May have explained why the chip swapped helped?

I scrubbed the board really well. Helped some... I swapped out the ATMega chip out. All my temps were suddenly within 3 degrees of each other (all at room temp). Sounds like that took care of it. Thanks again guys! If you're ever in Columbia I'll buy you all a beer!

Rotodamper with BBQ Guru adapter plate. PID and fan settings were default when I started. I changed the max fan output to 10% when I saw that huge overshoot.

Stevensheatermeter.hopto.org It took almost 4 hours to get close to the target temp. I did change the max fan output to 10%. That seemed to help

Just curious if anyone has tweaked their PID for an extra large big green egg. I know that Brian made the default settings for a large sized egg.

Got it Heatermeter working again. Thanks for the help guys... I really appreciate it! I'm guessing a couple solder joints were the cause of the problem. When heated I heard a little flux burn off and got a tiny bit of smoke. Now the latest issue is the that the thermocouple and probes are...

Thanks Ralph! I'll give it a go with I get off work in the morning. I'm a nightshift guy... 5:30pm-4am

Steve, awesome feature! Can't wait to use it once I get my HM back up and working

Thanks Bryan! So I just hooked everything back up to the PI and plugged it in. IT'S WORKING!?!? And it crapped out again...LOL Not sure what happened...or why.... I was about to flash the EEPROM and it crapped out again. So I just flashed the EEPROM and got a message on my LCD screen...

I just put an order into Mouser for anything that may have possibly fried.

I'm going to list all the voltage readings on the ATMega chip (still plugged in). Maybe this will give you an idea of what's going on. I'm using a Fluke 189. LE1: 3.26 No Label: 3.26 MO:3.26 MI: Changing from 1V to 1.4V SCK:0 AVC:3.26 ARE:3.26 AGN:0 BTN:0 BFB:0 F03:3.22 F02:3.22...

I figured I should start a new thread for this as I had brought this up in a thread of a different topic. I'm going to try and "import" the conversation the best I can through quotes. Ralph, I found the image below and I have some of the expected voltages....others I do not. What's...

Bryan thanks for the input. I believe the actual heatermeter has taken a crap on me. I can't remember what the output was doing, but none of the probe inputs were reading. No thermocouple or probe 1 or 2. I can log into the WebUI and see the Uptime it's been turned on. Now the LCD screen...
