    Well there's your problem! - No damper control

    With the servos that are being used i don't think there is a reliable way to test them. Part of the problem is we are willing to put up with cheap crap from China.Back in the late 60s we had the same problem with cheap crap from Japan, back then we quit buying it and forced Japan to improve...

    Kamado question

    Best advice from the akorn grill people was to empty the ash pan as soon as its cooled. The ash will absorb water from the air and become acidic and lead to rust problems. I got this info from the Akorn people prior to me buying my Kamado Joe. LOve my Kamado and my grandsonin law loves his...

    Not to over complicate things but keep an eye on the vent these servos (Sg90 i think ) are really cheap and i don't know how good the resolution is. This is the ability to return to the same position at o and 100 percent. One of mine stopped closing all the way, at 0 percent. Nothing major just...

    Beginner questions

    Forgot to answer another of your questions The heater meter is used to control the temp of the Kamado not the food. If your smoking ribs (yummy) you would set the heater meter for a grate temp of say 225, the HM would either blow more air in to up the temp if it starts to fall, and stop blowing...

    Ok if you have the pi zero w you will have to solder a header to it but the pi zero wh has the header already on it and everything will just plug in. Now on your heater meter you have the thermal-couple version and will need a thermal couple for the grate temp. Here is a web site that has a lot...

    Where has Bryan been, is this project abandoned?!

    Glad all is well with the family. Family has to be number one priority these are somewhat troubling and trying times the HM in the clear case looks like something that would self destruct in 10 seconds after Mr Phelps presses it and hears the message

    Paralyzed by options. Wanted to order a kit yesterday.

    Is my PI dead?

    Up date with pi removed from heatermeter and powered by a usb or a charger the pi still won't come to life so i guess its dead for sure. When pi is removed from the heater meter the voltage on the pin feeding the pi drops down to 5 volts, from 6.5 volts haven't a clue what's causing that, unless...
