Trying to tackle this issue again. My LEDs blink once when power on. I have continuity on all the green lines on the right of Ralph's schematic. In checking continuity, I noticed that I was getting a strong signal via the orange line and also the correct green line. Could this be the issue...

Hi David, I too have a Vision Classic B. What PID settings did you end up going with? Interestingly I just updated my image to fix a wifi issue and my PID controls don't have Bias and a few other options. I'm using the development snapshot for a Raspberry Pi B. Thanks!

Hello all, I'm having problems with my wifi signal dropping. If I notice no activity on my phone, I'll simply unplug the edimax wifi dongle and put it back in. I'm on a Raspberry Pi B, reformatted my SD card, reapplied the image received from download page...

EDIT: Disregard! I updated the image one more time and it looks to finally has taken. ------------------------------------------- Guys, I've been running an older version of the s/w for a few years now. Today, i decided to get the latest and greatest. I have a raspberry pi B, grabbed the...

I'm using one of the original microdampers. I was reading on that thread that they switched fans, so may need to look into that. My exhaust vent was open 2/3 of the way.

And it went out again with plenty of lump left. I've reset it and building the temp back up...

HA! Yes, fire was out, but it left half the basket untouched. I quickly gave it a shake, added more lump and restarted. Fans been working hard...

So, half my fire went out last night, so had to start it back up this morning... I'm doing two pork shoulders on a Vision Classic B Kamado. Using default PID settings. This is the first run using my kick ash basket. http://slowsmoking.hopto.org

Ok, well that fixed the backlight that I didn't know was an issue :) Unfortunately, still have the black square. I checked continuity on front and back of display and all is good. Is there another spot that controls the display signal? I'm wondering if I tweaked something when I put it in...

RalphTrimble - thanks for the suggestion on testing the LCD Board. I did that and found no continutity on the 15 pin. Anyway to do a jumper on that?

Thanks for the diagram. I went though and checked all the continuity between the green lines and they checked out fine. Do you still recommend reflowing?

Well, need to bring this thread back unfortunately. All is functional, but the display. I must have tweaked something when I put it in the case as its back to black squares. I checked the continuity on the ones were I had to add jumpers and all is good there. Before it went to the black...

Let me know if you need anymore testing stateside! I'm in the market of choosing a fan damper design and like what you have to say about your design.

I found a local 3D printer so I forwarded him the designs. He is asking me what thickness I want it printed at? "3 layers at 0.1mm layer thickness, and a 10% infill" or he could change it to "0.15mm" which would be less expensive. What thickness have people been printing at? Thanks!

Gentlemen, thanks! Steve_M, thanks for the suggestion of jumping the two bad leads - that fixed it! Bryan, thanks for the work around to test the s/w install. That gave me hope that this project could be rescued! I'm happy to report I'm getting the LCD to show '-No Pit Probe-'. Now to...

Bryan, rookie mistake, yes that is a anti-static bag the pics were taken on. I was able to run 'avrupdate' successfully. At least I don't see a 'fuse error'. Steve_M, looks like i'll have to look into adding a jumper wire.

Starting from the left, straight lines 2 & 4 made my analog multimeter twitch only a bit. The rest of them were no problem.

Something def happened to that SD card. I've replaced and flashed it. I don't see any errors on the screen this time, but LCD still shows black squares. I feel that we are making some progress.

Steve_M, I just booted up the raspberry pi to the tv and all looks good, I saw no errors. When I connect it back to the heatermeter, the display then starts producing errors: Bob, it wasn't until I adjusted the blue dial that I saw the black squares.

Hello all. I need some advice for troubleshooting. Its my first time with a project like this! I finally finished all the soldering for now (Need to get case to finish installing leds). I wrote to my SD card and inserted it as instructed here. Its being powered via the Raspberry Pi B. The...
