    INTRODUCING: the "Roto Damper"

    Thanks, I'll post it over there as soon as I try it out and confirm the muffin fan will do the job. Sorry about the thread drift! Dan

    INTRODUCING: the "Roto Damper"

    Only adhesive was 5 min epoxy on the servo mount and the arm to brass damper, no heat. Also a ring of silicone around the pet bowl. If you notice, I have installed a muffin fan in this one. I have not tried it out yet and probably won't for a long time as I just ordered Big Green Egg. The...

    INTRODUCING: the "Roto Damper"

    For what it's worth this is how I made the variable dampers without one of those nice 3D printers. They are made from 3 1/2 inch PVC and the end caps are called Test Caps which I found at menards. You can get the brass sheet from ACE or about any hobby shop. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]...

    INTRODUCING: the "Roto Damper"

    Phillip, Don't let my experience and thoughts discourage you. Three dampers did work and I was using the default PID values which were not designed for this application. If you add a fan to one and fiddle with the PID you would probably end up with what you are looking for. Good luck and I...

    INTRODUCING: the "Roto Damper"

    I actually did this. By daisy chaining 2 Y-harnesses (available at hobby store) I drove 3 servos no problem. I made variable opening dampers, I will try to find the pictures which are around here somewhere. My first attempt was actually with just 1 and as you guessed was not enough air. I...

    LinkMeter v10 Release

    Switched to my gmail account and all is well. Don't know if it worth your time to fix ATT/Yahoo if they are only service with a problem. Thanks, Dan

    LinkMeter v10 Release

    I am assuming it is configured correctly as I am getting emails from it. The SMS is a just an email sent to my phone number but maybe there is something wrong there. Dan

    LinkMeter v10 Release

    I'm not able to get SMS to work. Getting emails just fine. I'm on ATT and it appears you have the correct suffix for the number. I tried sending a text from my mail program and it works fine so it's not my phone. Thanks for the update! Dan

    1963 Weber Product Catalog

    Wow! That $75 Western Grill would be equivalent to $572 today! That's according to a consumer price calculator I found. That's darn expensive for 1963, no wonder my Dad didn't have one.

    Servo working now. Thanks Bryan, this latest revision is going to be really nice working servo and fan together. Dan

    LinkMeter v9 Release

    Upgraded to 9 and all works great except for the servo. The servo when plugged in goes greater than 90 degrees against stop in same direction no matter what numbers are put in for pulse duration. I did notice to use the full us instead of a factor of 10, so that's not the problem. I checked and...

    Post your HeaterMeter graphs

    Here is a 12 hour 7.5 lb Butt cook on WSM 22. Used KB with top vent 1/4 open. This is first cook with swing open damper installed on fan. Didn't seem to make a lot of difference compared to previous cooks without damper. It's neat to see the spike at about 12:00 and how the PID dampened out...

    Problem with my HM

    Here is the one I bought. It's less than I said $22.95. Good luck! http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-CH-Camera-12V-DC-5-Amps-CCTV-Power-Supply-UL-Listed-/220813759616?pt=US_Surveillance_Security_Systems&hash=item3369869480

    Problem with my HM

    For what its worth. First time I used heatermeter was with 1 amp wall wort. It went wacky during cook with fan on constantly and button switch not working, probe 3 went disconnected. Power cycling returned it to normal. I purchased a high quality ul approved 5 amp security camera power source...

    Is it working?

    Reading your post I didn't see where you tried to adjust the LCD potentiometer. Turn the screw one way or the other and see if your LCD starts working. If you only get the top row to show solid blocks then reflash hm.exe from configuration page and you will be good to go. As far as the part...

    47k resistors

    Thanks, Dan

    47k resistors

    Bryan, I am going to put 47k resistors in a heatermeter for 732 probes. The wiki says to replace the 10k resistors. I just want to confirm whether that means all 5 or just the 4 in a row located by the probes. My guess is the 4 in a row. Thanks, Dan
