I lost mine, a 1x round lego piece fits perfectly.:kingsford:

it's on the mouser project list. If you're getting a case, you can 3D print one cheaper than ship a single cap.

It's likely that you need to use another port besides 80 (http default) to get to your home IP. A lot of ISPs block port 80 for personal accounts (so you can't run a web hosting business from your house). RubenP.heatermeter.dynds.org:8080 then on your router, forward requests from...

got a 1/4" impact? Friction weld the case halves :) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000GYLGU8/tvwb-20

I could chip in 1 or 2 a week. Hell, my Da Vinci has been idle for the last 2 days, first time I've been in the office & not having something printing since I got it in Nov. I've never offered because I don't want to undercut Tom/Matt/Ralph who actually did the CAD work, which for me, is the...

Look into wireless repeater mode. Sometimes called client-repeater, range extender, etc. "bridge" mode on the one linked here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00DTPYRTI/tvwb-20 I'm planning to pick one up at some point - Some of the places I go for work have sketchy wifi - gotta stand...

You could use a portable router/repeater (or your 'dedicated AP'). take the load off the host Wifi system might make it more stable, you can control access, you can probably set it up w/DNS service as well.

Ralph, I think what he means is that once you overshoot on the keg, if the RD is at 0 opening, by the time the temp drops enough to cause the servo to re-open, the fire is out. It needs a bit of air, which will make the temp drop slower, but will keep the fire going. He needs to 'fool' the HM a...

Also, maybe leave the CI grate out until it over shoots the 1st. QUICKLY open & add it. That will suck up some of the 'excess' heat & speed up the reaction. HM will eventually see that it is easy to overshoot & slow to come down, then start to control it better. It just takes time to learn...

The keg is about the most insulated kamado around, it will take a LONG time to drop temp no matter what you do. At start up, the HM doesn't know that - it needs time & data to 'learn' how to control the pit. PID settings wont matter in your case (yet, you gotta be 'in control' before PID does...

I have a couple of the 8GB of these kingston cards- RPi2 boots fine on Rasplex

Thermodynamics is a *****. I suspect the reason you got smoother response after reducing your max fan speed is that @100%, you are pushing too much cool air into the camber, lowering the temp, causing the HM to call for MORE air, until the fire catches up. Then it gets real hot real fast...

My suggestion is the stock settings. The PID shouldn't do a whole lot & you really don't have that much variation. Zoom out & the line will be smoother....I'm guessing your response time is too slow, so the PID thinks it needs to add power, until it starts to overshoot. A simple explanation...

It's hard to say without knowing what you are controlling, but you PID settings look like the B & P settings could cause what your graph is showing. B=0, rest to stock settings & see what it does.

What did you use to 'clean' the solder? It looks nasty. Can't say 100%, but I think I even see a few 'whiskers' near the SMD components, you might have shorts, especially if the component side looks like that (under DIP chips, the reaction was probably worse). Hopefully it's just residue, not...

Funded, we'll see what happens.

Flux is soon to be both a savior & a curse word :) Good luck Get some braid if you don't have it - solder sucker won't take all the solder off. It won't detach parts, it will just pull the 'puddle' off the board. If you get it apart, you'll need braid to pull the solder out of the hole so...

FWIW, I think the HM makes squiggly lines because it takes a lot more data than is needed to cook BBQ. You could probably sample every 5m & then adjust output/temp & have a smoother line, but the BBQ would still taste the same. Zoom out, step back, take a drink of beer & enjoy the ride. I...

I think my roll of aluminum tape was 5$, way less than 10$. I got it at either walmart or Menards. It's not that big, I'd bet a contractor would want a bigger roll, but damn, $60 for tape?
