    Flashing LED/Screen after dropping it

    Thanks, Steve. I have some on the way from Mouser. I'll rework those and report back. I'm also attaching a video of what is happening without the rPi connected to the board: http://vidmg.photobucket.com/albums/v615/jay_ntwr/VIDEO0394_zps3exvs7kc.mp4

    Flashing LED/Screen after dropping it

    Man, this is a bummer. I got my WiFi card today at lunch and thought I'd set up the WiFi. I had the HM, power supply, and some probes in a small back and dropped the thing. I sort of caught the bag on my foot and didn't think too much about it other than "be careful with this thing" but...

    I'm stuck with a new build

    Wow! This thing is so cool! Last night I fab'd up scrap hunk of 1.25" tubing that was in the scrap pile with a small piece of 22g sheet metal and tacked it together with the TIG torch because my wife told me "had 5 minutes and she was starting dinner in the oven". We were having Salmon...

    I'm stuck with a new build

    Ralph, I found the details about the ET-732 AFTER I'd already monkeyed around with the Config tab and didn't realize it was simply a pull down option. I changed the settings and I'm reading temperatures on all four probes! To make things better, they all read almost exactly the same (will...

    I'm stuck with a new build

    Hey, thank you guys for getting it working--I was just the helper I fell like. I did not set the probe types (I did see it in the configuration though) as the ET-732 probes really don't work well without changing the resistors on the board from what the Wiki said. It's cool, that way I can...

    I'm stuck with a new build

    Well, I have "no probes" now! I was sort of disappointed right away when I plugged in probes from Maverick Redi Chek and still had "no probes". Then, I read that not all Maverick probes are created equally and I have the ET-732 probes with my current Maverick thermometer. I pulled them out a...

    I'm stuck with a new build

    Ok, so I hit all three legs of the 3.3v regulator and both sides of the resistor the blue resistor closest to the ATMega and both of the small 0.1 microfarad caps just to make sure that there was solder on both sides of the board on all of them. I'm not sure that the connection on the top side...

    I'm stuck with a new build

    Oh no! Yes, I was trying not to get them too hot as I didn't want to have any melted components. I'm sure that some of my stuff is only cleanly stuck on lead side and not also on the component side.

    I'm stuck with a new build

    Ok, Ralph. Now it's narrowed down. I have 3.3V at the MCP1700-33 (and I double checked and it's on flat side doward the capacitor like it's supposed to be) and I'm also getting 5V on the 5V pin too so it's working. I'm not sure which resistor your talking about but I think it's the 10k ohm 1%...

    I'm stuck with a new build

    Steve, I pushed and it snapped in just a bit deeper but not much. I'm still not getting 3.3V on the in that yellow circle though. The voltage comes up between 0.89-0.92 on all the 3.3V orange pads in the yellow circle. If I take out the ATMega, I don't get any voltage on the orange pads...

    I'm stuck with a new build

    Ralph, Thanks! Yes, I did put the image on the SD card on from my Windows machine to the SD using the Win32 Disk Image software so I should have gotten that part right (I'm used to doing this with Android phones during root/recovery install). After probing some more, it appears that I'm not...

    I'm stuck with a new build

    I built up the 4.2.4 board this morning and I think the soldering went well but now I'm not sure what is wrong. I put the RPi board on, put the SD card in with the image already flashed on it and screwed the case from Tom shut. I then applied 12VDC to the HM and nothing happened (which also...
