    problem whith temperature and percentual of fan

    The PID settings control how fast and how much the HM reacts to temperature changes. You mention the setpoint is 110, and note the HM output % at one or two degrees below the setpoint.... what happens when the temp gets to 110 or above? Depending on your PID settings and how rapidly the temp is...

    Community 3D Printer / Assembly / Trading Resources

    Free because it is free and I don't want anyone SELLING IT. Take for example a free piece of software or app, if you download it and then turn around and start selling it you will have issues, because that's not right. It is great for the users who get something free, but not so great to take...

    I designed the original roto damper and the RD3, I can print the parts for you much cheaper than the price of the pirated version linked above, its not a for profit venture for me... The RD3 fits the standard HM blower. Email me at rotodamper AT Hot Mail DOT COM if you are interested in getting...

    Heater Meter Newbie Help

    You can do that with a standard probe, no problem. If all you do is low and slow this may work out fine. Water could be your remaining enemy, the maverick probes I have used (I killed LOTS) died primarily from heat or water, mostly water. Thermoworks probes seem to be more water resistant...

    Heater Meter Newbie Help

    I second the TC decision, mainly because of the high heat tolerance and durability of the TC compared to a standard probes. I do use the HM for medium and high heat cooks as much or more than for low and slow, and killed too many standard pit probes along the way. The first TC I purchased is...

    Few issues....

    I am still confused. In general for the HM AP mode refers to having the HM be in AP mode, having the HM function as the hot spot. You are referring to making your phone the hotspot?... and if I read you correctly you are saying your HM will connect to your phones hotspot and it works?... but...

    New HM 4.3 Build HM Not Communicating

    Maybe these notes will help you. There are more notes on my v4.2 image so I am including it, the circuit is the same as v4.3 but the layout is different. If the center pin of Q1 is going from 0/3.3V when blower is off/full but the trace that connects Q1 to Q3 isn't going from 12/0V you probably...

    Few issues....

    I have a hard time following what you are trying to say, or ask here? (above) From the parts I do understand it sounds like your HM connected to your router at some point but is not currently connected. That would explain not showing up in the routers device list. I would suggest you...

    PitDroid: An Android app for your HeaterMeter

    Thanks for the tip on the min/max settings, however, I have changed the max setting but the scale did not change on the dial? I still can't get it to connect even though I can connect to the HM via web browser from the same device? Last update shows no data, temps do not display on the dial...

    Thermocouple variation -defect?

    RE: grounding issue... I do prefer ISOLATED thermocouples as opposed to grounded ones. What kind of thermocouple are you using?

    New HM 4.3 Build - Wonky Pit Probe Port Issue

    You dont have the TC amp (SMD) components on your HM board, right? If not there are literally only 3 components between the probe jack and the ATMega to check.... The pit probe connects to the corner pin in the ATMega...

    Kudos to Bryan!

    Maybe one TC is isolated and the other isn't?

    New HM 4.3 Build - Wonky Pit Probe Port Issue

    The probe circuit is quite simple, see below: There is one resistor in series with the probe jack and one capacitor in parallel, plus an additional resistor in parallel for standard probes. Check solder on all those components for Probe 0, and if you have excess flux around there wash it with...
