I finally had time to work on this some. I have figured out how I am going to mount this on my UDS and will post more info on that after I am done. I wired up the Micro Damper last night with a temporary connection, because I was not sure how I wanted to connect it. I played with the servo...

That link says that it is .032" so that should have been helpful to you. I am sure that solder is fine. I don't know who discovered it, but some smart individual figured out that if solder is made with 63% tin and 37% lead that the transition from molten to solid is extremely fast which...

Dominick, I hope I did not steer you wrong, just putting my two cents in to try and help. I will offer some advice about soldering though. First as you have most likely already figured out "less is better" in this case. You can always add more but it is a pain to take it off. I have done...

I just saw something else in this photo of your board: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzSBmZGY0VqYXzhrVDY0V2xJTkE/view Looking at the lead of the 100K resistor nearest the TC connector. That looks like a lot of solder there, although it is kind of hard to make out from the camera angle...

I just did some more experimenting with my HM. With nothing attached to any probe input, I selected each probe type in the GUI and in each case the result was "No Pit Probe" just as you would expect (I do not have a thermistor internal, I use an external one). I then shorted the TC connector...

I thought about this more and the only way that you can be getting a temp reading with no thermocouple connected is that you must have a solder bridge somewhere that shorts pins 1 and 8 on the AD8495 or between there and the thermocouple connector pins. The thing that is baffling is that the...

I would go look at the Thermocouple circuitry and look for solder bridges. When you first built this did you go thru this procedure?: https://github.com/CapnBry/HeaterMeter/wiki/Thermocouple-Amplifier-Testing Just be sure to read the cautions about testing after the rest of the HM is built...

Actually solid wire carries slightly more current for a given wire gauge (unless you are talking high frequency) because stranded wire has a slightly higher resistance than solid for a given gauge. At high frequencies the "skin effect" comes into play where the current is only conducted on the...

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BLK0BnCODc0/VhVY8d7ZjzI/AAAAAAAAArQ/pz8lkLbMWuc/w346-h231/IMG_2970.png This looks like a "cold solder joint" it can happen if the joint gets bumped or moved while the solder is still molten. The result can amazingly produce a non-conductive connection and can...

I would be interested if there are any left, looks like a great idea!

Thanks for the info Tom, I promised that I searched before I asked! This helps me out tremendously.

I am building a replacement HM 4.0 board for an individual that has a printed case. Is there anyone that could provide me with the mounting height for the LED's to fit the 4.0 printed case correctly? I am going to space the bottom of the button 3mm off the board as per the assembly...

I have some LCD's like this too and have tried to figure out a way to use them. You can't just flip it over and connect it, by doing this you will have pin 1 of the HM connected to pin 16 of the LCD, pin 2 of HM to pin 15...etc. The only way I have used one is to solder header pins to the LCD...

Looks good! I have never thought of butterflying a turkey. I used a brine recipe I saw on the HEB website. An interesting part of the recipe was to soak hickory chips in bourbon before adding them to the fire. I also did something with the bourbon that I saw on Food Network. I soaked pecans...

I brined a turkey for 24 hours then smoked it today with the help of the Heater Meter. The results were outstanding, really juicy and just a subtle smoked flavor. I think this is going to be my yearly tradition. I also like the fact that it frees up the oven for all the other side dishes that...

The board arrived in today's mail, thank you again Bryan for this awesome deal!

I have several of the Comfast CF-WU715N adapters that work fine also, but this adapter: eBay adapter, which also uses the RT5370 chipset will not work, which of course makes no sense at all.

Maybe so, I just know that I don't like it working that way. If it would communicate consistently for at least 12 hrs, I could live with it. As I said, I am just going to sell the two model A's and get another model b so both units will be the same.

I have done a lot of testing too. I have one model B and two model A's and several Wifi adapters. The model B will run consistently for days on end without any problems using either the Edimax or WU715N adapters. Both of the model A's will consistently quit responding anywhere from about 3...

I was just about to order one...I'll take it.
