I'm struggling to get alarms sent to my phone and I suspect it's my setup in the /etc/msmtprc file. I have gmail, hotmail, qwest (my isp), fastmail, and tmomail but this setup is different from anything I'm used to. I tried googling some on the smart host but still couldn't figure it out...

Bryan. Tried the update and things are working much better. Enabled wireless and hit the scan and it showed me all wireless points available right away. Same with the Network - Diagnostics also. Everything works right out of the gate now. Now I just need to get things setup so that...

Bryan: Thanks for the update. I'm almost ready for my Thanksgiving cook. Getting the wireless enabled is still a little bumpy. I still wasn't able to get the wireless going just by enabling it. After playing around with it a bit and manually entering the SSID, changing to Client mode, and...

By latest firmware snapshot I assume you're referring to the pre-built images located here? http://capnbry.net/linkmeter/snapshots/bcm2708/ If so, I installed the more current image but cannot find alarm information under the configuration tab. Also, if the HeaterMeter does go beep beep beep...

If I understand this correctly the alarms and alarm setpoints are set via files that are downloaded. Is this correct? Can the setpoints be changed via the configuration screen?

Some more updates on my pit not found problem. Since the my probes were a little suspect (even though they work with my ET-732) I decided to pick up a ET-73 probe and see if that fixed the problem. Well the probe showed up yesterday and it does fix the no pit probe problem. Now I just need...

A little update on my pit probe not found problem. In order to try and narrow things down some I picked up a mcp1700 / ic4 to make it stand alone. Even without the rpi attached it still has the cannot find pit probe problem. I missed the part in the instructions about not having the 12v and...

Sorry, took the night off to watch the baseball game. For resistance between the probe jack header and the braid of the cable I'm showing open for 3 out of the 4 ET-732 probes that I own. One of the probes does around 2k ohms, but I believe this probe is actually bad (which is why I own the...

I agree, it seems like a grounding problem. I'll double check everything but my solder joints look pretty good. What's weird is if I take a jumper and go from the HDMI on the Rpi to the ground on J2 on the HeaterMeter board it doesn't fix the problem. Also, there was a point where I could...

I should have posted my readings. They were: Voltage without probe connected = 3.30 V, Voltage with probe connected = 3.27 V, Resistance of probe = 1123k ohms I'm surprised the resistance reading is so high. Edit: If the probe is a thermocouple (voltage) versus an RTD (resistance...

Bryan, I did everything you mentioned and everything looks good. A couple of weird things though. I'm using Maverick ET-732 probes. If I touch the probe wire jacket to the HDMI port casing the probe gives me a correct reading. If I pull it away it goes back to no pit probe. Then, when...

I'm having problems with my temperature probes, the problem being that it doesn't recognize anything I insert. No matter what I get "no pit probe" and nothing on any of the other channels. I have four probes and have the thing "loaded up" with all four probes and nothing comes through on any...

Tom, I was curious if the surface on your's was also rougher than expected, or if perhaps this was a characterstic of the white "plastic".

Tom: It does look like the posts are the right height. I don't have the screws to try it, but I'm going to try and pick something up. I'm not sure if you want to be the official updater, but my suggestions for tweaks would be: 1) Move the control button on the front up 1mm towards the...

No problem with the post. You did a great job. The post hits the SD card holder frame, almost dead on the center of the black frame. Move it 3mm towards the side that the power connectors are on, and then it should land on the PCB instead. I haven't mounted it with screws (it looks...

Got mine. I'll post a little more tomorrow. It's a good fit. There is one post that was a little too tall or that probably needs to be moved. Definitely wouldn't go any less than two millimeters thick. I went with a DC power connector instead of the RCA because I have an Auber fan...

Not sure how much you wanted to spend. This is the way some industrial controls work. Basically a valve like this that takes a 4-20 milliamp signal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belimo-B230-LF24-SR-1-1-2-valve-with-actuator-/121002400498?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2c4e1af2 and then a PID...

Tom: Could you post the 123d files? I tried using Autodesk 123d to edit the stl files, and while it will import the model, I am not able to edit anything. Not sure if this is an operator error or something with the stl files. Thanks

Looks great. You had thinned it up in a few places to keep the cost down. Did that work out OK?

Got mine up and going (although I haven't put 12V power on it yet). Under the LinkMeter tab I see: HeaterMeter Information Version 20120830B Serial checksum errors: 7 Does anyone know what the serial checksum errors is about? Also, none of the LED's are working. If I understand...
