Ok, did some hunting, wicked out what I thought were joints too close for comfort and still no luck. Here are some new pics. I'm not sure what I can do at this point. Any ideas with some veteran eyes? Front - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzSBmZGY0VqYZGV6WVhmWnNTMkE/view?usp=sharing Front...

Just agreed to do pulled pork for a work potluck on 10/20, that should be more than enough motivation to power through this :)

Yes, I have both a wick and a sucker.

Ok. I was having issues with my tip not tinning and getting too hot. Is there any danger in having a dull joint, or is that just a cosmetic issue at this point?

Cool. Can't wait to dive in and find it. Thanks!

Is there anything other than alcohol and a toothbrush I can use to clean my board? I have scrubbed on 2 occasions, and while it did take care of the residue on the board itself, the joints I soldered are still discolored a bit. Maybe I'm not scrubbing long/hard enough? I will take a series of...

Understood. I was able to read BS170 on the flat side of those components, where they should have been, and did not see that on the regulator when I peeked at it.

I did verify the BS170's last night. They are in the right place. I also gave the board another alcohol scrub. I'll be bridge hunting tonight, thanks.

Got it. Sorry for the confusion. I was testing later than I wanted to last night and need to remember to give ALL of the possible info I can since I'm new to this game. I'll be reworking some joints tonight and let you know what happens. Thanks again!

1.47 gigawatts!! Seriously though, I believed I was measuring ohms. I'm learning this as a I go. My multimeter was set to 20K Ohms on the dial. Not sure if that's even right for this test, but since I didn't get a 1 showing it was overloaded, I figured I was in the right neighborhood, or at...

The top pin registered 0.00. The bottom left pin registered 1.68. I also measured at the Ethernet jack and got 0.00, while the power jack next to it measured 1.47. The output at the FTDI connector measured 1.68. Does this indicate anything specific to look at, or just that I likely have a...

I do have a multimeter. I'll perform the test this evening and report back. Thank you!

If I'm using one of these. If this isn't delivering enough, what is recommended instead of plugging in the 12V barrel jack for the first boot?

Bryan - would I measure using the 12VDC/1A power brick plugged into the HM power jack? Just want to make sure I don't kill anything. Dave - I'll double check those joints tonight. They definitely got some solder, but maybe not enough? They do stand out though in color compared to the rest of my...

I know the burnt flux looks bad. I used a toothbrush with alcohol and got off most I could the other day before joining the LCD.

I just completed the HM portion of the build, less the 4 way tactile button that I have on order. I mated the HM with the rPi, installed the openWRT, asked the wife for a drum roll, plugged in a microUSB cord into the Pi and.......nothing. I unmated the HM from the rPi, plugged the power back...

That's what I figured. I went ahead and ordered the original button off of Amazon for a touch under $5.

Does anyone have any extra 4-way buttons for the HM build? I ordered the replacement in the mouser project not realizing it would not fit.

I have all of the same questions and am glad you took the time to write this up :) I am pretty much at the same part of my build. I have to install my LCD, finish up the rest of the HM, and then get to the RDTC.

Is something like this a viable option for powering a HM using the heat from your cooker? I’m not an engineer, just a guy that wonders about efficiency in all things. Aaron’s universal battery post got me thinking about other forms of harnessing energy. You obviously couldn’t have power until...
