Sorry, missed your post between my last one and didn't realize you had commented. The wiring on the Cat5 was off. I had servo control and ground instead of fan control and ground. And I've had it on pulse for a while, actually.

Haha wow, yep that was it! Talk about embarrassing, haha. I quickly stripped wires apart on the Cat 5 and sure enough I was using orange and brown instead of the green. Anyways, I just performed a test and it cut off. Perfect! Thanks for your help, and I think it's funny that it performed so...

Mine's a 4.1 board so I don't think it supports pulse, correct? Anyway, I'm going to take it apart tonight and check out the wiring to see what's going on.

Edit: Ok so I swear I saw the 6.5cfm stop at some point (only 1 cook done with it so far), but nevermind. I think I have a wiring issue. Would incorrect CAT5 wiring to the fan cause this? Or am I looking at a board or output jack issue more likely?

It's not convection, as I can physically unplug the fan and it stops and stays still. I guess I'll get a multimeter and check to see what's going on at 0% output, because obviously it's getting power. Regardless I'll likely move toward a damper solution for next year when we compete. The 6.5cfm...

It's the heater meter, as I can stop the fan manually for a few secs before it overcomes resistance and starts spinning again. It's def getting power. I ended up restricting flow elsewhere on the pit to maintain control, since we had 60 lbs of meat cooking and extensive troubleshooting wasn't...

I've got a auber 20cfm hooked up to our pit, but for some stupid reason at 0% the fan is still running. Any ideas how to fix, if there is a fix? Works fine with my 6.5cfm auber fan.

Yeah unfortunately those are all from Hong Kong or China. I ordered the Panda adapter recommended in Bryan's guides, which uses the same chipset as the Comfast you linked to. It arrives tomorrow. I'll give it a test Wednesday on site. Thanks for the recommendation, we'll see how it goes. Do I...

I'm well aware. However, my original speculation was that security itself was the only thing not working, and that I was stuck with hosting an open AP. Because of that, my next best solution for security is to turn off the ssid broadcast. Remember, there's a separate login to change any of the...

It's the adapter, I'm 99% sure now. Why? Well, I can get it to AP mode, but no security, can't hide SSID, can't switch to most channels, etc. This adapter, while antenna'd, clearly has serious shortcomings. That sucks I can't hide the SSID.

It worked just fine when I received it, and was already in AP mode (note my edit where I said it's AP mode as a whole, not a security setting). I since switched it to my LAN, and just want to go back. If i have to perform a software reset I can.

I just switched my HM back into AP mode, and I set a WPA2 password on it so that it'll be secure during competition. However, I cant connect to the darn thing! It times out (read: NOT telling me bad pw) on wifi password validation on every single device I've tried connecting. Anyone know what's...

My wifi crashed on the one cook I've done so far, and it did it several times. I never noticed it do it while it was plugged in inside and not doing a cook, but I suppose it's possible it did then. My point -- I believe i may be experiencing the same issue as you. The web interface becomes...

OK, so I've got a large vent to work with (http://www.tuckercooker.com/MorePictures/images/vents.75.jpg) and need some advice on fitting a blower to it. Each pie slice of that vent measures approx 2.25" x 3.25", and overall diameter needed to cover the entire vent is approx 5.6-5.7 inches. That...

Interesting, I'll give that a shot on the next cook (hopefully this weekend, after soldering some RC filters into place for my 4.1).

I'm getting this same issue, on a rpiB as well. Not sure about the undsoldering, as I purchased mine pre-built from someone who had ordered 3 PCBs. It goes away after a couple mins, but it's the strangest thing. The unit it still responsive through physical controls, so I'm not sure what's up...

It's a 4.1 board, and the noise level is registering around 140-150 across all three of those ET732 probes. I need to get a reading on the TX-1001 probe from Thermoworks before proceeding, but I'm guessing the ground wire mod would be immensely helpful.

Well, sure enough, some new settings seems to have done the trick -- esp setting the max to 50% and going to pulse mode. Temp seems more stable, though I think I'm discovering a new problem needing fixing -- noise levels on the probes. They're all showing up as red (3 ET732 probes). Would the...

Looking for fan output settings for this specific combo. I know there's gotta be at least a handful of folks, if not more, that have this simple combo. I gave mine a first run around 5am and have noticed a "sin wave" of temperature fluctuations, so I'm trying to tune my settings. Using defaults...

Are you planning on exposing them to direct flames all the time? I'm pretty sure this is a non-issue. Unless zinc burns up at 350F. :p
