Love it! I never did resolve the problems I was having with flashing the Atmega through my USBTinyISP and ICSP headers. Tonight, I tried to flash it with a hex file through the web interface for the first time and I got the same error: Stopping LinkMeter OK avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in...

Tis the season I guess. I had the bottom and middle sections of my one month old WSM 18.5 stolen out of my gated back yard while I was on Christmas vacation. The replacement parts cost nearly as much as a new one. Luckily, I have insurance and after my deductible I got $269 back. Just...

I talked to Weber and my insurance company today. They both said that it is actually pretty common for thieves to steal parts of smokers. I guess they are heavy and hard to carry so they come back multiple times. Luckily I have a pretty low deductible on my insurance. They agreed to pay me...

Sooo...I come home from my vacation and the middle and bottom sections of my Weber Smokey Mountain and my custom blower had been stolen from my back yard!!! Who takes pieces of a smoker!?! Guess it will be a while until I get to use my linkmeter again GRRRR!!!

The long story...I purchased a ET-72 remote unit from a kitchen supply store (http://www.maverickhousewares.com/et72.htm). I bought an extra probe with it. The extra probe was broken out of box and I wasn't very careful with the probe that came with the ET-72 and it wasn't reading correctly...

@D Peart: Great work on the ET-732 probes and the oversampling! I look forward to seeing these improvements in a future build. In any case, in the course of your experimentation with the ET-732 probes I realized that I am actually using ET-72 probes. I had the probes before I started...

Hi Dustin, I will take one...PayPal okay? Send an invoice to david.shaeffer@gmail.com

Yeah the board I used has an RFM12 on it. If you have that populated, do you have Q4 populated and a jumper on SJ1? Q4 is the RFM12's power supply when you're not connected to the 3.3V supplied by the router. SJ1 is there so you can "turn off" Q4, although I'm not sure it matters if it is off or...

I was thinking of trying this relay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZG3M-3...c1390a#ht_2145wt_698 Cheaper, smaller, and can be mounted to a PCB. It doesn't take as much current. I am thinking 8amps is probably fine for controlling a heating element. Thoughts?

Yeah that doesn't work for me at all. I usually use just the command line to flash it: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> C:\Arduino\arduino-0022\hardware\tools\avr\bin>avrdude.exe -C ..\etc\avrdude.conf -cusbtiny -pm328p -v -B1 -Pusb -D...

I think Dave P needed one but he may not need it anymore now that he has his diode drama resolved (glad I didn't have that problem)...poor Dave P! I don't need one. I am working on designing my own for fun. I am going to add a relay, power entry module (IEC connector), and power outlet to...

Bryan/DPeart, Did you guys ever try flashing sketches using your USBTinyISP and the v3.1 boards ICSP header? I have done this in the past through my Arduino Duemilanove ICSP header. I like doing this because it eliminates the need for the bootloader which makes it load faster and you can fit...

You probably don't need a JTAG. However, it is useful for troubleshooting to read from the serial port. Bryan describe how to this here: http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/...103/m/5721075126/p/6 There is almost always an "easy" fix if you think you "bricked" your router. You have to get to know...

That did it...not sure how I missed that. I am going to try a pork shoulder this week for my long smoke. On the serial port...the problem was that the VCC pin was not connected. The holes on the wrt150n are soldered closed. I apparently destroyed the trace when I desoldered the VCC hole...

Nice job...thanks for submitting the picture. How did your smoke go with that setup?

How did you mount the blower on your WSM? My first attempt failed.

I am having the same password issue with the most recent openwrt build.

I ended up buying a WRT54GL...this is an amazing router!!! I wish I wouldn't have wasted my time messing with the other router. Just buy this one and dont mess with the others unless you are a computer programmer like Bryan. I am testing my build now. My mount for the fan failed but I got...

I tested mine a couple days ago with my WSM 18.5". It was overshooting by about 9 degrees. I probably need to adjust the PID values. Again...the in-laws are slowing me down! Did you use a relay to turn on your electric smoker? It would be cool to see a picture. My mom has a Bradley...the...

In-laws are in town so I have been seriously consumed! I have been able to keep up with reading the post but haven't had time to contribute anything useful. I tested three of the radioshack 5% 1/4 watt 390 resistors on the breadboard with the Linkmeter v3.1 board and they do not work. When I...
