But to all us you're more than an amateur!... Perhaps there are different levels - you could be a 'Godly' (or perhaps Ninja) level Amateur (but I really suspect you're more than that)

Apologies for being a little off topic... Just read a review of the latest BBQ Guru Wifi controller. It reminded me that the Linkmeter compares pretty well in terms of functionality... it beats it hands down on the 'fun' of building your own. Bryan, you should send in a Limkmeter for them...

Hi Bryan... My thougths on your points: 1. When disabled, agree it should not go off again unless re-enabled by user 2. Yes, would agree that once it goes off, it should continue until switched off 3. Regarding the temperature settings, I may want different things to happen depending on whether...

Yeah... I spotted the schoolboy error! Surely the ideal option is to Build another Linkmeter - you could leave it there like your toothbrush and spare socks! Apologies for not thinking of the scenario - the thought of taking my Smoker to a friends house is not that usual in the UK

Reading back... Yep, I missed something!

Just want to check we're answering the right question... If you're out of wireless range of home network then you're going to be out of range of the Linkmeter wireless range (assumption is that the Linkmeter is located at home with your Grill). On this basis, the answer would be to setup port...

Good to hear that things are progressing (faster than the process of getting hold of a Pi here in the UK. I understand that the Pi version will likely spawn a new PCB layout to make the whole 'package' neat. Is it the working assumption that a current Heatermeter (v3.x) will be able to...

Hi, Just spotted this and wondered whether anyone else had considered it as an alternative to the fan... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1606...id=p3984.m1423.l2649 It's not that the current fan arrangement doesn't work, but as an alternative I wondered if it could offer any advantages.

Hi, My linkmeter is quite sensitive to probe dopouts too. Fry fist proper run I need to play with the following ideas on why: 1. Try different power supply feeding the linksys 2. Power the heatermeter direct and 'backfeed' the router 3. Does the ambient temperature affect operation? 4. Are the...

Finally got round to getting setup for a trial run of the linkmeter on the Egg... primarily because I have have brisket to cook long and slow tonight. The test startup was good... the blower really made a difference in the time it took to get the egg up to temperature. Watching the pit...

Hi James, No need to connect these wires. I think they are 'left over' from as previous setup. You just need to connect up the heatermeter to the serial pins and the +12V. Nick

It's not the most intuitive setup. There is a post a few pages back (about page 40 - 44) where Bryan helped me when I was scratching my head! I reset the rounter back to default before follwoing the instructions. What's your mail address... I am in the process of documenting how to configure...

Thanks for the useful info... the 192.168.1.1 info was spot on and the router is now back up and running with the Linkmeter image. Setting the right probe co-efficients (via Arduino IDE) has also made the Heatermeter more stable when running on +12v power (in terms of the pit probe appearing to...

OK... I did try but thought I should be using 192.168.200.1 - I thought you were supposed to use the last IP address the Router was condfigured with. OK, thanks Ah... that may be something to look at. I'm using ET-732 probes but the Heatermeter is currently setup with the default ET-73...

Thanks.. so my plan to drill holes exactly where I need them is not too far off the mark then! I'll capture what I do!

I've built the HeaterMeter element and am having some problems integrating with the Router. Initially looked like the router firmware may have been a problem... Unfirtunately something went wrong when tyring to reload firmware and now only get blinking power light. I'm sorting out a JTAG cable...

Bryan, A quick question.. Before I drill some custom holes, is there any neat trick you've identified for creating a custom button board? The feet on the 4-way button don't seem to line-up with the spacing on a standard stripboard (or similar). Thanks Nick

mmm... not managed to re-flash the firmware yet. I'll try that first.

Unless you want to order another custom board from borkbot, you're best getting some 'stripboard' or other such prototyping board and making your own. I'm up to the same stage as you... and am about to make up my own board. The only thing I have noticed is the strange foot spacing on the...

No, they are separate items. It was missing from the Mouser component list until a few days ago but Bryan has now added it (and the button cap).
