Great idea, thank you. I just right clicked and saved the "Full configuration URL" as a bookmark.

I think it would be trivial on the AVR side to include the igniter. Maybe not so much on the LinkMeter side. But I'd concentrate on getting the auger under control first.

I would start with this to get auger control: 1) Adjust TEMP_MEASURE_PERIOD to 60,000 in grillpid_conf.h 2) Adjust calcPidOutput, in grillpid.cpp, to account for the change in sample time as follows: a) Line 491: _pidCurrent[PIDI] += Pid[PIDI] * (TEMP_MEASURE_PERIOD / 1000.0) * error; b)...

I replied in the pellet cooker thread http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?64334-Revisiting-old-topic-Heatermeter-for-pellet-smoker

Replying from another thread: Is the fan a 120v fan? how does the ignition currently work (physically)? I'm thinking it really wouldn't be too bad adding pellet cooker control to the heatermeter avr code but since I have never used one my self I'm not sure what it takes. I'd be happy to help...

I apologize if I seemed dismissive of your idea before, it's a good idea I was just rambling on why I went in the direction I did. Yeah, dive into it if you feel like geeking out! Ah I see. Has the heatermeter been put on a pellet grill before? Off the top of my head you would need to add a...

I did! But that would have required me buying stuff I didn't already have and coding the esp. The idea of rewriting/porting code to the esp didn't seem appealing. And I didn't much feel like writing my own code (again) and reinventing the wheel. I'm still new here my self but I can see that the...

As promised, and before I forget, here are the results of my first smoke entirly fanless (up until my raspberry pi flaked out). As it's my first cook I definitly have had some issues, but none of them related to the MicroDamper. The MicroDamper/avr did just what I asked them to do and I'm very...

Anyone else have a problem with the raspberry pi B dropping its network connection? It seemed to drop the connection randomly, and now I've noticed that it will also reliably drop the network connection when I click an archived data's 'Activate as current'. My rpi is attached directly to my...

Yes sir! Thank you for that BTW. The MicroDamper is performing well, I've had a little trouble deciding what temperature I want to keep the pit it. At one point I decided I needed to slow down and dialed down to 225F, this was the only time I seemed to have temperature stability issues... But I...

Finishing up a ~12-14 lb brisket on a large big green egg. This is my first cook with the heatermeter. (whole thing is still on a breadboard) Settings are: P:4, I:0.004, D: 5 Fan OFF, Damper control only with micro damper without a fan installed Diasy wheel open all the way Pit probe placed on...

I finally cobbled together a HM on the breadboard with a Micro Damper and fired up the cooker last night to test the whole thing out. * Micro Damper servo only, fan not even installed * On a Large Big Green Egg, top damper slider closed all the way and the daisy wheel all the way open *...

The *.ino file is the main file for the Arduino IDE, the other 3 I believe are for opening the code in MS Visual Studio instead. If you open the heatermeter.ino file with an Arduino IDE you'll find it will load all the c++ source files for the HeaterMeter AVR. Then you can just click through the...

Sorry You'll find all that magic in the arduino code, more specifically grillpid.cpp here: https://github.com/CapnBry/HeaterMeter/blob/master/arduino/heatermeter/grillpid.cpp The arduino, or rather the avr powered heatermeter board, is "self contained" (someone correct me if that's the wrong...

Ha! I trust in the collective experience of the HM community. I have no doubt plenty of folks have had better luck than me in similar or warmer climate. I've only played with one rpi, it may just be a lemon.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned it's a matter of what features you want. You can add HM's hardware filters for no more than a couple dollars, right? I guess my point is that to enjoy a heatermeter you don't have to buy a heatermeter! :confused:

Please don't overestimate the work I put into it ;) I've been down a similar road with other projects in the past. I've had really bad luck with the wifi dongles specifically. I made my own rpi/arduino bbq controller when the pi B was released, I burned through 3 dongles before I switched my...

That's why I was asking if someone knew of a "headache free" way of virtualizing! For this reason I've already given up and just took my rpi from another project. (I virtualized a brewpi to replace the pi there ;)) I can think of a few advantages but they certainly don't apply to many users...

So I've figured out a way to detach the heatermeater AVR board from the raspberry pi. In other words the raspberry pi is inside the house running the server while the arduino is outside running the grill. The avr and arduino are linked wirlessly through your wifi. A few benefits of this...

I've got several old jeenodes laying around. What does it take to get the rpi software side up and running? Do I need to recompile anything or change any settings in the rpi or can the lmremote be configured from the web ui? I already know I'll have to recompile the avr to use ~433MHz band, any...
