    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    hmm... the only thing i see after completing this is the 3 files contained in "...\heatermeter\www\" no files from the parent directory are uploaded, also my mockup.html isn't converted to "". is this a concern? should i be disconnecting the the wishield before uploading the main sketch...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    bryan, your project looks great! do you plan to publish your version of the code? im using very similar hardware and would like to see how you did the buttons and menu. have you considered lowering the input voltage to fan? i think introducing less airflow over a longer period of time might...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    bryan, i like your ambient temp idea! i have some thermistors laying around doing nothing. you may want to check out fritzing for easy pcb layouts. i picked up some large 16x2 parallel LCDs from a guy on another forum and found a whole bunch of 74LS164N shift registers my dad had laying...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    i had a lot of difficulty getting my probes to work consistently at first. the main problem was with the maverick plug; it is about 2mm longer than a standard 2.5mm phone plug. if used with radio shack 2.5mm jacks, pushing the maverick plugs completely into the jack resulted in the tip contact...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    doh! ok, im a idiot... i commented out #define USE_KEEPALIVE at some point during testing and never re-enabled it. stoopid! so atm, im using hruska's + greg's fix and im no longer getting the lockups, but still getting the intermittent reboot. i'll revert to just hruska's patch since its know...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    finally, some clarity! this makes sense as to why it worked for me at one point and then stopped... i followed the code here which got me serving webpages, but broke after a few minutes. after tinkering around with no forward progress, i reloaded the drivers and followed the instructions...

    s roy, i haven't tried them yet... been working on a few other projects for a bit. are you referring to this thread?? i followed those instructions and still had problems... i think it might have been my server though. what did you do to get yours up & running? cheers! -jc

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    sroy, i had read that thread before, but didn't feel my wifi link would be reliable enough for the location of the smoker. on the other hand, i do have a 1 watt wifi amp just sitting here collecting dust the ethershield is a option.... but more $$$! ethernet would be easy though as there is...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    good catch! i didn't even notice... i hadn't connected the motor since i made that change, but it seems to spinning fine now. i didn't run up the probe temp to see what happens at less than 100% though. i'd kinda like to keep the led... i don't think 5 is used by anything. i'll move it there and...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    strange... when i take the space out it breaks the code. maybe i made a change in the driver i forgot about??? let me know if you get something other than keepalive working! this is where im stuck atm. wishield connects to wpa2 after about a minute, responds to pings, doesn't serve webpages...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    hmm... i just copied & pasted into arduino ide 1.8 and it compiled for me. do you have all of your dependent libraries in the right places? have your tried commenting out the wireless or keepalive to see if it compiles? cheers! -sj

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    sweet! i've got the serial lcd working consistantly, wishield v2 is connecting to the router w/wpa2 enabled and creating a webpage with data, 192.168.1.xx/setup allows remote setting of temp threshold. im still having problems with what i suspect is the keepalive portion of the code... the...

    Version 2 of my homebrew controller

    howdy! just thought i'd take a sec to say thanks to bob & everyone else who has contributed to this project! after stumbling onto this thread, i decided to build one of these for my dad. this is my first arduino / microcontroller build... a few speedbumps so far, but for the most part it has...
