Already got you covered. See the current PID config settings in the HeaterMeter config screen. To see the realtime PID calcs, give the phone a little shake when on the main screen with the thermo. I know, the shake gesture is lame and not intuitive at all. I'm out of real estate on that...
I just uploaded a new build to testflight. See first post for a list of changes.
I think I'm nearing feature complete for v1.0. If you have any feature requests please let me know soon. I'll probably lock it down to bug fixes shortly. Speaking of, please report any bugs or crashes too.
Thanks for all your hard work Bryan. The update went smooth here and I like the improvements.
Today I tried my first cook "in absentia". Woke up, started grill, put on pork, went to work, came home, ate pork. Very cool stuff.
Thanks for the bug reports. I uploaded a new beta that should fix those issues. I had moved some of the settings around and really messed some of the page navigation.
I had been thinking about making a user customizable scale on the thermometer. I'll do that next. That should provide better...
I just uploaded a new beta that contains a first attempt at providing an interface into the LM's stash/archive DB for the purpose of viewing/saving the graph data. Let me know what you think.
Sorry about that Ivo. I wish Apple didn't make us jump through these hoops. The reason for that is there is a ping pong set of steps involved:
1. I send a testflight invite to your email address.
2. You accept the invitation and register a device.
3. I take the device ID and update my Apple...
Thanks Joel, I had thought about the Big Green Egg name usage, and might go the Bobby Flay route and refer to that color scheme as a "Green Ceramic Cooker"
Oops, I did not mean to keep my hard-coded name and email. D'oh! That should be reading from NSUserDefaults instead. Thanks for the...
Steve, thanks for the AWS lead. I hadn't realized they released this and wish I had seen it sooner to give it a proper evaluation before starting the "roll your own" option. I had looked into a couple of other alternatives like pushwoosh, urban airship, and boxcar, but they all had some...
Push Notifications
In the first post I categorized this as experimental (unsupported). Here's the long winded reason why.
For the app I wanted a new facility to warn us when a temp alarm is raised. Emails and even SMS messages are easy to miss if you're sleeping on an overnight cook. I...
Great idea Bryan. I had been thinking about what to do for the LCD screen in the icon and tried putting some text in there but never really liked. I updated it with your suggestion. See the updated screenshot on the first post.
Joel, I'm using testflight for distribution. I have a little prior experience with iOS dev but mostly code .NET/C# in my day job. Don't be discouraged by the soldering bit, I used a $10 radio shack iron and had little prior skills. I honestly was half surprised when it powered up that first...
Yep, there are actually 3 presents right now. I could fairly easily make it user customizable too.
Low n slow - 100-350
Medium Temp - 100-500
High Temp - 0-800
I've been working on an iPhone app for the LinkMeter/HeaterMeter. It won't be generally available just yet, but I am looking for some volunteers to use the current beta version and provide feedback. If you are interested, please send me a PM and I'll work with you to get it installed.
There...
Thanks Andy. I was mostly wondering if there is an easier way to update the settings that didn't require the separate login request, or if there is an undocumented login JSON request/response API. I'm using hmstatus for everything else, but it doesn't return the current fan min/max setting...
Bryan,
I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this...
I've been coding an iPhone app to work with the HeaterMeter. I am going to start another thread asking for volunteer beta testers. I've done a couple of cooks with it and am ready for additional user feedback.
Since you have such a...
Ralph, check eggfests or other events in your area. I bought mine from a local BGE rib fest a dealer was hosting. The deal was it would be used that one day and discounted $300 off retail. Dealers around here only sell at list so it truly was $300 off. When I showed up to pick it up we were...
I wanted to follow up and say thanks to Ivo and especially Bryan. I finished the assembly tonight and like you said Bryan it was fine. Everything appears to be working. I just need to make a fan mount and I'm all set.
I received the PCB today and started piecing together the heatermeter. Imagine the sinking feeling I just had when I realized that I had just soldered the ATmega328P to the board instead of the socket. That's what I get for doing this too late tonight... not following directions well...
