Did a test run to try and figure out what was going on with the Auber 6.5cfm blower. Here's my timeline and the graph below: 2:55 started charcoal in chimney starter 3:05 dumped charcoal into grill 3:07 installed pit probe on dome thermometer stem 3:08 plugged in Auber fan in normal orientation...

Spent some time adjusting PID values Kamado Joe Classic (similar to Large BGE) Rotodamper with stock fan BPID settings stock at start 4,3,.005,5 3:15 RotoDamper, fan and damper active 4,3,.005,5, temp climbed nicely to 400F, a little oscillation, difficulty really getting to 400F 3:30 changed...

Out of curiosity, where's the demand for this quantity?

Did a 350 cook and recovery was very poor after each lid open. I'll post my graphs next time. Something's not right. Max fan was 100%.

Are these high temp cooks with the 6.5cfm blower?

Using natural lump that I start in a chimney. Fire bowl air hole is lined up with blower so most air should be going in under coals.

I'll try max fan, thanks. I have an expanded diamond metal grate I got from eBay similar the one shown above, so I don't think clogging is the problem. Thanks to both of you!

HM 4.1 with Auber 6.5cfm blower on a Kamado Joe Classic. I can do low and slow just fine but I'm having a heck of a time with a midrange temp. 400f is easy without hm, but with hm I struggle to get to temp. Max fan is 25%, tried top vent totally open or 1/4 open as I would without hm. Going...

First ever pork shoulder on my Kamado Joe, a 10lb'er! HM 4.0 with RotoDamper. https://heatermeteraubrey.no-ip.org

Same as Ralph regarding the cable. Used right angle pins on the hm board and straight pins on the LCD.

Got one from Home Depot and it fits perfectly. It's not black, but it fits!

I used an old IDE hard drive cable. Floppy cables aren't great because they have a twist in them.

Not any jack, unfortunately. Mine is this one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003L14VS2/tvwb-20 It is the right size at the wallplate but the rear portion is bigger. Probably doesn't matter in 99% of cases where you have ample room behind the wallplate, but here it has to fit in the...

Ralph, Got it working! Doing my first trial with no meat on the line, it is really fun to watch it move! One SNAFU I hit is that the black CAT5 jack I got from Amazon is too wide, it gets wider after the jack portion so it won't go in the RotoDamper. Where did you get the jack you're using...

Nevermind, had the signal wire soldered to PIN 3 of the DIP instead of PIN 1.

Hi, Just got my servo connected and it doesn't appear to be working. I am using an HM4.0 board with wires soldered to +5V, GND, and SIGNAL through a CAT 5 connector. At the other end of the CAT 5 cable I am seeing 5V and 3.3V (on the signal wire) but the servo isn't moving. It only moves when...

Thanks! I went with the HM 4.1 wiring. Pin 1, white/orange wire, unused Pin 2, orange wire, BLOWER GND Pin 3, white/green wire, +5V Pin 4, blue wire, SERVO GND Pin 5, white/blue wire, BLOWER Pin 6, green wire, SERVO Pin 7, white/brown wire, unused Pin 8, brown wire, unused Obviously the unused...

Looks cool, would have made assembly much easier.

Ralph, Would you mind telling me which wires you connected where? Was it something like this? Think I remember hearing you could only do 3 probes through CAT5. 1. Servo Ground 2. Servo Signal 3. Servo 5V+ 4. Probe 0 5. Probe 1 6. Probe 2 7. Probe Ground Thanks, Aubrey

I sometimes see that "going crazy" behavior too. Not sure what causes it. So far all probes have recovered but it is annoying.
