Crappy phone pic of my completed build, I'll whip out the DSLR next time I am feeling motivated.

RJ's is a better deal than mine, but any WRT54/g/gs adapter should work just dandy.

Jeff, I'm using a power supply from my old Linksys WRT54g, which is your run of the mill 12v 1a wall wart. Something like this should work. As far as blowers are concerned, if you are using an old video cable or something, you're going to want to hook the positive (red) to the center pin, and...

Bryan, Have you considered tying together the "time to 180/200F" and the alarm thresholds? Meaning, I typically set the high alarm on my meat probes to whatever I want the final temperature to be, so I get paged if I am not paying attention or whatever. While I can guesstimate the time it will...

I got my case from Matt yesterday and finished my assembly this morning, it's awesome! I'll post up some pics tomorrow when I have time. Really pleased with how this build turned out overall, it's really loads nicer than my 3.x build.

You're snoozing Dave! A few of us have cases on the way already. :)

Woo, this is exciting! Matt, those pics look great, you'll have an email from me in a few. :D

Yeah, I was going to ask about this earlier, as I have heard the same. I have no wifi instability issues, but my rPi will reboot if I unplug the Edimax dongle as well.

Installed the msmtp package, and it picked up my existing gmail settings like a charm. Nice job!

Greg, what kind of probe is that you have pictured? Ah, answered my own question: ET-732 smoker probe with a grill clip. Gonna have to get myself one of those.

On long smokes I open the top vent, and close all other vents. I have the other 2 holes on the vent I have my blower attached to taped off. I fill the ring up with unlit charcoal, fire up a chimney of lit and toss it on top. Toss wood on and close it up. I wouldn't overthink it too much, it...

Hah, you are a monster. I love how quickly you go from "Someone should write an msmtprc editor" to "BRB, finishing up the msmtprc editor".

Bryan, Under the current alarm script setup (which is great by the way, thanks), are they backed up when you backup from LuCi? I realized that my previous scripts got blasted the last time I upgraded, probably because they live in /usr and not /etc or something.

I believe the current process is to just download the image and reimage your SD card, as there is not currently sysupgrade support built in for packages like there was in the 3.x Linkmeters. You can upgrade the AVR firmware right from the OpenWRT admin page, but as far as the OS is concerned...

So, with PID values of P=10 I=0.05 D=20, it seems relatively stable although there is about 2 degrees of overshoot that I'm not sure I will be able to do much about. The latest peak on the right hand side is with 10/0.05/20, the prior ones were with smaller values of I and D, and resulted in...

Still screwing around with my PID settings, but I am going to toss a steak in the bath in a couple of hours. I've found a pump that seems to fit the bill, but is still $40, and is non submersible so it will require a little plumbing...

I think most of us are just waiting patiently for someone to start taking orders. :)

Wow, thanks for the explanation! Your suggested parameters are pretty close to what Evan suggested earlier (10/0.007/20). I'm going to put my foodsaver to work this week and give a steak a try with 10/0.01/5 and see how it turns out.

So, my experimentation so far has not been fantastic. Take today's chart for example: The dip around 10:15 is when I put 3 (cold) eggs into the bath, and as you can see with the stock PID parameters, and the crockpot on high, it took nearly 40 minutes to rebound 5F! And then it overshot. Now...

Yeah it does, those exposed wires on it threw me. The reviews are not so great however, apparently it is only the size of "8 quarters" and only moves 1L/min (vs 6L/min on the ebay link). Does not seem like very much to me, even with a relatively small volume of water like a crockpot. I guess...
