    Putting an RCA jack on the blower cable

    I have finished my HM and it looks to be running great with the new V8 flash. Now I just have to solder the RCA jack on my fan and be done with it. Is there a polarity on the blower wiring that I have to worry about. Does the pin on the RCA jack need to be + or - or does it matter. I...

    Building a servo controlled damper valve

    Thanks for posting this. The only thing it is missing is how to wire it up to the HM ;) I thought I had seen a thread a couple of weeks ago that discussed it but can't remember now where it was.

    LinkMeter v8 Release

    Bryan, Same issue here with the display as I am running the same hardware (4 line display) as RJ. I reverted back with no issues. Interestingly enough, on the third line, last character on the right was an upsidedown 4. Weird.

    Auber or BBQ Guru Blower Fan

    I am making an HM for a gift and I am torn between which of the two blowers to get. The Auber is nice in that it is a little less expensive option and has a built it damper that closes off the air when the fan doesn't run but I like the BBQ Guru's system of mounting the fan to the adapter plate...

    A tip for those who want to install a Thermister for ambient temps

    I got me HM fully up and running today but couldn't figure out why my ambient temp was almost 30 degrees F high after putting in the correct coefficients. It was baffling me until I realized that my HM had been on for about 25 minutes with me trying to get it connected to my WiFi network. I...

    Got a problem! Any ideas

    SUCCESS!! Here is what I did. 1. Took Ralph's advice and since I had plenty of solder on the backside I just put the iron back on and wiggled the pins to try and get better flow. Not perfect through flow since I can see gold still on alot of the frontside pins. Put the Mega back in and...

    Got a problem! Any ideas

    Ralph, Tried the suggestion and it comes back with "permission denied". Does that tell us anything other than it doesn't see me as it's master:) EDIT: I just had a thought. I used an existing SD card that I have used and tried to image it with my mac running parallels. When parallels...

    Got a problem! Any ideas

    Thanks Ralph. How did you eventually get the solder to flow to both sides. I read your post about flowing to both sides so I tried to not be stingy with the solder but it would just build up on the back side of the board instead of flowing through the hole. I noticed that almost all of my...

    Got a problem! Any ideas

    Thanks Ralph. I will try that tomorrow. Was I not patient enough the first time and could have interrupted the initial boot phase? I waited a couple of minutes before unplugging it.

    Got a problem! Any ideas

    Got a problem! Any ideas (Solved) Ok, got everything done and tried to power it up tonight. Started with the 12V since I didn't read the instructions that stated it is preferred to use the micro USB for first boot. Upon power, the first and third lines on the display are solid rectangles...

    Are my resistors from Mouser correct?

    Thanks Ralph! That is what mine looked like. Funny how the metal film resistors colors are so off.

    Are my resistors from Mouser correct?

    Started building mine today and I have a question that I probably should have asked a few hours ago. Here is the issue. I ordered from the Mouser links on the HM Hardware Wiki page. They appear to be correct based on the part number labels on the bags the resistors came in but the resistors...

    so how are you attaching your blower to the smoker

    My *WEBER* mini build

    Really really nice work!! That things looks sweet! I am sure I missed it but what type of paint did you use? Edit: Never mind, I just read your post on the Painting the Mini WSM for what type of paint you used.

    HM version 4 Rpi 3d print case

    RJ, Would you happen to have the part number for the 90 header on the HM board? I am getting ready to order from Digi-Key. Thanks for all of the help. I went ahead and ordered the display you recommended off of eBay. Thanks, Troy
