I can access it through the website yeah, but it says the HM is not communicating.

I think I'm going to start over... What components do you think i'll be able to salvage?

With all my connections getting bad readings, IE: all the connections that should be 3.3v reading and i'm getting .03-.10 readings... what are the odds my board is fried?

Here she is as of now. Getting some alcohol to help with the clean up.

Ok so I continued with registering my HM, and i was able to access it, but only through Ethernet. I'm going to have to play with it a lil more to see why I'm not able to access it through WiFi. I know for sure something is up with the HM and not just the LCD.

Not sure what my mac was doing with PiBaker, but i remounted the image on my windows, and it was a success. Pi Boots up just fine. connected to the HM however, the LCD is still blank.

Nothing... this is highly discouraging...

Using my multimeter, following the schematic above, all my yellow, reds, and whites check out. I'm getting 0v, 5v, 12v dead on the money. But all the orange, green and purple ones vary from each other and most of the readings are .04 - .10V . The bottom, left pin of the ATmega, i'm getting a...

The directions said to try the USB first, and I've powered it both ways, but the LCD is still blank.

I've adjusted the LCD screen high and low as well, thats the setting where it shows just solid.

Ok, So I got my SD programmed and my Pi mounted... but when i plug it in... LCD is shown below... Any thoughts?

Ok I got everything on... Any checks I should do before mounting the Pi?

Update: Using jumper wires, I have my LCD mounted in the correct orientation and all the connections are good, (checked continuity). thought i finished my board... and while i was comparing my board to the complete one, I noticed i had skipped the thermocouple amplifer completely.... so far i...

Update: checked continuity and looks like i dont have any from pin 4 and 5... -_-

Bryan, it's the pin that has me most concerned for sure. It looks like it's detached from the board just a mm from the hole, if not right up to it. Is there a way to check if it's good?

Post cleaning... cleaning could be better but... i need smaller tools. What do yall think?

Gino, If you wanted you could see if one of the vets could build you one. John offered to build one for me, but I wanted to save some money building it myself, and felt it would be more satisfying if I built it myself, especially if i'm going to be spending more than 100 bucks on parts. I...

Let me get them cleaned up better and retake pictures.

Update: So I chip quik'd it and it turned out better than I hoped. All the pins came out simultaneously, but with a lil pressure. That said, I wanted to get everyone's a opinion before I re-pinned the LCD bard. The main PCB's soldering pads look fine... the LCD's pads are good as well... but...

Quick update: ordered a Solder Sucker, tip is too big and/or the pins are too close together... going to try the chip quik route as Paul suggested. Whats the best way to test board up until this point that everything is correct? Everything passes the eye test.
