This is NOT an urgent matter like my last false alarm. Along with flashing my SD card earlier, I also reset the configuration on the Heatermeter. I moved last year, and had gotten a new wireless gateway, so I thought I had read that was the only way to get it back up and running. I've been...

I need to start a brisket in the next 90 minutes. I just flashed the SD card with the latest update, but root with no password isn't working. Without the HM, I'll have a long night of tending my smoker, which I don't want to do!!!

I am in the market for a new thermocouple pit probe. I had one like this http://www.thermoworks.com/PRB-K-421?tw=VWB&chan=TVWBB that was running through the dome for a while until I accidentally melted the cable and now it is reading all over the place. I like to have the pit probe off the...

I'm a first time pork belly smoker here getting ready to throw it on my cooker. I'm having some doubts about how long to let it go seeing as I want to cube it or chop it up small to throw into some chili for tomorrow. I rubbed it last night and was planning on smoking it at 250. I've seen...

Having put about 6 or 7 low and slow cooks now under my belt since completing my build, I wanted to share that I think I've got it pretty well locked in and know what to expect. I've had a 13 lb full brisket on my kamado since 2pm today and just threw on a 5 lb flat for a late Christmas feast...

I know there are options aplenty to set alarms for high and low temps on meat. Is there a function built in, or could be built in, that would notify a user that the meat has slowed heating to the point that it would identify for you that the meat has entered the stall phase of the cook? Would a...

I have been doing an 11lb brisket for a family gathering today with folks in from California to watch the Bears-49ers game. I put it on yesterday at about 4:30pm with temps set at 225. As an aside, I immediately had to leave for a dinner party and was able to use the HeaterMeter web service for...

I can right click to save image as a PNG, but then the image is blank. I can do a print screen shot, but that is a PITA to then get it here. Is there an easier way? I wanted to post my test run today with a question. Thanks!

Just wanted take a minute to dedicate a thank you thread to Bryan, John, and most of all Ralph, for creating the HeaterMeter and building up a community to support people like me that had to take some crash courses in electronics to get this thing built. I had well over 100 posts on the various...

I got my RD3 all put together last night and have been combing the forum for tips on these items and could use some additional guidance, please. With the RD3 on a table and a TC connected as the pit probe: 1) My fan is running non stop. I have all of the fan output values listed at 0%. The...

My RDTC build was successful to the point that I got a solid reading on the TC and food probes while connected to my heatermeter. Along the way, I needed to remove the potentiometer, and in doing so ripped off the top right trace. After getting my TC readings squared away, I reinstalled the...

I finally wired everything up as I planned in the previous thread quoted above. After plugging in the wall wart, the pit probes are either showing "No Pit Probe" both when a TC probe is plugged in and when it is not, or, it is showing a temperature that is steadily going up, sometimes starting...

I just completed the HM portion of the build, less the 4 way tactile button that I have on order. I mated the HM with the rPi, installed the openWRT, asked the wife for a drum roll, plugged in a microUSB cord into the Pi and.......nothing. I unmated the HM from the rPi, plugged the power back...

Hi everyone, I have 2 questions as I get to the LCD portion of my build. Keep in mind that this is my first solder job and I'm not well versed in the wiring diagrams. 1) I was trying to get fancy and ordered this LCD for its variety of colors (wanted the option before seeing my case color)...

Last night, I finished soldering the necessary components to test my thermocouple amp. My 9 volt battery was registering around 9.2V. After hooking it up to the board, I was getting a reading of 8.9-9.0v through the amp connections. The other test with shorting the inputs gave me .17V when I...

I recently got all of my parts to build myself a Heatermeter with the RDTC box. I had a case made with a switch on it for the RDTC, but as I started in on my build, I realized I only ordered the standard HM PCB. My question is, what materials do I need to add the TC plug to the HM and is there...

Hey everyone, After doing my first successful 18 hour brisket last weekend, I have been researching temp controllers like crazy! I’ve been reading a lot here and on the wikis. I have decided that a Heatermeter is what I want to control my Vision pro S so I’m not losing any more sleep, but...
