It was actually very simple. I found a spare Micro SD card and put in the current firmware along with my Orbi WiFi info and it boots right up. Something must have happened to the previous SD card because the entire HM was glacially slow with it too, but it's back to normal now. Except that...

Two years ago I gave up on my old HM and bought all new from Bryan M and put it on a new RPi 3. Worked well once I got the initial setup going, and was reliable. Store it away and drag it out months later and plug it in. No problems. Last year I didn't smoke anything at all that I remember...

Yes, those seem to work just fine

Fan seems to be Red = +5V Black = Ground Servo - Red (looks more orange but... = +5V Brown = Ground Yellow = PWM (used to be a clearly orange wire - goes to same side of the connector where orange did) Sound good ? Thanks! Karl

For the spec sheet challenged, what colors to those correspond to on a 3-wire (red, blue, black) fan and a Tower Pro MG90S servo (yellow, orange, brown)?

I have the proper Tower metal gear servos. Had to buy several years ago and still have a couple somewhere. I was hoping the higher CFM blower would fit. I also have the original design one that turned out to be misaligned when I bought it with the HM. Hence a jamming servo causing low...

Was it something I said? No replies and it's been 6 days... I ordered a HM 4.3 and case from Bryan and it should be here in a day or two. Have a brand new RPi 3B+waiting for it. But how do I get a printed RD3 ? Emailed Ralph Trimble and no reply either. Does anyone else print them...

An old Forum member build me a SMD variant HeaterMeter 4.2.4 with a Pi B+ in 2016. I had frequent wifi and power supply issues (I often just reeled out a 100' Ethernet cable), and finally it died completely after the second year. He fixed it by replacing the processor and it's been working...

I bought an 18" WSM and have learned a bunch with it. Then I missed having a Weber kettle so bought a 22" Performer. Love them both but with 3 adult kids. 2 married, 5 grandchildren, I quickly bought a 26" kettle. Similarly, I wish I hadn't listened to the fuel savings advice and had bought...

I do turkeys on my 26" Weber kettle now. Easier to get enough heat,, and far more space. A low and slow turkey isn't great for me - blubbery skin, takes forever. As far as the welding blanket, the first year (I'm in the Chicago suburbs) I had a terrible time keeping my 18" Weber Smoky...

Thanks much. I don't want to spend huge money and have some extra plugs if needed. At that price I can have a spare on hand.

My 2016 thermocouple has been fine till yesterday when it spontaneously began giving readings 50 to 100 degrees low. Realizing that there are no bargains, I thought I'd order a Thermoworks thermocouple, but it's $51 vs all the options for unknown Chinese stuff under $20. Advice? Thanks ! Karl

Galaxy S7, Android 7.0, July security patches. If I uncheck all alarms I can close it with the "Back" button on the phone and it's really closed. If anything's checked it just persists in the background till I restart the phone of close the application in Settings. I don't see a close button...

I had the beta and uninstalled it to get back to the original in order to be able to turn off PitDroid. Today Google pushed the new releases - same as beta, no way to shut off. Please restore this functionality.

Jascha has it and found a bad processor and questionable SD card. He has it running well now. And I upgraded my wifi just yesterday to a mesh system that gets signal to every corner of my property, so I'm looking forward to some much easier smoking when I get the HM back.

Well, it DID boot and work when I first reflashed it. Then I put it back into the case - which I've done a dozen or more times and it was hosed. Forst tiime I opened it again and checked I'd indeed popped the SD card loose - I pushed it in again and tried but nothing. Nothing obvious broke...

I just bought one because my HeaterMeter controller died and I'm not an electronics tech so I had to send it to someone who is. I found it listed on Amazon and had a hard tiime finding it here - I tried Tip Top Temp just like Maverick spells it and kept striking out. One of the reviewers on...

Sorry - -I can't get them to show up here by default, but those links seem to work.

OK - I thought it would upload them like many other sites. Or failing that, I figured there might be a place in this forum. I don't have a website and don't store photos anyplace like Flickr, or in fact anywhere online. I'll try OneDrive, AmazonDrive, etc.
