well....there is likely an unknown amount of times I quietly cursed the heatermeter for not reading a pit probe on the extension for the rd3 blower, when in actuality I had it plugged into the wrong ethernet port. That also means there's been a few cooks when there was no fan running or servo...

<--- all of a sudden very nervous that his problems are caused completely by his ineptness....will need to check in g a moment....

The blinking lights on the cat5 connector on the heatermeter, like the lights that blink when there's data moving. I know the led's on the heater meter are still on and acting as if the heatermeter is driving an output.

Just jumped the fan with the m12 battery adapter and it started right up. It looks like it's something with the board unfortunately.

I believe it is one of the RD3's with the external thermocouple board. So I noticed last night that there was no blinking on the cat5 connection at the heatermeter. Today I checked the cable with one of my testers and it came back faulty. So I checked another cable that I had made earlier for...

well I take that back, it seems as though the servo isn't working and the fan appears to be dead as well.

Noticed when starting a cook this afternoon that the temperature output from the rd3 was a bit off. Once it was plugged in the temperature dropped steadily 245 degrees in a linear fashion down to 88.2 degrees. I confirmed with my thermopen that the pit temp was around 150 degrees. I took the...

Thank you Bryan, I've go through some of the solder joins, and did remove the bridge, though from what I'm reading that might not actually change anything. Doing a test burn right now, and thus far none of the symptoms from before have come back.

Actually also just realized something. I have a servo/fan housing that also hosts a thermocouple port. I have had the thermocouple plugged into this as well as the actual heatermeter. This make me think it might not be specific to the thermocouple plug on the actual heatermeter and more likely...

Looking at the pictures a lot closer... https://heatermeter.com/devel/pcb/hm-4.3/images-base/step12-2.jpg it doesn't look like there's a bridge. Warming up the solder...

Thank you Bryan, Looking more closely at where the chip is it is on the side where the thermocouple plugs in, but on the side of the raspberry pi. Opening the case and taking a look it doesn't look too bad, but there is one thing I noticed near the thermocouple solder points. There is a small...

In the middle of our move unfortunately it looks like the heatermeter may have been dropped as one of the corners is chipped. Even after this it worked fine for at least one rib smoke, but the last rib smoke I noticed that at times the temperature would drop at a linear rate according to the...
