OK I started all over, re-wrote the img and flashed the firmware included with the updated software and it is now working again. Does this mean the latest online firmware won't work on a v4.2.4 board? I kind of doubt that . . . I can at least do my smoke. david

I've to a Pi Model B with a V4.2.4 hardware. I updated the software and that went well, I then updated the firmware and while it says it completed successfully, the web service now says there is a communication error with the AVR. I tried a couple times and no difference. I tried downgrading...

I think I fixed it. I went and wiggled the switch around and around. Must have had something in it that was pushing the button and triggering the lid. It's been working sense. Now to continue with the smoke of my 40 day dry aged brisket. david

All, I've an odd problem. The open lid keeps getting triggered, like constantly. there is no fluctuation in the temperature, as it hasn't even gotten up to temp yet. It may never get there with the lid triggering and stopping the fan. I've tried different % settings, from 100% to 0%. Is...

Also verify that the SSR actually works reliably at 5v. Most of the cheap Chinese ones I've gotten don't reliably work at 5V even though they are spec'd for 3.2v to 32v. I've never had an issue with Crydom brand, but they cost ~7x as much and the Chinese ones. david

For my UDS I wanted to be able to use charcoal or an electric element. The electric element allows me to smoke bacon, sausage and things that need to be < 140F. I use the HM in either case. I created a single 2" hole along the bottom edge and used a threaded steel nipple. I then thread on a...

Ralph: this one? http://www.thermoworks.com/TW-113-442-GC?tw=VWB&chan=TVWBB or this one? http://www.thermoworks.com/THS-113-178?tw=VWB&chan=TVWBB thanks

I'll look at that one. I bought three of these: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_3&products_id=327 everyone failed within a year at three different places. thanks for the pointer

I had the second to the latest version of the software so I took a change and flashed my smoker :) It is all working now. thanks for the help. I've removed any ability for me to use my smoker in a manual manner so I'm quite dependent of the controller working. I'll have to get my backup...

Hmm doesn't work. I have my temp set at 275 and it is a zero fan and 245. I'll just use the manual controls those appear to work. I think I have the latest software version, but can't find it in the GUI to check.

That is what I tried first and it doesn't work. Just says no pit probe.

My thermocouple died, this is three of three I bought at the same time. Mine, my brothers and friends. They have all died. So I would like to use probe 2 instead of probe 0. I changed it in the configuration page, set it to internal, the same as probe 2 currently configured. However, it...

Question for you guys. My printer has been working fine, but recently something changed. When I home my Z-axis it works fine, as long as the print head is not powered. As soon as I power my print head, it no longer detects my z-axis limit switch. I'm using an inductive based switch. The odd...

Reflashing the AVR fixed it. david

Any ideas on how to figure out what is wrong? I've ohmed out the button board and the buttons report correct values. In the past if there was a problem one of the button resistors was borked, but all three appear correct. What tolerance is acceptable? Maybe my top resistor is a bit out of...

Is the rPi 3B supported? Bryan's store says not 2B or 3B david

All, Looking for recommendations on a Rpi A+ or B+ or Zero for a couple new 4.3 builds. Having never built a 4.3 I'm open to pros/cons. Is one easier to build with? These will be dedicated to the HM. thanks david

I did some testing and when when the battery went low enough to stop the HM it burned up my wireless dongle and corrupted the sdcard. The rPi wouldn't even boot after that. I was able to reformat my card, but the wifi was a goner. I did a 16h cook, off three pork buts (~9 lbs each) and a 12...

If you hooked up the servo incorrectly even for a moment it is fried. Had this happen to me a before. david

I configured a HM for my brother and had it hooked to my wifi to get the servo configured. When he plugs it into his network (wired) it didn't DHCP to give him a chance to configure for his WIFI. Is this expected? Does it only DHCP if a wifi isn't setup? thanks, david
