Removing D0-D3 helped. Once I disconnected those I started seeing gibberish text on the display. Not sure if that's due to a bad flash, mis-wired component or operator. Still haven't had a chance to flash the firmware you suggested. Hoping to have some time tonight to keep plugging away at...

Double checked the continuity from the shift register and everything checks ok. Tried replacing D2 and still no luck.

When I go towards 0V I get the line of white blocks. Turning my pot I can go to 4.95V. No text.

Have you adjusted the contrast potentiometer R6? If the contrast is set too high you get one line of full blocks. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, adjusted the pot all the way and still no characters. What are the LCD pulldowns for? I've tried with and without the resistors and no luck there either. I...

I'm at a loss here. Web page displays everything ok but just blocks on the lcd display. My display appears to be wired properly. Looking for any troubleshooting advice. Does this sound like an issue with a component wired wrong? Display wiring? Operator error?

Made some progress. Finally got my 328 chip programmed so my linkmeter board is complete. Powered up the router and it recognizes the heatermeter. My problem now is my display only shows blocks on the top row of the display. Anyone have any ideas what might be going on with my board?

Have everything assembled for my linkmeter but I'm having a heck of a time getting my bootloader uploaded to my atmega328 chip. Followed the wiki and have tried both the breadboard and the icsp on the linkmeter board. Keep getting this error. avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00...

Fixed! Linkmeter build is back on. This is good stuff for the wiki as all of the failsafe documentation on the web points to 192.168.1.1 for recovery. Thanks Bryan!

So I must hang my head in shame. Last night I uploaded the linkmeter image to my wrt54gl. Long story short. Set the password, logged in a couple times as I was playing with the software. Things were good. This morning I couldn't login. $#&*! I have no idea what I did. Anyways, what are my...

Is there any plans for the SD card? Getting all my parts collected for the linkmeter build and wondering if it's worth adding.

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking to buy a thermopen for awhile now but the $90 tag always makes me cringe.

Stored mine outside on the deck with a cover for over a year. Just built a garage so now I store it in there.

I reuse my charcoal as well. Never had an issue. After the coals are cold I knock off all of the ash and toss whats left in a coffee can till the next cook.

Buy smaller bottles of sauce and use fresh for your competitions. Here's my reasoning and it's just simple math. I'm not sure what sauce you're using but I'll use Blues Hog as an example. A gallon costs $25. 4 quart containers total costs $27. That's a $2 difference. I would personally not...

I went digging through the drawers to see what I could find. Turns out we have (make that had) a gadget for measuring spaghetti noodle portions.

Best BBQ in Des Moines. Smokey D's BBQ

I've been following this thread for awhile now and finally decided to order the parts for this build. Looks like this is going to be a fun project.
