    Flaky Pit Temp

    You have a cold solder joint. Take an old toothbrush and scrub the solder connections wit rubbing alcohol until everything shines. Look through a magnifying glass at all the connections; one or more may be dull. Remove the solder (some wicking material is easiest) and re-solder. The bad...

    Just built my first Heatmeter...booting with USB, not with 12V

    Take rubbing alcohol and an old toothbrush to all the solder joints. Any solder joint not shiny is a cold solder joint. This will also clean up the rosin from the solder core. Take your time. Once the board is clean clean clean, you will find it easier to see any solder bridges.

    But wouldn't watching the Bucs cause you to stay much, much longer, regardless? ;)

    The Development Log

    RJ45. That would allow you to use the green pair for the motor, keeping the noise level off the temp probes (green has a tighter twist, great for noise reduction). If you happen to plug in stuff backwards, I don't think any damage will be done. We use POE systems everywhere, and customers...

    HM version 4 Rpi 3d print case

    Have you the stl files for the new case. I have built a couple of cases, and don't think they will stand up to too much. I haven't quite figured out the hows and whats on changing existing cad files to change the thickness, etc.

    HeaterMeter v4.0 for RaspberyPi / Standalone

    I would grab an old toothbrush and a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Power down the system, pour the alcohol on the board, and scrub with the toothbrush. Do it a couple of times, then allow the board to dry. Take a magnifying glass and look at the solder joints. This will help you find any solder...

    I have used that blower on both my 22 in weber, and on a stoker clone,, when the outside temps were just above 0F. Temps were fine at 225F.

    HeaterMeter v4.0 for RaspberyPi / Standalone

    From the outside. I have an instance where we are doing a demonstration cook in Edmonton, but I also have to coach a playoff football game 2 towns over. I want to keep an eye on things to help the cook team with temps and times. I'll be using my cell router, but as it;s a netgear, it doesn't...

    HeaterMeter v4.0 for RaspberyPi / Standalone

    How does one change the port number the pi listens to? I have 2 systems for different smokers, and would like to get to them through a router. I used grep to find the phrase 80, as well as port. My netgear does not allow forwarding port 82 to port a 80 and a different IP (linksys and d-link do).

    HeaterMeter v4.0 for RaspberyPi / Standalone

    If one required a larger fan to run, say 2A, would I only have to change out the 1n4001's for 1n4007? I ran the system last weekend on the weber 22, and found the small fan only took 10 minutes to get the coals up to 225F. Now I wonder about my stoker. My feeling is it will be okay with the...
