I think Bryan Mayland is a BGE user (as am I). I built my Heatermeter to his original specs (fan from the Original Bill of Material) 6.7CFM 12Volt fan. http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/BFB0612H/603-1117-ND/1014448 There are a number of posts out here about building a faceplate to...

I have been waiting to try one of these Ramp scripts on a brisket. Checked Costco again last week and I almost need to put the brisket on my home equity loan at $5.69per lb. If I understand this correctly it should be meat lovers nirvana. I think I paid $1.69 last year for a cheap grade after...

Thank Bryan

Thanks Steve. My old multimeter is pretty beat up but I will give it a shot.

I accidentally pulled the wire out of the K-Type Connector on my heatermeter (to anxious the eat the ribs I guess). Can some confirm that the center wire is the + Positive wire and the outside shield is the – Negative in the K type connector. What I see online would indicate that it doesn’t...

Thanks Ralph. Think I will test it on the old HM 4.0 to be sure it is working. Hope to do some ribs Saturday. I did a turkey HM 4.2 with rotor damper last week and that thermocouple addition is great.

I have been running my HM 4 for a few years off of a old Linksys power supply. I am a little concerned (with the old HM dropping off the network) that the power supply has seen better days. I picked up a new P Supply at the surplus store and the tip is not a perfect match for the input on the...

John, I have been watching your posts for a few years now. We are 10 or 15 miles west of you now but used to live in the Catatoga subdivision just west of Elgin. Even went to Geneva to that science surplus store to restock power supplies (thanks for the idea). Jeremy, John is 100 % correct...

Thanks Bryan I will look into it tonight.

I ordered from Mouser too (on 8/4). Despite showing everything in stock they back ordered one of the LEDs until 8/20. I am not in a rush my 4.0 is working fine. My goal is not to get dinged with extra freight on separate orders. I am still waffling on what to do about probes. One of my...

Please include me. Thanks

32 LBS of pulled pork on the Big Green Egg last weekend for a party of 50. My wife didn't have to cook. She has been 100% on board for a few years now.

Also if they are maverick probes make sure they are not pushed in all the way.

Mine has been complete for a few weeks. Ended up buying the Auber Fan for my Big Green Egg. Whole Chicken and Ribs low and slow so far. Still need to find the sweet spot for the fan. Even running at 50% max at startup seems too high to me. Once it is up to temperature it holds it...

After ordering out a bunch of parts and rebuilding my HM everything is up and running. Thanks for the help. Not sure what the fix was but it is running fine.

The TX pin seems fine not shorted to ground or any other place on the PI connector. Continuity with the Tx pin on the ATMega TX pin and not shorted any place on that chip. Also VCC has 3.3v.

Dave, i did suspect that was TX on the drawing but i was a little confused as to how the pinouts on the chip actually line up. I did put the 3.3v regulator in so am running the heatermeter standalone. Still suspect something under the pi connector. Is there any continuity checking I can do...

I was able to look at the voltages. I am missing 3.3v on the pins with blue arrows. Anyone have suggestion for the next steps. I could have a solder short under the PI connector but before I go down the path of trying to unsolder the connector i wanted some input. Thanks for the help. Bruce

Thanks Bryan I will take a look. At this moment things have gone down hill. I thought I had a cold solder joint on the Pi Connector. After that it won't comminicate with the PI. Solder under the connector may have formed a short. I hate the thought of trying to remove that connector. Just...

Still not really sure where my problem might be. I checked voltages at the probe connector J2. Probes 2 and 3 are at 3.27 volts. Probe 1 is at 3.23v and the pit probe is at 3.18v. Everything drops a bit when a probe is inserted. I wonder if my power supply is a little weak. By adjusting...
