Hey,
So I purchased a kit in January this year and only just got around to making it up.
HM v4.2.4 with TC and a rPi model B
I have the following TC and Probes
K type thermocouple 4"probe with Clip, Smoker, Oven
PRO-SERIES® HIGH TEMP COOKING PROBE
So I think I successfully soldered it together and connected the rPi and programmed the SD card.
I insert SD card, plug in a micro usb to the rPi board and turn on the switch!
HM display lights up, flashes up on the screen for 1sec "NO PIT PROBE" then displays the following, then after about 10sec it shows the IP of 192.168.201.1 for the 20 or sec and then back to the following:
Is that correct? Have I connected something backwards? I did solder in, but then removed R18 10K resistor (helps to read all the instructions in the paragraph)
If everything is correct, this is where I get completely lost in the configuration step.
Am I meant to have a ethernet cable plugged into the rPi?
I did purchase a wifi dongle based on the rtl8192cu chipset.
I am missing something fundamentally basic here, or have I monumentally screwed up?
Whilst sitting pondering and reading the forums for guidance, I plugged in the TC (+to+ and -to-) and 1 probe. The TC temp shot up to 630F and the probe 3 came up on the 2nd line of the display showing 108F. So to see if they actually did anything, I held both probe tips inbetween my fingertips, the TC probe dropped into the high 500F and the cooking probe rose to 130F. Why did the TC probe temp drop? Is this from assembling it incorrectly?
cheers
