Hello,

Sorry i should have made a new thread not sure what i was thinking....

anyways

plugged in my previously good heater meter build today and noticed it booted up really fast ,bypassed the whole part where it gets a ip and displays it and everything...

Servo and fan all work ok but no webpage on my network...

Plugged it in with a ethernet cable same results.

Tonight i plugged in an hdmi cable to get a video output and see no output from the raspberry pi.....

Anyone have a pi die on them suddenly? I have noticed the pi does get awful warm...not scorching but fairly warm....
 
The HeaterMeter should always boot in under a second, it doesn't rely on the Pi at all.

I'd check the SD card to make sure it is getting good contact. The SD connector on the Pi is kinda not great so it is really easy for it to not make full contact and fail to boot. Also you can pop the SD card into a computer to make sure it is still formatted.

The Pi does get warm but it never gets hot enough to get even close to damaging it, even if left in the sun.
