I fired up the pit tonight for my first cook with the latest firmware snapshot installed and have run into a problem. I am getting "Probe Noise" on the pit probe, which I thought I liked at first until I realized the probes were already warmed up enough to register... If I went to manual fan mode the pit probe seemed to register a steady 75 degrees even though I know it was hotter than that and getting hotter, if I go back to auto mode I get "Probe Noise" again.
I rolled back to the release firmware and all the probes read fine again, then flashed the snapshot and same deal. I pulled the probes from the damper end and plugged them directly into the HM and they did register then, back out on the CAT5 cable and I've got "Probe Noise" again. I also noticed that I was getting "Probe Noise" even when I had no probes plugged in anywhere, just the CAT5 running out to the damper with the fan and servo connected.
I'm not sure if this has to do with the changes in the servo motion or the "Probe Noise" feature, but whatever is going on in the snapshot firmware it is making the probes pick up more interference over the CAT5 wire it seems, or making it more sensitive to it somehow....
