Stokerlog Version 6


 
Hi Amir:

I was tired on Saturday after the cook, and somewhat frustrated with my computer. I'm going to try another cook either this or next weekend, with a fresh reboot of my Win7 system to try and isolate the issue, I'm guessing it is probably something on my end vs the software.

Is there anything I can do in terms of software updates to make sure I am maximizing my chance of success?
 
FYI,

You can now change the Web Server Port from the default PORT 80 with the latest beta version 2.7.0.31 of the Stoker software

You shouldn't need anything.

By the way, you don't need to be cooking to test this. Just connect to stoker, set the blower temp to below room temperature being shown and see if the fan indicator comes on. Indeed, it is best to do this indoor so that you can see/hear the fan next to your computer.

Also, there is a simulation mode in stokerlog that runs without stoker. Run that and make sure the fan indicator shows there. If so, we know the stokerlog itself is healthy.

ok i think i got it ....
rebooted
tried it again
then it came up with the permission issue
set it to run as admin ...
it works ...
now time to play with the new features.
 
You can now change the Web Server Port from the default PORT 80 with the latest beta version 2.7.0.31 of the Stoker software

This is very helpful to those who do not have a router with Port Translation when PORT 80 is blocked by their ISP.

I've been sick for the past week or so, I'm hoping to get caught up so I can look at this in the next few days. One question: should I be running the app as admin? I havent been but will if that might help.
 
Yes, you need to run as admin. I have it fixed but waiting to get twitter working before posting the version that doesn't require admin.
 
I put this in another thread but I guess I should have put it here. I am running a Windows 7 machine and I have everything I think set up correctly. But I seem to be having problems connecting to the stoker (I am using an ethernet or cross over cable)

This is the error

I have tried to read but still can't figure this out. Sorry if it has been asked before.
 
Sorry, this is is a known problem with Win7. Just run the program as administrator. The instructions are in this page or last.

Hi Amir -- just wanted to check on the status of the Android app. How's it coming along? You ready for any testers -- I'll volunteer.

We are coming into the slow part of our season so this would be a great time to play with a new gadget.

Thanks again Amir for the awesome job you have done with StokerLog.
 
Thanks for the interest Steve. Unfortunately I have gotten way too busy at work so have not had time to spend on this. I agree with the colder weather out there, there is more time indoor to play around. My priority is to button down the next incremental release of stokerlog and then move on to other things.
 
I recent upgaded to version 2.7.0.31 of the firmware on my Stoker. Most normal things are working fine, I can use the web interface to setup and monitor everything. The StokerLog program also still works but with alarm issues. Below is what I've noticed as odd:

1) Twitter via Supertweet no longer works.
2) When I setup a fire pit alarm via the web interface it works, but if I then update (F5) the StokerLog program, it shows no fire pit alarm.
3) If I setup a Fire pit alarm via Stokerlog, it turns off the alarm that I use to see on the web interface.
4) StokeMaster iPhone App also has the same polarity issue with the alarms as StokerLog.

Anyone else seeing these issues?
 
I am using the 2.7.0.31 software and supertweet/twitter is working fine. Were you having twitter problems during an actual smoke or were you bench testing your Stoker? I found when bench testing I needed both temp probes plugged in and the pit probe plugged in for Twitter to work. During an actual smoke one temp probe and the pit probe was fine and twitter worked. I know it doesnt make any sense but that is my experience. Maybe it has something to do with data packet size. I posted this result in an earlier thread. Bottom line supertweet/twitter works good with latest software.

I never tried to change alarms with Stokerlog. I usually have alarms off at Stoker and on in Stokerlog. So I am no help here.

I have same problem with Stokemaster but with the blower. If I turn blower on at Stokemaster it turns blower off at Stoker and vise-versa. I am afraid to use Stokemaster as it seems to cause opposite things at Stoker. Dan
 
2) When I setup a fire pit alarm via the web interface it works, but if I then update (F5) the StokerLog program, it shows no fire pit alarm.

I will check into this.
3) If I setup a Fire pit alarm via Stokerlog, it turns off the alarm that I use to see on the web interface.
Click to expand...
I am 99% sure this is by design. in that I turn off all the alarm on stoker when you use stokerlog. The reason is that stokerlog alarms are only active on the PC now and so when you sync it with stoker, it lies to it as to them not being on.
 
Were you having twitter problems during an actual smoke or were you bench testing your Stoker? I found when bench testing I needed both temp probes plugged in and the pit probe plugged in for Twitter to work. During an actual smoke one temp probe and the pit probe was fine and twitter worked. I know it doesnt make any sense but that is my experience. Maybe it has something to do with data packet size. I posted this result in an earlier thread. Bottom line supertweet/twitter works good with latest software.

I only had the fire probe and blower plugged in so if it required a meat temp probe, that maybe the problem. I'll test this on the bench with a blower, fire probe and 1/2 temp probes and see.
