Schematic Diagram
Firstly I have just stumbled on this and it looks amazing, I recently spent 14hrs baby sitting my Weber to smoke a brisket.... I would love to get involved but my Dev skills are very limited so maybe I could help test?
Anyway I am super keen to get this up and running, can you help with any hardware suggestions (above what you already have) and a schematic / wiring diagram.
Ill get set up and then offer testing (good excuse to get more smoking on!)
What I really should do is make a little print plate for it for the required components. That said, I have made mine and I regularly smoke and each time the thing is working, weather I use briquettes or charcoals:) Current working on some exams, after that I can pick it up again , if anything use the esp32 mentioned!
Thanks for the quick reply.
A print plate would be pretty cool! I'll look at the eap32 it wasn't available on Bangood but I'll hunt around for it.
As for the fan do you just use an on / off or have you found a good PWM one, I was looking at the pit Viper (https://bbqguru.com/storenav?CategoryId=2) But it seems expensive and I'm in UK so shipping is a problem too.
I used a 12V version of this one https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1972327081.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.2d2679d2sAsr90&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld if the fan is a bit bigger, it runs more silent and more smooth. I did need to get. 5V to12V transformer to make it run… I 3D printed an adapter to a round tube to connect it to the BBQ . I used some cork to seperate the metal tube from the 3D printed plastic to ensure the past ik would not melt.
