OK. So I have my phidgets thermocouple showing readings on my PC laptop. I have configured and started the web service in the phidgets control panel.
Bonjour shows it is running. Laptop and iPad are on the same wireless network.
In RoastMaster, I create a probe, enter the serial number and port 0 (I only bought the 1 port PTS).
The probe says "unlinked". Any idea what step I missed?
Laptop is running Windows 7. Is there anything I need to configure in the laptop security or anything?
I am really looking forward to getting this up and running.
Thanks! Nancy

Aha. I think I have figured it out. There was a mismatch in the webservice prototcol with the Phidgets latest version. I was able to find the links on their site to the older version and have installed that and I now am getting data from the stand alone thermocouple. Whoo hoo.
Now I just need to attach the thermocouple and my roaster and we will be cooking.

Hi Nancy
Glad you're up and running! I'll let the guys at Phidgets know about this. I used a previous version throughout development, and never saw this error - obviously it shouldn't be happening.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Nancy,
I just encountered the same problem like what you had. However, I am using Mac OSX. Just wonder where do you find an older version of the driver?
Thanks,
Eric

Just got a quick response from Danny. He gave me a link to download an older version from Phidgets website. Looking forward to tomorrow roasting.

I Spoke to Phidgets - the error is 100% accurate. You must use the same version of the Phidget software as the internal API that Roastmaster is using inside the app. I had thought there was forward-compatibility, but this is not the case.
I will be maintaining a chart of driver compatibility in the new Setting Up Data Logging (http://rainfroginc.com/documentation/setting-up-data-logging/) post in the documentation on the main site.
Sorry for your troubles and thanks for letting me know about this.
Danny
