piBeacon: presence monitoring plugin discussions

fixed G.timezones in line 1288, piBeaconUtils. in next release,

the stopBLE not found can be ignored. It is not an error, it is exists it is a msg from other processes, ==> will suppress msg

so do you still get
05-17:09:48 beaconloop execbeaconloop L:982 Lv:50 in Line 973 has error=timed out.. sock.recv error, likely time out ?

@GlennNZ:

published new version .346 with fixes for timezone, NTP install and removed the stopBLE msg

Thanks Karl! Thats fixed those..

Working my way through a few other bits and pieces,

the INPUT-ADC-4x12/16bit-one-channel-i2c-ADS1x15 device
Have a few that has now updated (see it has had considerable code changes)
Seems a few issues:
- status: from device always blank
- state: always 0
- INPUT_raw: 255.99 - always??

Even for different devices on different rpis?

Below is logging from rpis with everything line with 255.99 - as can see across multiple (well I have three) sensors connected to two different rpis, and quite different devices always give the same answer...

.. my config

With some of the hardware boards you need to be careful with ground. It is connected to the RPi ground make sure that your sensor connected to the board is floating.
Also if you could disconnect input from the ADC converter and just touch the input with your fingers, you should see some changes in value.
And do you have other inputs ie i2c conflicts?

AND THESE ADC are sensitive to over voltage > VDD = 3.3V !! they die

Hi Karl,

Thousand apology's for the delay - I know how annoying it is to troubleshoot over gap of days. Few things going on in world/work and all!

These devices I haven't touched/rewired or looked at for a few years. They were working with the previous device definition - but updated then as you depreciated it.
Seems strange to me that both reading the same amount following this update.

I had the same problem with a broken chip. The value was constant 512

Also normally the i2c channels are 2 apart ( not 48 and 49) ... what other sensor do you have attached?

and for the parameter file do a
cat
not a
tail
need to see the section:
"sensors": {
"ADS1x15": {
...
}

in the parameters file
and the directory listing needs the date stamp:
ls -l

... just saw, you are NOT using the old device def?
In Indigo you need to delete and recreate with the new device type

Karl
ps.. and / or show the device edit screen shot

Adding rest..

gain = 16 for both (param= 256 == 16x) maxes out at 0.256 volt = 255.99 bits (rounding effect)

try gain = 1 ( param = 4096) and see what happens

Karl
the device edit section for that parameter:

Code: Select all

			<Field id="gain" type="menu"     defaultValue="4096"> <Label>Gain:</Label>
			<List>
				<Option value="6144"   >2/3 Gain : max=6.144V, 3mV/bit     res only if V+ 6V.xV </Option>
				<Option value="4096"   >1   Gain : max=4.096V, 2mV/bit     res default, goes to max 3.29V if V+=3.3V used</Option>
				<Option value="2048"   >2   Gain : max=2.048V, 1mV/bit     res</Option>
				<Option value="1024"   >4   Gain : max=1.024V, 0.5mV/bit   res</Option>
				<Option value="512"    >8   Gain : max=0.512V, 0.25mV/bit  res</Option>
				<Option value="256"    >16  Gain : max=0.256V, 0.125mV/bit res</Option>
			</List>

Yah!

Thanks - thats it - at least they now all give different readings...

Has there been a change in how this affects the raw input, I am still testing but warying of time difference so posting now

These images are the old device definitions - where for WaterTank-Level sensor with these settings would expect a value of 800-900 with the gain set as below
(new definition ?same gain maxs out at 299?)

kw123 · Post by **kw123** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 10:01 pm

I need to check. But the gain settings should be the same

. May be the old was wrong. The new one is correct.

What are the actual voltages 800-900 mV?
Then yes the high gain will always result in max / overflow.

Thanks

Yes voltages given with old device and x16 gain 858, 1049, & 1051 (from looking a old, production computer settings)

Just presumed more gain, better resolution when I was creating

New devices maxing out at 255.99 - explains the across device issues I was seeing.

Trouble is had created a graph of various readings for sensor, matched to watertank pressure levels which gave me cm of water in tank.
Will have to check whether same rules apply now with a different gain.

Thanks!

You can use offset and mult 1 2 to get the same values as before

Thanks Karl

Unfortunately used offset/multiple (as you'll see in device definitions) to covert the mV to CMS and unfortunately don't have the mV graph data that I collected at multiple water levels anymore.

here the resolution:

this was the old code:

Code: Select all

			if sensors[sensor][devId]["gain"] != "" :
				g=sensors[sensor][devId]["gain"]
			if g>6144: g=6144
			if g<256:  g=256
			if g%2!=0: g=6144

in principle correct but gain was "256" , not 256.
and "256" > 6144 == True ( also "6144" > 6144 ==True)
hence g= 6144 ALWAYS
So your setting was: 2/3 Gain : max=6.144V, 3mV/bit

if you use that setting it should behave like before.

So no matter what you picked it was always gain 2/3 => 3mV / bit; 0..... 6.144V
Measuring 3mV /bit accuracy in a stable way over a longer wire is actually not trivial. So you actually did not loose a lot of accuracy.

>>> IF<<< the voltage is 800.900 mV you could set the gain to 4 and change the multiplier from 1 to 0.25 and offset to oldOffset *4 , that SHOULD work.
value = ( raw + offset )* mult

Perfect thanks!
