AMG8833 sensor i2c address

[ostr]

I've started having a look at the AMG8833 sensor, as a presence detector where a person is stationary - looks like this could work quite well.

A single sensor would work for most rooms, however for larger rooms 2 sensors may be required.

My understanding for these sensors (I'm trying out the Sparkfun Qwiic board) is that the alternative i2c address is 0x68 (the default being 0x69) - however the plugin has the options of 0x69 and 0x6B. Can this be amended to add 0x68?

Sure .. later today

When you plugin the sensor do on the rpi
i2cdetect -y 1
It will show you the actual address the sensor uses.

Awesome - thanks!

Sensors up and running - now to find a suitable case or mounting...

Updating to v.294 I'm now getting an error in the event log every couple of minutes:

Code: Select all

30 Jun 2019 at 20:51:02
   piBeacon Warning                RPI# 0 check , too many empty messages in a row: 2
   piBeacon Warning                sending reboot command to RPI

However, this also happens on downgrade to v.293 - but not on v.291

[kw123]

need a little more info:

could you ssh to the RPi and do

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/piBeacon.log

also in config set set debug beacon data ON

Karl

[kw123]

AND please set ETH and WLAN parameters in config (and in RPI edit). those are new in these versions

Hi - thanks for coming back on this

Beacon data debug set to on..

and it hangs here

[kw123]

this:

means your ssd has a problem. it was fixed after reboot, but .. ==> so if you have time: make a new SSD

and
ssh to api
cd pibeacon
sudo python master.py

post what's happening

Thanks - just tried to format and create the SSD, still showing the error so will try a new SSD...

hangs at this point...

[kw123]

this looks correct..

next step:

after 10 secs or more after sudo python master.py do :

show which python processes are running:
ps -ef | grep .py

show which messages are send to plugin .. let it run for 2 minutes
tail -F temp/messageSend

(with capital -F not -f)

[kw123]

could we do a chat, instead of 30 min ping pong ..?

eg teamviewer ..?
