Which instructions were you following? This is my recommendation: Learn→Electricity Monitoring→Using the Arduino IDE
I go to say Jeelib on the GitHub site but I don’t see how/where to download it?
I normally try never to waste my time with Github. If you want emonLibCM and rfmTxLib, here they are:
emonLibCM.zip (132.8 KB)
rfmTxLib.zip (61.3 KB)
thanks you are a godsend. Now I don’t have blue led on usb to uart
That’s a separate issue. Did you follow the 'Learn" pages for installing your Arduino IDE and (if you’re using Windoze) the driver? Did you get the correct driver for your programmer - because The Shop has sold two versions of programmer?
I am using a max and old programmer. I have followed the learn article and installed what I believe to be the correct drivers. All seems to be ok as long as the installer put them in the correct place
That’s good progress.
My best guess is your programmer has a red LED, not a blue one. As far as I know, there is only one LED on the programmer.
I think the next step will be to see if you can compile one of the demo sketches in emonLibCM. It won’t necessarily work without some changes, so don’t try to upload it yet. If you can compile it without errors, that will show that you have most things in place and working.
if I click on any of the sketches that you sent me. they open in arduino with no errors. Not sure what “compile” means.

“Compile” means turning the human-readable sketch you are looking at into a low-level set of instructions that the processor can use. In the Arduino window, top left, there’s a menu: File Edit Sketch Tools Help; and immediately beneath it a set of icons. If you hover your mouse over those, they read Verify Upload New Open Save. The same things are all available via the menu
Verify is what I meant by “Compile” - but it doesn’t send the result to the emonTx. Upload first compiles the sketch, then (provided that there are no errors) sends it to the emonTx.
I think we might need to pause there, and I’ll try to find time this week to put a sketch together for you. I’ve got an emonTx V3.2 here, with an 868 MHz RFM12B, so I can prove everything is correct before I send it. But it will be several days before I can promise to do it.
Ok I can wait. Pretty busy this week anyway.
Try this. It’s the “JeeLib Native” sketch for the emonTx V3.2 converted back to the “JeeLib Classic” format for the radio, so I’ve attached the documentation for the “Native” version as it’s all but identical. The output values are different (but documented), so I’ve put it on a different NodeID - 16.
Unfortunately, my 868 MHz emonPi is running the “Native” radio format, so I can’t test the radio. However, it does appear to be transmitting.
If you compile it, you’ll also need the EEProm library emonEProm.h

Thank you Robert. Remember total idiot here! What is the process for me to compile these 2 files?

Mark Webb
You must first unzip the files. Install the EProm library in the same way as you installed the other library - check back in ‘Learn’ if necessary.
When you’ve done that, copy the EmonTxV32CM directory and its contents into your sketch directory. You can then open EmonTxV32CM.ino with the Arduino IDE and you should see the other file in a second window. The two .pdf files are your documentation for the sketch.
To compile and upload to your emonTx, click the “Upload” icon just below the menu top left.
Note, the data it sends by radio is quite a bit different to your old sketch. I couldn’t find that anywhere, and in any case the modern sketch offers a lot more. The data it sends on the FTDI port is in the correct format for an ESP8266.

seems as if emonLibCM has wrong file extension???
Am I doing something wrong?

Undoubtedly yes! The problem is to figure out what!
The file name is absolutely correct. Are the two library files emonLibCM.cpp and emonLibCM.h both in the same directory? As you mention"/Users/…" I take it this is Windows? Does your directory structure look like the diagram here: https://learn.openenergymonitor.org/electricity-monitoring/arduino-ide/windows10lib, with both in a directory called “emonLibCM”?
Did you get any errors when you unzipped the file you downloaded? Can you look at the two files with a text editor? Are they readable? They start like this:

Unfortunately a Mac! I thought I may need to rearrange files and directories.

had a tidy up of directory structure etc… Still can’t compile. Am I missing libraries? Error log below.

I am having some success. Some of the sketches compile ok now. However I am now missing JeeLib.h and struggling to find.
