Emontx-V3 Upgrade to the last release

droussea · 2020-07-30T11:58:55.617Z

Robert,
the value of the voltage at zero is not possible because the CT1 has inserted on one phase from the Grid and CT4 is come from the solar.

also I can confirm that the emonhub don’t received the info from emontx (confirm with minicom & the log file) => for me the radio part is not working properly .

also on platofrmio, i have a lot function not defined

Have you tried my suggestion?

Robert.Wall · 2020-07-30T12:28:52.607Z

Sorry, but I cannot run platformio, therefore I can only support you if you use the Ardruino IDE.

BUT - it looks as if you have not downloaded all the necessary files to compile the sketch.

Download ALL the files in the “src” directory on Github, and if you are using the Arduino IDE, put them all into a directory called “EmonTxV3CM” in your sketchbook directory. That should compile and upload successfully. I cannot help you with what you need if you try to do it any other way.

droussea · 2020-07-30T12:29:16.797Z

yes already done no change

droussea · 2020-07-30T13:11:56.099Z

just try with arduino ide … but after the very / compil => load_config function is not defined

Hello @droussea you may be intereted to try this method here of uploading pre-compiled EmonTx3CM firmware to an EmonTx: Uploading the latest EmonTxV3CM Firmware to an EmonTx using a emonPi/emonBase It would at least ensure that your running the same thing as we are

droussea · 2020-07-30T14:15:28.654Z

disappointed don’t have this option release 10.2.3 of emoncms … just have also an emonhub not emonPI or base

Robert.Wall · 2020-07-30T14:19:01.753Z

droussea:

load_config function is not defined

Yes, it IS defined, it is in the file config.ino

static void load_config(bool verbose)
{

Please read again what I wrote in Post no. 12

Robert.Wall:

Download ALL the files in the “src” directory on Github,

Sounds as if you may be a bit confused…
emonhub is software
emonBase and emonPi are hardware devices.

droussea · 2020-07-30T18:09:44.407Z

that’s right I use the emonhub running on one rapsberry to convert RF 433 to ip-emoncms

droussea · 2020-07-30T19:13:26.916Z

Hello Robert
FYI, the radio running on my emontx is a RFM12 not a 69
I have go in deep of the code and the problem appear in the rfm_init function
how can we debug this ?

That is your problem. The file rfm.ino that you have says at the top: “Interface for the RFM69CW Radio Module” The RFM12B requires a completely different set of instructions.

The best I can offer is this library. It is ALMOST the same as the rfm.ini file that you have, but it adds the ability to control the radio power. There’s documentation (in English - sorry).

The rfm_init( ); function is the same, but the rfm_send( ) function adds the rf power. But you don’t need to specify it, it will default to maximum - which is what you have used until now.

So where you have (2 places)

rfm_send((byte *)&tmp, sizeof(tmp), networkGroup, nodeID, busyThreshold, busyTimeout);

you can reduce that to only
rfm_send((byte *)&tmp, sizeof(tmp), networkGroup, nodeID);
and rf_power, threshold & timeout will use the default values.

To use this in your sketch, you must delete (or move) rfm.ino, and install the library (2 files: rfmTxLib.h and rfmTxLib.cpp) into a directory rfmTxLib in your Arduino libraries directory.

Then, in EmonTxV3CM.ino, you must add
#define RFM12B
and after it
#include <rfmTxLib.h>

and you can delete these lines

#define RFM69CW
#define RFMSELPIN 10
#define RFMIRQPIN 2 
#define RFPWR 0x99

If enum rfband {RF12_433MHZ = 1, RF12_868MHZ, RF12_915MHZ }; gives you an error, delete it. (It is already in the header file.)

and change “2” to “1” here:
int rf_whitening = 2;

And I think that will work.

thx a lot Robert but have you an idea of the previous version ? to restore it ?

Robert.Wall · 2020-07-30T21:25:11.697Z

The previous version of what?

droussea · 2020-07-30T21:47:48.391Z

before the upgade the emontx working well and due at the upgrade 3.4 ko (

Robert.Wall · 2020-07-30T21:56:20.719Z

You want the discrete sampling sketch for an emonTx V3.4 with RFM12B radio?
Don’t you like my library?

I think it will be this: emontx3/firmware/src at master · openenergymonitor/emontx3 · GitHub
but you must change it for your RFM12B - line 74.

droussea · 2020-07-30T22:38:02.616Z

yes i like it but both option are not working

Robert.Wall · 2020-07-30T22:51:19.897Z

droussea:

but both option are not working

Which options? And how are they not working?

droussea · 2020-07-30T22:57:21.767Z

always on rf12_initialize in the setup function and always circle on this function and never arrive in the loop function

Robert.Wall · 2020-07-30T23:52:41.879Z

Did you change Line 74:
#define RF69_COMPAT 1 // Set to 1 if using RFM69CW or 0 if using RFM12B
to
#define RF69_COMPAT 0
