emonTx3 RFM69pi errors on reception

aliban · 2024-10-23T11:25:50.405Z

I have an old RFM69pi that seems to works ok, just updated to the new firmware version of emonsd and I’m unable to get data from emonTx3.

Connecting with minicom to the RFM69pi I get this messages

Current configuration:
 O i15 g0 @ 433 MHz
 ? G0 30 159 185 255 254 150 55 207 213 255 80 122 241 63 167 135 62 151 244 228 191 (-94)

It seems the emonTx3 its providing the data, but the RFM69pi doesn’t understand it

Well after flashed it with avrdude -v -c arduino -p ATMEGA328P -P /dev/ttyAMA0 -b 38400 -U flash:w:RFM69CW_RF12_Demo_ATmega328.cpp.hex.hex and configure it with the values [RF12demo.13] O i15 g210 @ 433 MHz I got data

The problem now it’s that Emoncms inputs and feeds are empty. ¿Any advice?

Hello @aliban
I think it might be the baud rate in emonhub:

com_baud will need to be 38400 for the RFM69Pi:

[[EmonPi2]]
    Type = EmonHubOEMInterfacer
    [[[init_settings]]]
        com_port = /dev/ttyAMA0
        com_baud = 38400
    [[[runtimesettings]]]
        pubchannels = ToEmonCMS,
        subchannels = ToRFM12,
