Hi

I have a emoncms low-write 9.7.7 | 2016.10.29

for a week I have all inactive feed

what tests I can do? How can I fix the problem?

From April the system worked fine without stopping

Thank

Zeno

any ideas on how to solve?

You will need to provide a bit more info than that!

Where is the data coming from?
Where is emoncms installed?
Have you changed anything?

Have you checked the FAQ’s? it will give you simple checks and help you to know what info to provide.

Please try and run emonPi update from local Emoncms (Setup > Admin > emonpi update)

Maybe the issues discussed on this thread is the same issue:

Emon TXs not updating after Emonpi update emonPi

Quick version: Replacement emonTx units should not be required. I have identified an issue with the emonPi update (V2.7), I have pushed a new update (V2.8) which should fix the issue. Run emonPi update to pull in and apply the latest firmware (V2.8). Very sorry for the hassle. Please let me know how you get on. The long version: Well remembered. I am aware of the issue with V2.6, therefore V2.7 is based on V2.5, V2.7 has the same ‘RF keep alive’ as V2.5. https://github.com/openenergymoni…

Please provide as much info as possible.

Are you using an emonPi? Please post screenshots of emoncms and provide log files

I have a Raspberry Pi + RFM69Pi Receiver and emonTx V2 (old) .

is about a year that it all works

Check your emonhub frequency setting; is your hardware using 868 or 433Mhz?
It appears that your emonhub is set for 866Mhz??

you’re right, the frequency is set to 866

strange I have not changed from one year to the configuration file.

Now change the frequency

Thank Paul

Solved!!!

I do not know why the frequency is varied

Thank

Hello,

It seems that I have the same error as “Zone”.

I get the same warning “Device communication error” in the emonhub.log. I have the emon SD image (emonSD-03May16) in the raspberry Pi with the module “RFM69Pi” that I bought from the shop but I changed to the RFM12B RF board since I have 868MHz sensors.

Despite the sensors being in the group 7 and sending data to node 5 at 868MHz I can not see anything in the “minicom” serial program: “minicom -b38400 -D/dev/ttyAMA0”.

The serial console seems to be disabled, the minicom connection can make the connection. Also, I am unable to install the serial console script: GitHub - lurch/rpi-serial-console: Simple script to easily enable & disable the Raspberry Pi's serial console. The system tells me the following:

/usr/bin/rpi-serial-console: Read-only file system

¿Could you give some advice?
Thank you very much!!

David.

I think you will need to change the sketch running on the Atmel 328P in your RFM69Pi to use the RFM12B part of JeeLib rather than the RFM69CW part.

You’ll need to change #define RF69_COMPAT 1
to read #define RF69_COMPAT 0
in the source file, then recompile and reload the sketch. You might have to redo this change if you update the image.

The file system is read-only by default. Issue the command rpi-rw, and rpi-ro to put it back to read-only again.

glyn.hudson · 2017-01-31T00:04:26.454Z

If you have an RFM69Pi you will need to use the RFm69Pi code not emonPi:

github.com

openenergymonitor/RFM2Pi/blob/master/firmware/RFM69CW_RF_Demo_ATmega328/RFM69CW_RF12_Demo_ATmega328/src/src.ino#L31

    
      
          //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          
          
/// @dir RF12demo
          /// Configure some values in EEPROM for easy config of the RF12 later on.

          // Major EEPROM format change, refactoring, and cleanup for v12, 2014-02-13
          
          
#define RF69_COMPAT 1 // define this to use the RF69 driver i.s.o. RF12
          
          
#include <JeeLib.h>
          #include <util/crc16.h>
          #include <avr/eeprom.h>
          #include <avr/pgmspace.h>
          #include <util/parity.h>
          
          
#define MAJOR_VERSION RF12_EEPROM_VERSION // bump when EEPROM layout changes
          #define MINOR_VERSION 2                   // bump on other non-trivial changes
          #define VERSION "[RF12demo.14]"           // keep in sync with the above

You could flash the pre compiled RFM69Pi firmware for RFM12B. It’s already on the emonSD ~/RFM2Pi/RFM69CW_RF_Demo_ATmega328/RFM12_Demo_ATmega328.cpp.hex

To flash to your RFM69Pi run:

$ sudo service emonhub stop

$ avrdude -v  -c arduino -p ATMEGA328P -P /dev/ttyAMA0 -b 38400 -U flash:w:~/RFM2Pi/RFM69CW_RF_Demo_ATmega328/RFM12_Demo_ATmega328.cpp.hex

$ sudo service emonhub start
