This thread is a continuation of a thread started in the old forum A number of users have experienced their RFM69Pi module stopping or freezing, causing emoncms to stop updating it’s RF derived feeds. This can occur at any time, often after weeks or even months of running. My RFM69Pi however has c…

Thanks future moving this thread over. However I’m slightly sad that it’s still running… Has there been any progress into what could be the issue and how it could be solved? The RFM69Pi’s we have been running in the lab and at home and been stable.

Stitching together the ragged ends of the corresponding thread in the old forum. I asked: I gather that the serial comms path is two way - a command stream for changing various RF Module parameters (infrequent) and received packet chat (frequent) streaming back. A command gets a response, I can…

Not to my knowledge or by design in emonhub. emonhub has the ability to write to the serial port => the rfm2pi, not only for the RFM settings, quiet etc but also so send packets out onto network, (currently only really used for the emonGLCD time updates) in between settings and/or transmissions, th…

Ok, understood. I did a quick check with the unmodified RF12demo and the parentheses from … 10 147 0 0 0 0 0 120 95 245 7 (-68) trigger a full command list response. Looks like you have already caught that one. This is part of an effort to force a lockup with the current driver. If the comms pat…

Hi, Not sure if it’s related but I recently have been experiencing problems where I stop getting updates from emonhub. There’s nothing in the emonhub log file to indicate that it’s received any values from the rf module. I opened the RF module using screen (whilst emonhub was running). It seemed…

which RFM2Pi are you using? rfm69pi, rfm2pi(rfm12) or rfm2pi(rfm69) which version of emonhub are you using? original v1.2 or “emon-pi” v?? When you say you used “screen” I assume you started a serial console like minicom or similar? there can only be 2 parties involved with the serial port at any …

Just for info, mine has stopped 3 times in the past 3 days, but has been successfully restarted each time after 5 minutes by a node-red watchdog/script. I’ve temporarily reset the watchdog back to 30 seconds again, but can change it back again if any ‘fixes’ need testing. Paul

Perhaps @emjay can expand on how we can extract some data from your RFM module, although we cannot reproduce the issue on demand your’s does seem to fault frequently enough to make some progress. Maybe once we can gather some more data on the “hung status” we can mimic that on-demand to speed thing…

[image] pb66: which RFM2Pi are you using? rfm69pi, rfm2pi(rfm12) or rfm2pi(rfm69) It’s the RFM69Pi (I believe - not sure what the latter two are?) [image] pb66: which version of emonhub are you using? original v1.2 or “emon-pi” v?? I"m using a modified version of the emon-pi branch. …

[image] adpeace: It’s the RFM69Pi (I believe - not sure what the latter two are?) Just earlier versions the first ATmega328p “v2” boards had rfm12b modules then they got swapped out for rfm69cw’s on the same board, then the v3 board was updated to breakout the extra IO to a new GPIO header an…
