emonGLCD no longer receiving time info from emonBase

Submitted by tsvikabp on Mon, 01/09/2014 - 21:31

Hi,

After uploading the new emonSD-13-08-14.img to my Raspberry Pi (Model B) everything is working great with only one problem:

the emonGLCD is no longer receiving time info from emonBase :

if (node_id == 15) //Assuming 15 is the emonBase node ID

{

RTC.adjust(DateTime(2012, 1, 1, rf12_data[1], rf12_data[2], rf12_data[3]));

last_emonbase = millis();

}

The Base id==15

Any idea why ?

I think you need to turn it on in the RPi - try searching, I've seen a recent post about this.

You do (currently) need to add a line to emonhub.conf to activate it on the Pi. See the emonGLCD time update thread.

Hi Paul,

the emonhub.conf already contain the phrase "interval = 300" :

# This interface manages the RFM2Pi module

[[RFM2Pi]]

Type = EmonHubJeeInterfacer

[[[init_settings]]]

com_port = /dev/ttyAMA0

[[[runtimesettings]]]

group = 210

frequency = 433

baseid = 15

interval = 300

any ideas ?

Thank you

Where are you editing emonhub.conf?

The on the emonSD-13-08-14.img it is located at /boot/emonhub.conf.

If you need to you can change the loglevel to debug and watch the new log file entries using

tail -f /var/log/emonhub/emonhub.log

you should be able to pick out the log message every 5mins confirming "RFM2Pi transmitting time: HH:MM" (you could also temporarily set a shorter interval like "interval = 10" just to test so you don't need to watch for ages)
