Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Steve I have an update on MX which may or may not be a help! Having been trying to get MX to run on a Raspberry PI as it seemed a great step forward in a stand alone system and reaching a stone wall. I thought that it may be an idea to try the PI on Windows IOT just in case Jessie was the 'problem' ...

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Thanks Steve very frustrating.

Just in case I completely wiped my PI SD card and reinstalled Jessie/Mono V4 etc and reran just in case I had corrupted something in all the reloads of MX versions.
Unfortunately the end results were the same.

One of those 'funnies' of software and hardware.

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

I have to be honest Steve as I have never modded the ImetWaitTime from its default setting which I think was 200ms.

Since you are suggesting this may help I have put an ImetWaitTime=500 line in the Cumulus.ini file and tried a run which has the attached MXdiags file.

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Apologies Steve I thought logging had been enabled as I had ticked both boxes in the setting screen.

Anyway have added them by hand to the Cumulus.ini file and the new MXdiags file is attached.

Thanks

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Thanks Steve for the latest update on MX.

I have tried a couple of times to get the Instromet to run with this latest version but it seems to still hang up.

I am attaching the MXdiags file.

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Hi Steve and thanks for the latest MX version 3037. I have done a test run with my Pi & Instromet logger but unfortunately there still seems to be a problem. Unfortunately I forgot to enable full error logging so the MXdiag file is the bare bones but it does show the error, I think. If you look ...

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Hi Steve from your explanation I can now see what it is doing or not doing as the case maybe. I can set (or reset) the read and write pointers on the logger to 'force' it to start from a lower number of logs but I presume from what your saying the logger is not moving on at the moment so whether it ...

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Steve I have downloaded and run the latest version of MX -3036.

I was unable to get any browser gauges this time and the web page updates were still not appearing.

I have attached the full MXdiags files for your information.

Cheers

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Thanks Steve but I think it is you who are doing the great job. There are far fewer Instromet Stations around than others and I really appreciate that you spend as much time trying to sort it out as you do.

Glad to help out.

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Steve I think you are getting there. I allowed the system to run for a while and sure enough after a delay ( normal for Logger) the web pages started to upload and at present look OK, apart from the gauges page which seems to have lost the actual images but that may well be something I have messed u...

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

I can see why it thinks the checksum for the lgct response is invalid, and I can fix that. But I can't see any signs of it hanging, it seemed to be reading live data fine, right up the point where you closed it down? What exactly did you see, from the point where you started it up, to when you clos...

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Hi Steve, I have tried MX version 3035 and have attached the latest MXdiags file for your perusal.

It still seems to hang but there is probably more data for your diagnosis.

Thanks

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Thanks Steve and yes I will turn off the Data Logging as I had noticed a rapidly increasing file size.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Re: Raspberry Pi, and an Instromet logger - USB/ serial adap

Hi Steve and Good News from Ghent Kent I did as you suggested and turned off the Time Synchronisation and after that things started to happen. The data flow light on the logger showed there was a data flow in progress. I was able to actually view 'true' data on the gauges panel. The Diags file showe...
