Monitor a DIY solarpanel with ASC712 - HELP

[Hausner]

Has anyone gotten a ASC712 to work with a actuator node?

I'm trying to monitor my diy solar panel, so that I can see what it is producing(if).

I've tried with the code below, but I can't get the node to send the readings to the gateway. I'm using a 30A ASC712 to do the readings. (Don't mind the motion sensor part).

My last code:

// Example sketch showing how to control physical relays. 
// This example will remember relay state even after power failure.

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
const int analogIn = A0;
int mVperAmp = 66; // use 100 for 20A Module and 66 for 30A Module
int RawValue= 0;
int ACSoffset = 2500; 
double Voltage = 0;
double Amps = 0;
double Voltage_new = 0;
double Amps_new = 0;

#define RELAY_1 6  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for first relay (second on pin+1 etc)
#define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 2 // Total number of attached relays
#define RELAY_ON 1  // GPIO value to write to turn on attached relay
#define RELAY_OFF 0 // GPIO value to write to turn off attached relay

// Motion sensor defs
unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 10000; // Sleep time between reports (in milliseconds)
#define DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR 3   // The digital input you attached your motionsensor.  (Only 2 and 3 generates interrupt!)
#define INTERRUPT DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR-2 // Usually the interrupt = pin -2 (on uno/nano anyway)
#define CHILD_ID 3   // Id of the sensor child
volatile int state = LOW;
boolean lockLow = true;
boolean lastTripped = 0;

MySensor gw;
MyMessage msgMotion(CHILD_ID, V_TRIPPED);
MyMessage msgvolt(4, V_VOLTAGE);
MyMessage msgcur(5, V_CURRENT);
MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID, V_LIGHT);

void setup()  
{   
  // Initialize library and add callback for incoming messages
  gw.begin(incomingMessage, AUTO, true);
  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  gw.sendSketchInfo("Relay/Motion Sensor", "1.0");

  // Fetch relay status
  for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_1; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS;sensor++, pin++) {
    // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
    gw.present(sensor, S_LIGHT);
    // Then set relay pins in output mode
    pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);   
    // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage) 
    digitalWrite(pin, gw.loadState(sensor)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
  }
  
  pinMode(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR, INPUT);      // sets the motion sensor digital pin as  input
  // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_MOTION);
  // attachInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR, ON, CHANGE);
  //delay(30000);
  gw.present(4, V_VOLTAGE);
  gw.present(5, V_CURRENT);
}


void loop() 
{
  // Alway process incoming messages whenever possible
  gw.process();

  //boolean tripped = (digitalRead(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR) == HIGH);
  //  if (lastTripped != tripped ) {
//	gw.send(msgMotion.set(tripped?"1":"0")); // Send new state
//	lastTripped=tripped;
//   }
  
  //Serial.print("Raw Value = " ); // shows pre-scaled value 
  //Serial.print(RawValue);
  //gw.send(msgvolt);
  //Serial.print("\t mV = "); // shows the voltage measured 
  //Serial.print(Voltage,3); // the '3' after voltage allows you to display 3 digits after decimal point
  //Serial.print("\t Amps = "); // shows the voltage measured
  for ( int i=0; i<=20; i++ ){
    RawValue += analogRead(analogIn);
    delay(50);
  }
  Voltage = (RawValue / 1023.0) * 5000; // Gets you mV
  Amps = ((Voltage - ACSoffset) / mVperAmp);
  
  //gw.send(msgcur);
  Serial.print("mV = "); // shows the voltage measured
  Serial.println(Voltage);
  //Serial.println(Amps,3); // the '3' after voltage allows you to display 3 digits after             decimal point
  //delay(2500);
}
void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
  // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
 if (message.type==V_LIGHT) {
 // Change relay state
 digitalWrite(message.sensor-1+RELAY_1, message.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
 // Store state in eeprom
 gw.saveState(message.sensor, message.getBool());
 // Write some debug info
 Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");
 Serial.print(message.sensor);
 Serial.print(", New status: ");
 Serial.println(message.getBool());
 }
}

Any help would be appreciated :)

PS: Att HEK - why isn't there a "insert code" button, just like the "insert link" button?

Sorry. Haven't found any nodebb-plugin which add this in the composer. So you have to surround code with 4 backticks ```` in the meantime.

@Hausner Serial Monitor output OK?

[Hausner]

No, serial monitor was just for testing. I would like to push it to mqtt.

I found the V_VOLTAGE and V_CURRENT, and the serial monotir showed up correctly as 38/39.

@Hausner So the problem is with the node transmitting anything to the gateway?

Post the radio messages from the serial monitor and hopefully someone can tell you what's going on..
