error: 'class Child' has no member named 'setPulseFactor'; did you mean 'setPresentation'?



  • Hello MySensors friends,

    I'm trying to get my raingauge working with nodemanager but I am stuck on setting the pulsefactor and other settingsgiving me errors I can't resolve by myself.
    I am using the easypcb from @sundberg84 (rfm69 version) with mysensor version 2.3.0

    I allready figured out how to use these settings for my temperature and hunidity sensors.
    like htu21.children.get(1)->setValueDelta(0.5); //temp

    But using the same approach for my rainsensors does not work.
    rainGauge.children.get(1)->setPulseFactor(0.36); //pulsefactor

    Can anyone explain why this does not work for the raingauge?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi @edweather, I have no experience with NodeManager, but I had a quick look at the source code.

    setValueDelta is a member of the Child class, which manages all the kinds of data common to all sensors, like their IDs, getting and setting sensor values and their precision, thresholds, etc. This is why you specify it for every children separately, if you're not happy with the default value.

    setPulseFactor on the other hand is a public member of SensorPulseMeter which SensorRainGauge inherits from. It is not specific to any child of the sensor. You are meant to call it directly on the sensor's class instance, like so: rainGauge.setPulseFactor(0.36);

    For the same reason I think you also want to change

      rainGauge.children.get()->setSleepInterruptPin(3); //Sleep interupt pin
      rainGauge.children.get()->setInterruptDebounce(500); //debounce
    

    to

      nodeManager.setSleepInterruptPin(3);
      nodeManager.setInterruptDebounce(500);
    

    because both are public members of the NodeManager class.

    I think that should work for you. If I'm totally wrong, just ignore what I wrote. 😄



  • @BearWithBeard said in error: 'class Child' has no member named 'setPulseFactor'; did you mean 'setPresentation'?:

    rainGauge.setPulseFactor(0.36);

    Up and running!
    Thanks a lot @BearWithBeard for the clear explanation. Now I understand why it did not work!.
