Hello,
I have a few offical Nordic Dev Kits available if anyone would like them. 2 nRF24L01P kits with RF modules and main boards and a few nRF51-DKs. I am in the Pasadena, CA area near JPL. If anyone would like to meet to do a hand off let me know.
I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system.
So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please?
S.
I have success!
(oops, that's suppose to be Timer1)
I only sample for 1/60 of a second. What I did was to back up all the timer registered I used and then resorted them after I was done sampling. (As opposed to initializing the registers in setup and then starting the timer when needed.)
Now I have a Nano sampling the data and sending it to a MySensors Gateway on an RPi3B+ which then sends it to an MQTT broker runing on an old laptop. Also running on the laptop is Home Assistant running inside of VirtualBox.
If MySensors does use Timer1, it appears that restoring the registers allows it to be shared.
//------------------------------------------------------ISR
ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect){ // interrupt service routine for overflow
TCNT1 = TimerPreloadValue; // must be first line! starts the timer counting again
digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PIN,HIGH);
samplesVolts[--sample]=analogRead(VOLTS_IN_PIN); // decrement before capturing
samplesCurrent[sample]=analogRead(CURRENT_IN_PIN);
digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PIN,LOW);
if (!sample){ // count down to zero
digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN,LOW); // indicate that sampling is complete
samplingEnd = micros();
TCCR1B &= 248; // turns off timer
}
}
//------------------------------------------------------sampleOneCycle
void sampleOneCycle(){
// back up timer registers
uint8_t TCNT1_b = TCNT1;
uint8_t TCCR1B_b = TCCR1B;
uint8_t TCCR1A_b = TCCR1A;
uint8_t TIMSK1_b = TIMSK1;
// configure timer which starts the sampling
noInterrupts(); // disable all interrupts
TCCR1A = 0;
TCCR1B = 0;
TCNT1 = TimerPreloadValue; // preload timer
//TCCR1B |= (1 << CS10)|(1 << CS12); // 1024 prescaler
TCCR1B &= 248; // turns off timer?
TIMSK1 |= (1 << TOIE1); // enable timer overflow interrupt ISR
// demark sampling
sample = NUMBER_OF_SAMPLES; // count down to zero
digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN,HIGH);
samplingStart = micros();
TCNT1 = 65535; // first trigger right away!
TCCR1B |= 1; // turns on timer
interrupts(); // enable all interrupts
// wait for sampling to be complete
while(digitalRead(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN)){};
samplingEnd = micros();
// restore timer registers
TCNT1 = TCNT1_b;
TCCR1B = TCCR1B_b;
TCCR1A = TCCR1A_b;
TIMSK1 = TIMSK1_b;
}
I bought the Every because it implied it was backward compatible with the nano. No, it's not, as we found out.
Be that as it may, any word on a getting the Every working with mySensors?
There are air quality monitors that can detect VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and some that claim to pick up marijuana smoke specifically. Devices like the Airthings Wave Plus, uHoo Air Sensor, or Plume Labs Flow could help identify changes in air quality. Another option is checking with industrial-grade smoke detection companies that provide sensors for businesses and schools, and some of them may also have solutions suited for home use.
