Multisensor PIR problem [solved]

[torfinn]

Hi ! I had the same problem. Seems like gw.sleep(some_number_of_mills); lets you loose the init of the dht. Just put dht.begin(); in your loop before you read the value and it should work.

example.
void loop ()
{
dht.begin();
float temperature = dht.readTemperature();
......

dht.begin();

Hey torfinn,

i get this error when compiling:
MotionSensor_DHT_light_battery_mod.ino: In function 'void loop()':
MotionSensor_DHT_light_battery_mod.ino:109:7: error: 'class DHT' has no member named 'begin'

I have a idea,

is it possible to build a second loop like this?
But now i have one problem... the loop2 never run...

[rvendrame]

@n3ro , you can have only one loop().

You need to merge the two logics into into a single loop. You might also want to remove the second sleep, otherwise PIR will not trigger there.

[n3ro]

@rvendrame do you have an idea how to do it?

[rvendrame]

Maybe you can start by to removing these 3 lines:

}
void loop2()
{

... and move the 1st sleep to the end of loop (where the 2nd sleep is):

// Sleep until interrupt comes in on motion sensor. Send update every two minute.
 gw.sleep(INTERRUPT, CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);

.... and remove the 2nd sleep:

gw.sleep(SLEEP_TIME);

the pir works fine. but the dht doesn't work.

when delay(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod()); is used the dht works and the pir fails.

[rvendrame]

It makes sense ;-) Try this:

create (outside the loop) a variable to count the time:

long mytime = 0; 

.. and replace the delay by :

 if ( milis() > mytime )  { 

   <  Put the dht stuff here > 

  mytime = millis() + dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod() ; 

}

Are you connecting both DHT and PIR at same pin 2 ? That must be the cause (DHT is triggering the interruption, I think you want only the PIR to trigger it).

Edit: looks like your PIR is at pin 3 , and DHT on pin 2 --- Should be the inverse? The PIR should be on pin 2 (to trigger the interrupt).

[Sweebee]

@rvendrame Pir sensor is defined as 3

interrupt pin is defined as INT1: 3 - 2 = 1

[rvendrame]

So PIR must connect on PIN 1 and not PIN 3.

Edit: Better, how did you connect DHT and PIR?

[n3ro]

@rvendrame The DHT is on pin 2 and the pir on pin 3. i use the MYS PCB.

i suspect the delay function disturb the sleep function. if i dont use the delay, the dht cant "heat up".

far as I know the interrupt is only an internal value. right?

[rvendrame]

Yes, it looks fine. What exactly error are you having? From your first serial monitor, it looks like your sensor woke on every 10min aprox, ( 6608 / 11148 / 15441 ).

i get this output after starting:

The DHT gives only output the first start and the pir interrupt works perfect.

When delay(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod()); is activated the DHT works and the pit interrupts the whole time :(
In this configuration the arduino never sleeps ..

EDIT: i have changed the sleeptime for testing to a shorter time

@rvendrame When the PIR is connected to PIN3 the interrupt is INT1. Pin 1 does not have an interrupt.

Only pin 2 and pin 3 have an interrupt.

Pin 2 = int0
pin 3 = int1

[rvendrame]

if you put the delay() inside that 'if ( mills() > mytime ) ' , what happens?

[n3ro]

@Sweebee is it possible to fix the problem when DHT is connected to pin 4?
