Slim Node Si7021 sensor example

[rsachoc]

Hmmm ok, that's what I thought...still no luck, I've modified the boards.txt with the text from the slim node thread, and now it still has the same error message.

To confirm, my FTDI adaptor is attached to the board pins as follows:

FTDI <-> board
GND <-> first pin (i.e bottom left of board when looking at board laying long side horizontal and NRF radio on the other side)
CTS <-> board marked GND
PWR <-> board marked VCC
TXO <-> next up i.e. 4th pin
RXI <-> next up i.e. 5th pin
DTR <-> next up i.e. last pin

Other than that, I guess it may be something wrong with the way I made the board? If so, what's the best way to troubleshoot? Could it be a bad bootloader flash? Is there a way to check if the ATMega has a bootloader?

edit in fact, it could be because I don't have the Si7021 connected? Could this be the reason a sketch is not uploading successfully? :worried:

@rsachoc Start simple. Try on a board without nRF and sensors. Remove everything in the sketch and make it to just print "Hello world" back to serial monitor.

Thanks, I haven't actually built a new node, but have been double checking everything on my current node. One thing I wanted to confirm, the 4.7uf capacitor, does the negative leg have to be on the corner of the board, as this is the way I have it currently? I think looking at the board layout in the main slim node thread, it should be the positive leg on the corner and the negative leg on the side of the board (the short side of the board)?

[m26872]

@rsachoc I don't have it in front of me rigth now... but, there should be an arc and a super-small "+"-sign next to the positive pad. Maybe it just look like a dot.

[rsachoc]

Ok so that may be the problem then! Let me solder it the right way and see if that helps otherwise I'm going to create a bare bones slim mode as suggested

edit to confirm the positive leg of the capacitor goes to the positive marked plus sign hole on the board?

[rsachoc]

OK so I changed the polarity of the 4.7uf capacitor and I'm still receiving the same error. So I built a barebones one without sensor and without NRF. I am still getting the same error when uploading the sketch via the FTDI adaptor. I tried uploading a sketch to a Sensebender I have and it worked fine, so that rules out the FTDI adaptor.

Some pics in case someone can spot something obvious.

So I can only think that it must be related to the ATMega bootloader? In the how to burn a bootloader thread, I received the following when trying to burn the bootloader, so I assumed it uploaded correctly?

[m26872]

@rsachoc Looks like you're missing the R1 resistor?

[rsachoc]

@m26872 well that is probably it! I didn't even realise I needed that, oops! Sorry :disappointed: ! Let me try and get one (I think I have some already) and get soldering

[rsachoc]

It lives! Well the one node I created does at least! I'll troubleshoot it, but the problem was the R1 resistor, which I (noobishly) forgot about! But very pleased, and thanks to m26872 especially and everyone else who helped.

I've updated the lessons learn post too!

[rsachoc]

I just received my non-3.3v Si7021, and have now updated the lessons learnt post, as this board is tiny and I managed to mess up the soldering completely. Ordered the 3.3 ready version now, another month wait...

@ar91 Please find the code I used in 3 different nodes. The good thing with the playground lib is that there is error message if dialog with DHT22 failed.

Hope it helps !

So the DHT22 works at 1MHz with 2 AAs and your code you´ve posted? No physical differnces?

[rsachoc]

So I think I've finally got everything up and running! This is what I'm getting at the serial monitor in the IDE:

What I'm trying to figure out is where the temp and humidity reading are so I can get them into MQTT/OpenHab. Looking at the output, I can't see which one is the temp, humidity or battery level?

[m26872]

@rsachoc Is that all you get? Please also set sleep_time to 15000 for debug, if you haven't already done it.

[rsachoc]

@m26872 thanks, I've set that, no change even after more than 15seconds and debug set.

Could it be the way I've connected the si7021? I've got it as follows:

1. A4 to SDA
2. A5 to SCL
3. GND to GND
4. VCC to 3.3v

[rsachoc]

Maybe I need to add that I'm running the 2.0 MQTT controller? Not sure if that makes a difference? GatewayW5100MQTTClient

Just had a look what's going on on the controller side, this is what I see

@rsachoc
My initial guess would be that you get stuck at this line:

 si7021_env data = humiditySensor.getHumidityAndTemperature();

Did you try your Si7021 on some plain arduino first? Just with some simple example code.

[rsachoc]

@m26872 thanks, yes, I guessed that something might be wrong with the sensor, I checked continuity between the board and the sensor and all seemed fine.

To test on an Arduino, I've honestly very little clue how to do this. Could I utilise the breadboard and Arduino I used to flash the AtMega?

[m26872]

@rsachoc The "very little clue" is a good reason to play around and learn some. :smiley:
You should not use a 5V Uno directly to sensor without voltage regulator and logic level converter. The Si7021 spec is 1.9-3.6V.
If you don't have a Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V, I suppose your best option is the SlimNode you already got. Try it at least at 8MHz (use suitable fuse settings, bootloader and baud rate), of course external crystal if you have.

[rollercontainer]

The most SI7021 coming from ebay are with voltage regulator and level shifter. I searched for a raw version and there are only very few... If you are not sure, post a link or a foto.

[m26872]

@rollercontainer Thanks! You're absolutely right. I feel rather stupid not thinking of this. :(

So @rsachoc, if you're have some GY-21 like boards still not yet modded like described in first post of this thread, then they should work excellent with your Uno.
