I can confirm that DHT library that is in example do not work with DHT11 and DHT22 in my case, using other (older) library i can see data.

petewill

@rechin304 Sorry, just to make sure I understand, are you saying it works with a DHT22 or not? I may still be on an old library too.

rechin304

@petewill
Works with DHT22 and other library (old one). I could not make it work withe one from example.

I'm almost ready with build, waiting for final pieces. hope to receive them this week.
one more ting i noticed is that clock is behind with 2minutes, so i need to check the code again.

rechin304

I have an working prototype, see video https://goo.gl/photos/VSQeaevHh7UbbStr9
Many thanks to @petewill for his work and inspiration.
I will post final pictures when ready.

Added new lead screw pitch of 2Mm that decrease open/close time from 3 minutes to 40 sec. see pics https://goo.gl/photos/mQvF1S9FrdNYPpdH9

for who is interested.

@rechin304 Awesome! Glad you got it working!!

@petewill Hi Pete
Just Start building the system and got an error at sketch verify.
"exit status 1
'class Adafruit_ST7735' has no member named 'setFont'"

petewill

@lis610 Sorry for the delay. Work has been very busy. I have attached the libraries I'm using. I was able to get it to compile when I just tested. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wauxHRf5pyqLnBGsfCP8UPJQR1wNdkoF/view?usp=sharing

Let me know if you have issues with this.

lis610

THANK YOU so much for sharing. Most of the errors gone, but one left (using Arduino v.1.8.5; MySensors v 2.3.0):
[C:\Users\BEAST\Documents\Arduino\Whole-House-Fan\code\New folder\WholeHouseFan2.0\WholeHouseFan2.0.ino: In function 'void presentation()':
WholeHouseFan2.0:197: error: 'TEMP_CHILD_NAME' was not declared in this scope present(TEMP_ID, S_TEMP, TEMP_CHILD_NAME);
exit status 1]
'TEMP_CHILD_NAME' was not declared in this scope

petewill

@lis610 Sorry about that. I just fixed the code on the build page. Hopefully that will get you up and running :)

lis610

Thank you. Did you upload the file for download?

petewill

@lis610 yes, I uploaded it to the page in the link at the top of this page.

lis610

Cannot locate file "WholeHouseFan2.0.ino"

petewill

@lis610 Strange. It disappeared. I added it again and just downloaded it so you should be good. Sorry for all the issues!

lis610

Thank you. The box is ready. Next step connect all hardware. So far no luck with the display (KMR-1.8 SPI). What kind of display model you used in this project.

petewill

@lis610 This is the display I used.

Got the same display. It is working with Adafruit graphicstest example. I did not connect any components just display. If I ran the FAN sketch should be something showing on the display?
Or need to connect everything?

petewill

@lis610 is #define TFT_DISPLAY_ON uncommented? Also, you will at least need the radio attached so the MySensors code can fully load (you can also setup defines to proceed without connecting to gateway but I don't remember them off the top of my head). I don't remember if there are any other dependencies since it as been so long since I built this.

lis610

Please help
Display is working with Adafruit graphicstest example pins:
#define TFT_CS 10 #define TFT_RST 9 #define TFT_DC 8# define TFT_SCLK 13 #define TFT_MOSI 11
I did try the same pins in FAN sketch -nothing on display
Tryed pin# from FAN sketch on Adafruit graphicstest- nothing on display.
Nothing come up
I did connect to the radio. Got something from MY_DUBUG not sure is it good or bad:

@lis610 It looks like it's having issues communicating with your gateway. Here is a link to the log parser. You can use this in the future to check out your logs.

Also, did you comment/uncomment the proper defines as noted above and in the code comments?

Try adding this line before #include <MySensors.h>

#define MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS 4000 //This will allow the sensor to function if it can't find the gateway when it first starts up
