@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.

[rechin304]

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.

[lis610]

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
