Serial Gateway Sketch with si7021



  • Hi All,
    I have biuld a Serial Gateway based on RFM69 and a ProMini. Its working great so far. But I want to implement in this Sketch also a Sensor si7021. I have currently no idea how i can implent the sensor part into the Gateway Sketch. Hope someone can help me there.

    Thanks

    Markus

    Just add the code of a node in presentation, setup and loop, nothing fancy



  • Well the Problem seems to be in the first step to get a working SI7021 Sketch for MySensors 2.2.0 Beta or 2.1.1.
    I did Try to complie this one now:

    But I get always follwoing error...

    exit status 1
    'si7021_env' has no member named 'humidityPercent'
    

    So I am a bit lost at the Moment due to my limited coding Knowledge.. 😞


  • Mod

    Why don't you start with a much simpler sketch? And that is for a node, it is missing all the defines for the gateway. Start with the gateway sketch and add only the code needed by the sensor. The error you get is probably a mismatch between the code and the library: check in the library examples how do you retrive humidity from the sensor



  • Did a mistake with the Libary. Used now the SI7021 from MySensorsArduinoExamples-master and this seems to be okay now



  • the Problem is I cnnaot find any simple Mysensors Sketch to read a SI7021 😞
    Only with battery Monitoring which I don't Need...

    Did you try it?



  • not yet 😉 Will try it later....



  • tried now the Sketch... Seems that something is wrong with the sensor.

    Also the issue with the attached sensor blocks completly the Gateway function.Means that the Gateway didn't receive anything. Is it possible to prevent such issue? what I mean, is it possible to seperate both functions in the Sketch in that way If something is wrong with the sensor, the Gateway can still operate?

  • Mod

    add some more serial prints around to see where the code stops



  • @gohan how can i do this ? 😞


  • Mod

    Look at the "DEBUG_PRINTLN" you have in your code, add some of those where you see there aren't.



  • the Code stops here

    si7021_env data = humiditySensor.getHumidityAndTemperature();
    

    Anything wrong with the sensor I guess. But how can I handle such things?


  • Mod

    did you try an example sketch from the library to see if you can read the values correctly?



  • the sensor conenction was the Problem at the end. Changed SCD and SCL and now it Looks good so far. At the Moment is the Gateway not connected to a Controller. Hope the sensor will be then also send the values...

    But how can I prevent the Situation that a defect or missing sensor on the Gateway blocks also the Gateway function ?

    Thanks

  • Mod

    You need to make a check in the code that if the sensor read is fails it should keep going



  • @gohan 😉 will try it.... -> Learning leasson... 🙂
