    • RE: Rain Guage

      @nostradamux I had one printed using @BulldogLowell design and thru 3Dhubs.com the build was good and I used abs also for material. My cost in USA was approx. $17 usd and took a day to print and receive, looks good.
      However I have not gotten far with project due to other issues unrealated just with I had more time and experience.

      But this group is most helpful for newbies!
      Good luck

      @BulldogLowell , have not heard of this will look up "google drive " on laptop when I get home ...... The learning continues.

      @BulldogLowell this has been quite a project to watch unfold and develop into just the greatest project. I am learning more just following you programing wizards, than I learn surfing . Thanks for the project and the inside tracks on programming etc.
      I have got my tripping gage back from my local 3d hub shop and the job looks good I hope to have it running hardware and soft before I return to and take it to Florida this fall.

    • RE: Motion controlled dimmable LED porch light

      thanks @pjblink , I get lots of errors just wondering before I do anything, was this sketch wrote for 1.5or 2.0?
      this is probably my issue as I still run 1.4.1
      but thought I would run it past you first.

      thx doug

    • RE: Solar Powered Mini-Weather Station

      @AffordableTech

      Looks like a feasible idea, as my stn does consume all the battery on bad days, and yes I needed the diode between the solar and controller to get to the right voltage

      cheers doug

    • RE: Iboard - Cheap Single board Ethernet Arduino with Radio

      @Dwalt I believe your reply caught my problem, in IP address bar I was missing the semi colons on the DEADBEEFFEED mac, It would appear that the issue has been resolved for now .

      Thanks a lot!

    • RE: Iboard - Cheap Single board Ethernet Arduino with Radio

      @gregl or anyone with info

      this is the second iboard gateway to be set up for me. The first went off without a hitch. It was and is still up and running flawlessly, how ever there is aproblem I have to day.

      I believe I have used the same program as is indicated in this thread and have done so by the h/w method.

      When using the arduino 1.6.5 IDE and set to Duemilove board 328 processer and proper USB port, when using the serial moniter the message "0,0,3,0,14 gateway started " is what is shown.

      However when Iboard is plugged into Ethernet port on modem, there is no interaction on the vera 3 dashboard (ui5) and for the life of me I can not figure out the issue.
      The power LED as well as LINK ,SPD, FDX are on steady with occasional blinks of the Rx led
      suggesting there is some communication between iboard and modem. As there is no check wires, all in the board seems well.

      Any ideas on the problemI? I have tried different rf24 and power supplies or have I forgot to do something with the vera. I had usb gateway but it has been deleted from vera3.
      Thanks doug.

      Edit When I go to the router and inspect for connected things the Iboard does show up under the proper reserved ip (10.0.0.20) with port 5003.

      This unit is in remote home and first unit is at residence, both with own vera but both use the same mac dead beef feed.

    • RE: SCT-013-030 current monitor sensor

      I have got this to work on my Cdn system 120/240 vac using A0 and A1 pins. The code needed to be changed to address our voltage and another clamp added., but I do have a few questions;

      1. Is there a way I can record or view amps consumed in the vera dashboard?

      2. I used the sketch above displayed by @chatainsim and in it there are two lines of code with values 29.0 and second 1480 both in green and in brackets. For the life of me I can not find an explanation of these or how the values were arrived at. Can anyone help with explanation?

          gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_POWER);
          emon1.current(A0, 29.0);       // Current: input pin, calibration.
          }
        
          void loop()
         {
         gw.process();
         unsigned long now = millis();
         double Irms = emon1.calcIrms(1480);
        
      3. Is there a method to show current in phase. I tried presenting CHILD_ID, S_MULTIMETER and MyMessage IrmsMsg(CHILD_ID,V_CURRENT); but got nowhere.

      4. There is/was much running up and down stairs from electrical panel to computer and back is OTA IDE what I think it might be-- firmware or sketches can be updated over the air from my computer>vera>gw>node while not needing to access the node? If so there is much learning for me to do.

      5. Using arduino 1.6.5, Lib 1.4.1, vera 3/veralite, ui5, Ethernet g/w , win 8.1, pro mini clone

      @mfalkvidd at least I now know why. Guess it is back to saving on IDE
