"Waiting" continues. #4

leechan10 · 2019-05-19T03:56:07Z

I want to know why data is not displayed.

I'm using the HCSR04 sensor.

Like the second picture, data is received continuously.
but In the mirror, like first picture,
data is not displayed and "Waiting" is displayed.

Could you please help me..?

This is my Arduino code.

This is my config.js file.

I need help.. please help me..

I have the same problem. Trying running with example settings and still...waiting...and every 3 minutes shows the "Arduino connected successfully" prompt.

@leechan10 @misijan1cz

I am sorry to hear that is not working stable anymore. I didn't test very-well because I had running out-of-time to complete this RTOS assignment.

Maybe an-updated JS or Python library can cause this bug. I have put log things on to all possible else situations. Can you please share all the logs that you've received from terminal?

Sorry for the late answer. Any PRs are welcomed. :)

ArduPort config:

{
module: 'MMM-ArduPort',
position: 'bottom_left',
config: {
portname: "/dev/ttyUSB0",
useColors: false,
sensors: [
{
name: "T",
},
{
name: "Hum",
},
{
name: "CO2",
},
],
},
},

/* controlled by... */
{module: 'MMM-pages'},
{module: 'MMM-ModuleToggle'},

Arduino code (part of it):

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
mySerial.begin(BAUDRATE);
xsensor.begin(mySerial);
Serial.println("[status:setup:starting]");
unsigned status;
status = xxx();  
if (!status) {
    Serial.println("[status:setup:failed]");
}
Serial.println("[status:setup:started]");
delay(1000);
}

void loop() {
if (millis() - getDataTimer >= 2000)
{
Serial.println("[sensor:T:21]");
    Serial.println("[sensor:Hum:35]");

    Serial.println("[sensor:CO2:1200]");                             

    getDataTimer = millis();
}
}

I have restarted Arduino twice: after startup, the module shows sensors with "Waiting" (for values) and after both Arduino restarts the module has shown "Starting..". I'm running a fresh update now, but before that update, the module was showing just "Waiting..." (the one without sensors list), but I don't have a log for that already. Thank you very much for your time. :)

Dentrax · 2020-04-02T17:59:42Z

@misijan1cz

I couldn't see the these logs on your logs. Start function is not working somehow, i guess.

I'm afraid I don't have time to investigate why this is not working anymore. I'd appreciate if you fix the bug with a PR. :)

LilCritical · 2022-01-30T02:31:23Z

anyone found a fix for this ?
im facing the same issue , waiting...
but it does show the data in console.

Hey @LilCritical, can you please share your logs and Arduino code?

Hey @LilCritical, can you please share your logs and Arduino code?

Hello, @Dentrax thanks for the reply !
here is the arduino code :

}

void loop() {

VRT = analogRead(A0);              //Acquisition analog value of VRT

VRT = (5.00 / 1023.00) * VRT; //Conversion to voltage
VR = VCC - VRT;
RT = VRT / (VR / R); //Resistance of RT

ln = log(RT / RT0);
TX = (1 / ((ln / B) + (1 / T0))); //Temperature from thermistor

TX = TX - 273.15; //Conversion to Celsius

Serial.print(pcMQ2Prefix);

Also when you refresh the mirror page the arduino doesnt reconnect so it keeps saying waiting for connection. in order to make connection again you have to unplug usb from arduino and plug it in again , then console will recognise it again.

https://prnt.sc/26lwl73

Hope you can help me out , i love this feature you created and is exactly what i need for my mirror project :)
thanks in advance !

EDIT :
@Dentrax
I have done some investigation , arduport.py works perfectly fine.
The issue i think is in MMM-ArduPort.js line 142

    if (value != null) {

apparently value = null , but im not sure why it is not receiving the data ( not that skilled in node )

Dentrax · 2022-01-30T13:37:45Z

Thanks for investigation! It seems ArduPort.py working fine as you said. But I'm busy nowadays and haven't appropriate environment to test this. And not sure why value is null. If you find something that fixes this, feel free to send a PR!

i am not sure if il be able to fix it :( , what i figured is that value = undefined in function formatValue: function(value, sensor) {
any idea what may cause this ?

@Dentrax a fix to this was mentioned here

hi, i just try to modify MMM-ArduPort.js file it with add defaultFormat at sensors properties

and using this method like this comment
with code below

instead using val.innerHTML = sensor.maxFormat.format(value); or similar like that.

so at config.js i just add like this

result view is picture below
