waiting for socket connection

[vk3jap]

This famous old issue is causing me grief now...

I have tried the release Felix suggested, and the Jessie image.. and now the latest (and updated) one from official rPi respository - RASPBIAN.

I m all out of luck and feeling very low here.. someone please help. :-)

[sparky]

I had the same issue when installing the latst version, 8.10, using the script.  I ended up installing by;

•Copy the contents of this directory in  /home/pi/gateway
•run  npm install  in the  /home/pi/gateway  directory to install all node dependencies
•Adjust any email/password/SMS settings in  settings.json5

and then it worked.  But then I was having some other strange issues which Felix couldn't figure out at that time.  I went back to 8.9

Good luck

[Felix]

AFAIK the latest raspbian release works with the scripts. There was a small change in the install script a few weeks ago related to php, make sure to get that change (download the latest head of the repository).

[vk3jap]

I'm trying everything... to get this working. Different versions of pi images. pi bakery. Jessie.. etc etc. I'm just getting no where.

This is such an awesome project but this part is letting it down :-( :-(

I have rPi3B

Could someone please take out their personal passwords etc and post up a full flash .IMG which works..? ie had the rPi OS and the Gateway software installed/configured. I'm running ttyS0 at 19200 but I know how to change that easily.

Pleeeeaaaase      (i'll happily pay some BitCoin to anyone for helping ou there, I had grand plans with Moteino)

[vk3jap]

I've tried that Felix...no good.

So that we are talking the same could you please post links.?

Pi image :
Should I run update/upgrade?
Gateway code :
Follow steps for gateway code from :

[LukaQ]

ttyS0 won't work with pi3, /dev/serial0 should be it

I see you have a lot of trouble... why don't you get older image that worked, like from 2y ago, and get it running... then run script. Before that you change serial port. Don't do more things at one, just one. Install Os, the lite one I think I have. change serial, check that you get something on serial. Install GW

[Felix]

I have a guide for the software here: https://lowpowerlab.com/guide/gateway/setup-software/
Once your Pi is setup and internet connected you can follow the steps at that link.
Get the lite-image from here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
(unless you have a specific reason to get the desktop version)
The gateway setup runs upgrade for you.

The example sketch on your Moteino at the gateway is here: https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/blob/master/Examples/PiGateway/PiGateway.ino

[Felix]

vk3jap,
I would like to help getting the setup script working.
Let me know if you still have trouble. Let's try to keep this in 1 thread.

[vk3jap]

Thanks Felix. I've done most (I think all) of those steps but perhaps not exactly in the order/combination you're suggesting so will follow your advice word for word and see how I go.

On the side of the sending nodes...what would you suggest for the simplest sending node setup such that it tests the whole thing end to end. Ie the rPi, the Moteino connected to that AND the Moteino which is sending. Re the sending side, I am using one which is a LED and LDR suggested from Tom's guide but it requires mods to your confirmation to be a supported device. What would be your simplest, already supported, sending device. Ie just a bare bones Mote with say a simple on off LED.. that DOESN'T need any extra config to be supported.

On the greater subject..  Given how much time I've spent on it..have you considered selling a complete 3 pack set which is tested. rPi(3B), RX Mote, Tx Mote with SD flash and SW(2 X .ino) ..all tested and working. I'd pay for this.! All the end user would need to do is change wireless details etc then add their other projects in. If they had any issues, could easily revert back to know working configuration.

[Felix]

I just tested the setup on a Pi3 (older Pi3) with the latest raspbian-sketch-lite (4-18-2018 release).
I followed these exact steps: https://lowpowerlab.com/guide/gateway/setup-software/
Everything works. Attached is the setup log output from the console.

Upon accessing the pi on the network, it prompts the credentials and then it shows the empty node list as expected. No problems. Next step is to configure the serial port. By default it is the GPIO serial at 19200 baud. This matches the settings in the PiGateway sketch.
Then you can use a remote moteino loaded with the RandomNumbers sketch that would simply send data which you can immediately see and look at nice graphs etc. This works guaranteed as long as you do your part and match the sketch settings with the radio hardware.

Thanks for the package suggestion - i have given it some on-off thought but it would require a lot of time on my part to setup and test everything for such a package. The cost would be very high, things could still not work at the user's end, and very few folks if anyone would buy this. I could maybe do this on a hourly basis for a specific setup. But too busy now.

[vk3jap]

Hey Felix..

ok, tried all those. Still no go. The issue now seems to be the serial port - ie which one do I use with this image.?  see output from DMSEG below.

- I am using the image here : https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite_latest
- using your gateway.ino and random numbers.ino
- no longer getting errors on waiting for socket etc - that seems resolved. issue now seems to be no data on serial.

what serial port should I use..? I installed minicom but and not seeing anything from the serial port.

Code headers below. I'm on 433Mhz with the highPower TX modules.

Here is the serial output from the Gateway Mote.. serial in the arduino IDE. That seems to indicate that the random numbers mote is working - it is node 98. that would prove all the .INO code to be correct.

The serial output from the Mote to the rPi has worked before.. as I was getting nodes come up (changing node ID's, the original issue) .. everythign is the same, wiring wise.

Think my issue at this point is which serial do I use..? what is AMA0 - what does AMA mean.?

I went for the serial connection between Mote and rPi because I though it was simpler, less drivers and points of failure.. should I order the USB mote..

Are you using the more via serial or USB..?
