Hey Felix,
I have given it a proper go with testing the GarageMote base through the Ftdi chip using Arduino terminal. I was able to move the magnets back and forth to register as well as entering "r" for the relay test and I can hear the sweet click of it working
(Using this page
http://lowpowerlab.com/garagemote/#programming)
However when I unplug the GarageMote base from the computer and plug it in to the wall with the 5v power adapter, I get the same time_out with trying to query its status through the webpage. I'm not really sure on what would cause this disconnect.
- I have double checked to make sure I have the most current index.php off of Github which I do.
- I have triple checked to make sure I have the following:
*node -v (0.10.28)
*npm -v (1.4.9)
I might do a clean install and start from scratch with the raspberry pi portion ... it can't hurt me much since I've been at this for a couple months now haha.
Just like you mentioned before, I have a feeling it is probably the smallest detail I'm missing but just wanted to share my struggles with hopes this helps someone in the future going through what I am.
Thanks again Felix and ssmall for all the help the both of you have provided to me along my journey. When I am able to finally get this working I shall buy you guys a beer or whatever beverage you guys prefer.
Cheers,
