New OpenPlotter GPIO app available

[ALULAsails]

Thanks Sailoog, you are indeed the best! Sorry for my late reply here. Updates on this thread stopped showing up in y email, so didn't realize the recent back and forth.

I changed line 375 from type_name to type.name and it works, that is the GPIO app opens. I can see the 3 temp sensors and I have edited the Signal K key successfully.

However, as per @Jamos, I can't see the sentences or the data in Signal K. I took a few screenshots for info

and interesting at reboot at Check System, the "pigpiod not running" is still appearing. I have no idea what that means.

I tried to see if I could load the sentences via the Kip dashboard and they also do not show up there.

Thanks

[Sailoog]

you need pigpiod only for setalk 1, pulses and digital, not for 1W. On next relese pigpiod will be always enabled.

not sure how to debug this, sk data is created by openplotter-gpio-read service so lets try this:

Code:

sudo systemctl stop openplotter-gpio-read
openplotter-gpio-read

paste here any error you get after running openplotter-gpio-read manually.

to back to normal press Ctrl+C to stop openplotter-gpio-read and type:

Code:

sudo systemctl start openplotter-gpio-read

If we do not find the issue easily we should wait for the next release because I have added more debug options

Thanks Sailoog,

I tried your commands and it did not show any errors. It was blank until I pressed Control-C at which point this appeared:

Code:

^CTraceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/openplotter-gpio-read", line 11, in <module>
   load_entry_point('openplotterGpio==2.1.0', 'console_scripts', 'openplotter-gpio-read')()
 File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openplotterGpio/openplotterGpioRead.py", line 94, in main
   time.sleep(5)
KeyboardInterrupt

We will wait for the next release! All the best,

[Sailoog]

OK thanks for testing, give me some days to publish the new alpha version, I will notify you here.

[Sailoog]

I got it  

It seems that there is another major change in w1thermsensor 2.0.0 module. This is not good because it is not possible to make the code work with both old and new versions so I have forced updating to 2.0.0 on next openplotter-gpio app version to avoid these issues you have found.

quick fix:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openplotterGpio/openplotterGpioRead.py

Line 22

Replace:

Code:

try: from w1thermsensor import W1ThermSensor

by:

Code:

try: from w1thermsensor import W1ThermSensor, Unit

Line 49

replace:

Code:

value = str(offset+sensor.get_temperature(W1ThermSensor.KELVIN))

by

Code:

value = str(offset+sensor.get_temperature(Unit.KELVIN))

reboot or type:

Code:

sudo systemctl restart openplotter-gpio-read

and it should work

It is working! Thank you Sailoog!
I can now see the sentences in SignaK and they flow all the way through to KIP.
Thanks again for all of your help!

[Sailoog]

thanks to both of you for reporting!

Hello, I got same issue since last update.
I cannot understand how you change the permissions (Edit this file with sudo permissions
