wireless problem no relay data being sent to portal

Post by ldangelo »

somehow my wireless stopped transmitting data to the portal somewhere around 11/23
I went into the board using tera term and found out it had lost all of its settings.
I was able to reconfigure it and got connectivity back to the internal web server and the reef angle client.
It appears the client is sending temperature and PH data to the portal. Also the protal is able to connect and gives me real time data when I'm connected. However, there is no relay activity data available.

I did some research and found the settings I need to enter from some previous posts.
I was able to change the following to this:
Host 198.171.134.6:80
Name=www.reefangel.com
I figured from what I read this was the problem. It's been a couple of hours now and still no relay data.

Also a major issue is when I enter cmd mode on the wireless adapter it keeps exiting command mode in a few seconds.
I did what the manual said "set s o 0 and it comes back aok but after a about a minute it starts doing it again.
tried a factory reset same thing.
This didn't happen when I first set the wireless up. I'm thinking maybe the board is going south? Is this the reason I lost my settings in the first place. The board isn't even a year old.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Lou

Looks like you are using old client, right?
Try the new 3.0 version.

I updated to the new client
Works great except it is unable to retrieve my controller memory settings
The new feature memory utility works great
My library version is 1.0.2
I don't see how the client can be linked to not getting the relay activity data up to the portal or how it can be linked to the other issue with the wireless adapter message every couple of seconds and kicking me out of cmd mode even though I did the set s o 0 and got back an aok
This happening makes it impossible for me to program something like an IP address in because by the time I can type it I get kicked out of cmd mode

Same thing is happening to me.. I can control everything via iphone and the the temp and ph are correct on the portal as well. But I don't have anything on Relay activity.. I even turned off the security key feature..

Not sure what the set s o 0 you are talking about.
set s o 0 according to the manual does this:
set sys output <value> <mask> sets output GPIO pins to HIGH or LOW. This is a bit-mapped value. Optional mask only sets a subset of pins.
For example, to toggle GPIO8 the commands are:
set sys mask 0x21f0 //set GPIO8 as output
set sys output 0x0100 0x0100 //drives GPIO8 HIGH
set sys output 0x0000 0x0100 //drives GPIO8 LOW
Are you connecting over tcp or through serial?
Make sure you connect through serial. You cannot connect over tcp or you will get disconnected after 3 seconds of idle.
Attached is the macro I use to configure the modules with tera term.
Feel free to use it.

Thanks Roberto,
Macro didn't quite run right got hung up after the FTP update. However I was able to finish it manually. Relay data on the portal has been restored.
I just wanted you to know I was able to get things working.
I can't thank you enough for the timely support. You've got a great product line and the support is excellent.
Regards,
Lou
