Help with UVM30A

All working now thanks: I have a diary note to change these settings in future Rx software upgrades. Now I am going to design a new housing for my UVM30A sensor.
Regards
Jim


Taking note of any personal changes on the software is a good pratice. However, regarding this matter, possibly any new software release will keep those values by default. They may not be the best for everyone, but are a good starting point.

Werk,
I have completed my new housing for the VM30A but cannot get any reading from it. Replaced the sensor, checked the wiring etc but to no avail.
I have attached my Tx and Rx config files in case i have missed something;


Code:
WeatherDuino Pro2 PLUS RF Receiver - Version: 4.1 b008

The cover material for the sensor is a piece of 1mm JGS1 glass and i have set the transmission percentage at 95% as a starting point.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi Jim,

Everything seems fine with the config files.

If your Solar/UV interface its an older v3.10 or v3.20 board, you need to swap the Vcc and Sig connections at the UVM30A connector on the board (Those boards had an error on the connector labels, everybody was warned about that before ordering the boards).

After checking the UVM30A connection you can enable the Debug options on the TX software, that will help you to see if the TX unit is reading anything fromthe sensor

Code:
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   Debug
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#define Debug_Enable      true
#define DebugID0          false
#define DebugID2          false
#define DebugID3          false
#define DebugID4          true
#define DebugID5          false
#define Easyweather_Test  false
#define Debug_SLinterface false

On the Serial monitor you should have some values on "ADC1 - avg UV   : "

Since you are working on it, its a great time to upgrade all your units to v5.0 software.

Everything seems fine with the config files.

If your Solar/UV interface its an older v3.10 or v3.20 board, you need to swap the Vcc and Sig connections at the UVM30A connector on the board (Those boards had an error on the connector labels, everybody was warned about that before ordering the boards).

After checking the UVM30A connection you can enable the Debug options on the TX software, that will help you to see if the TX unit is reading anything fromthe sensor

Code:
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   Debug
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#define Debug_Enable      true
#define DebugID0          false
#define DebugID2          false
#define DebugID3          false
#define DebugID4          true
#define DebugID5          false
#define Easyweather_Test  false
#define Debug_SLinterface false

On the Serial monitor you should have some values on "ADC1 - avg UV   : "

Since you are working on it, its a great time to upgrade all your units to v5.0 software.

Werk,

I had forgotten the swapped connections on the board and I will check it out when next on the roof.
i will load my spare Tx with v5 and change it after I have solved the UV issue
Thanks

Werk,
My board is v3.21 and the connections are marked correctly. (I will suspend the upgrade to v5 software until I resolve the UV issue)
As it is difficult to access the roof with my laptop I set up my spare Tx board and connected a UVM-30a only direct to the board and the following code was received on my front balcony in the early morning (0800 with an overcast sky)
Code:
DataPacket ID4: 161,4,1023,208,0,0
ACD0 - SolarRad :1023   SolarRad :1400
ADC1 - avg UV   : 208  Indice UV : 0.0

Sending...
DataPacket ID4: 161,4,1023,189,0,0
ACD0 - SolarRad :1023   SolarRad :1400
ADC1 - avg UV   : 189  Indice UV : 0.0

Sending...
DataPacket ID4: 161,4,1020,185,0,0
ACD0 - SolarRad :1020   SolarRad :1395
ADC1 - avg UV   : 185  Indice UV : 0.0

Sending...
DataPacket ID4: 161,4,990,175,0,0
ACD0 - SolarRad :990   SolarRad :1354
ADC1 - avg UV   : 175  Indice UV : 0.0
I don't understand the readings but you no doubt will be able to analyse them
Regards
Jim

Hi Jim,

From what I see, I can say that you are getting readings from the UVM-30. The values correspond to the meteo conditions described.
Don't worry about seeing the Indice UV = 0, it isn't calculated on the Debug.

Indeed, the labels on Solar / UV 3.21 are correct.

Don'k know what has happened but I ran the serial monitor on the Tx and all looked good and reloaded the final v4 software and suddenly the UV reading is on the Rx ???
Hate it when that happens
Regards
Jim
Will now attempt the V5 upgrade
