Hi
I am building the Pro2 plus having  received the board yesterday, and have a question re the RX software for the Pro2 plus;

In the config file for the daylight saving, if there is no daylight saving, (as is the case in Queensland Australia), I assume "Timezone myTZ (aEDT, aEST);" is the correct thing to do , but what is the format for the TimeChangeRule sections.

I am hoping to go live next week with it
Regards
Jim

Hi Jim,
I don't know the answer and Werk is very busy at the moment.
But I did find this https://github.com/JChristensen/Timezone
maybe by using the examples in the code and what at the above link you may be able to get your head around it.

Anyway I think you could just run it up and see how the time looks. I think Cumulus won't mind if the clock is out though I'm not sure on that one, but yeah, maybe just run it up and take a look.

Cheers Bob

In the config file for the daylight saving, if there is no daylight saving, (as is the case in Queensland Australia), I assume "Timezone myTZ (aEDT, aEST);" is the correct thing to do , but what is the format for the TimeChangeRule sections.

Hi

The configuration on the TimeChangeRule is very simple for any place:
Taking the example given on the code:

Code:

// Example for Australia Eastern Time Zone (Sydney, Melbourne)
TimeChangeRule aEDT = {"AEDT", First, Sun, Oct, 2, 660};    //UTC + 11 hours
TimeChangeRule aEST = {"AEST", First, Sun, Apr, 3, 600};    //UTC + 10 hours
Timezone myTZ(aEDT, aEST);

This is for a zone which starts the summer time, on the first Sunday of April, and the zone is 10 hours ahead of UTC
also, this zone ends summer time on the first Sunday of October, starting to be 11 hours ahead of UTC.

Now, for the cases, as is yours, where the Summer Time does not apply, just configure the first line, defining the amount of time your zone is ahead or behind the UTC time, and then pass the same rule twice to the constructor, for example:

Code:

Timezone myTZ(aEDT, aEDT);

There is a readme file in the timezone library folder, where you can find more info.

On the Pro2 PLUS, no matter the place you are, the internal RTC is always set to run in UTC, so its very important to correctly set your time zone.

Werk,

I get the following error, vI assume regarding a missing library file???
I have attached my Config file for your perusal
Thanks

Hi Jim

Please download the latest Pro2 PLUS software release, that library was missing on initial release. There are info about this on the forum, please try to keep informed:

http://www.meteocercal.info/forum/Thread...04#pid5304

[werk_ag]

Jim,

Looking at your RX_Config.h file, I also have noted several incongruences or possible errors:

Code:

TimeChangeRule aEDT = {"AEST", First, Sun, Oct, 2, 600};   //UTC + 10 hours
Timezone myTZ(aEDT, aEST);

If you haven't defined aEST, using it on the Timezone constructor, will throw an error for sure!
For your case (no daylight saving zone), do this its enough:

Code:

TimeChangeRule aEDT = {"AEST", First, Sun, Oct, 2, 600};   //UTC + 10 hours
Timezone myTZ(aEDT, aEDT);

Code:

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   Define the type of your Barometric Pressure Sensor
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#define Barometric_Sensor  1   // 0= BME280, 1= BMP280 2= BMP085 / BMP180


// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   Define the type of your inside Temperature / Humidity Sensor
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#define InsideTH_Sensor  0   // 0= BME280, 1= HTU21D, 2= SHT21, 3= SHT31

If you are using a BME280, define it on both places.


Are you really using this sensor?

Code:

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   BIOS soil moisture sensor settings
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ---- Please use the included BIOS_ID_Scanner sketch to find you BIOS Device ID
#define BiosSensor_ID 0xE   // Device ID in HEX format, or 0 not used

If not change #define BiosSensor_ID  to 0 (zero)


Every time you upgrade or do a new install, always check and edit the user configurable options at each software, often default values are not suitable to everyone.

Please ignore my previous post as I missed the bit about the Timezone. I have since fixed it up and it compiles now but have a timeout error in the upload phase.
The message is

arvdude: stk500v2_RecieveMessage() :timeout
This line is repeated four times then
arvdude: stk500v2_getsync() : timeout communicating with programmer

Any ideas?


Thanks
Jim

[werk_ag]

Do you remember the Run / Program switch? Turn it OFF for programming, then turn it ON for normal operation.

[Barrow4491]

Werk,

Yes I had mislabeled the switch, all Ok now.
After the opening screen it rebooted as expected, 
but is now just sitting there with the two right hand digits "W" "R". Is it waiting for the temperature? and if so it has been about twenty minutes with both led's lit
Is there an issue?
Regards
Jim
