This looks like that the sensor is not connected right or is faulty.
It pulls the data line of the i2c bus low

rsmedia · December 29, 2019, 5:38pm

i have just uploaded a new firmware for the capsule and EU868 band.
you dont have to download a new configurator, just flash the capsule again.

BDM · December 29, 2019, 6:13pm

@rsmedia

Thanks for your update. I have a feature request. In the flash firmware page, you can have a checkbox saying “Preserve existing configuration”. if this checkbox is selected you can restore DevEui, AppEui , AppKey Duty cycle and TX confirmed after flashing. This will make the configurator much easier to use And thanks from the heart for bringing up this easy to use application.

Just tried with three different sensors on the capsule with EU 868 Band. Below is the result.
while using the sensor HDC1080

@BDM

your HDC1080 sensor seems to be brooken.
your CCS8018 could not be found because it is not known
the only CCS sensor known is CCS811

BDM · December 30, 2019, 2:39am

@rsmedia Thanks for your feedback.

Used Configurator with development board and bme280 sensor. works fine.

rsmedia · January 1, 2020, 7:36pm

@BDM
i have a new configurator online and updated the readme.
now you can preserve the configuration when flashing new firmware.

that makes testing much better.

There will be a new firmware at the end of the week which will handle the hang on IIC scan

rsmedia · January 1, 2020, 8:28pm

with uploading the new firmwares you need to download the new configurator.
all versions prior to 3.4 will not work anymore for flashing.

rsmedia · January 2, 2020, 10:17am

uploaded a new configurator.
you can now check the online version of the firmware and download all firmwares.

i had problems in areas without cellular network to flash a new firmware, but now i can download all firmware at home and flash in the field without cellular coverage.

BDM · January 2, 2020, 11:44am

Thanks, really appreciated. Will try out soon…

BDM · January 2, 2020, 3:23pm

@rsmedia Tried the new version of configurator

I have flashed with the new firmware. After successfull flashing, coming to config tab and tried to write…Its getting stuck over there … below is the screen shot

rsmedia · January 2, 2020, 3:40pm

Let the cubecell plugged in and hit the reset button of the cubecell.
What does the debug field say?

BDM · January 2, 2020, 3:43pm

@rsmedia

Output from the debug when reset button is hit.

rsmedia · January 2, 2020, 3:58pm

will have a look this evening.
i have flashed and programmed 1 capsule and 2 boards with the 3.5 version.

i am just heading home, so now time right now.

BDM · January 3, 2020, 10:31am

@rsmedia

Just checked the version 3.7. Looks promising… Most of the bugs has been fixed. Great work.

Sensor CCS811 (cubecell, 868) is detecting correctly ( In the previous versions it was not). still the sensor in the warming up… will keep you posted.

rsmedia · January 3, 2020, 11:21am

there was a little problem with the original CCS811 and BH1750 sensor.
both uses GPIO0, but the CCS811 needs it LOW for activating the CCS811 and the BH1750 needs it HIGH (LOW on BH1750 will keep the BH1750 in reset state)

Will try to get both working but right now i have GPIO0 LOW to get the CCS811 working .

BDM · January 3, 2020, 12:45pm

Great !!

Just a question. what is the best practise to set alert while using the various sensors. For example while using ccs811 or bme280 need to send to send a alert when the temperature is above 25 or humidity has reached a specific value. Can we do it with the configurator ? or do we need to modify the sketch file

rsmedia · January 3, 2020, 4:27pm

The firmware flashed with the configurator just sends the sensor values.
You can make an alarm on the receiver site or you have to compile your own firmware.
The source of my firmware is in the official repository with the name “LoRaWan_MultiSensor”

BDM · January 4, 2020, 7:26am

@rsmedia ok thanks to pointing to that. While compiling the ino file in the ardunio am getting below error.

LoRaWan_MultiSensor:175:1: error: ‘SFEVL53L1X’ does not name a type

SFEVL53L1X LRSVL53L1X;

^

   if (!LRSVL53L1X.begin() == 0) { //Begin returns 0 on a good init

        ^

LoRaWan_MultiSensor:831:7: error: ‘LRSVL53L1X’ was not declared in this scope

   LRSVL53L1X.setDistanceModeShort();

   ^

Could you tell me which library are you using for the sensor VL53L1X?
Also were you able to fix the error of scanning oneWire devices in the version 2.4

Thanks

rsmedia · January 4, 2020, 8:42am

For the vl53l1x i use the bundled library.
