Hi all Happy new year! I thought from memory someone had printed up a case for the PIR on a 3D printer. Finally have myself a 3d printer and want to tidy up my setup and can't find anything through thread search. Anyone point me in the right direction?

I bought this kit https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0744CV3Y5/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 to connect to my alamode board then used cat 5 cable to mini 3 pin xlr plug and sockets to connect to my flow meters. I have seen others use a mini board in between also, which is useful to power multiple...

If you are in the US Daitron sell the swissflow for $58 each. I am in Canada and ordered off them but got stung at the border with duties and a surcharge from the courier to collect them.

Great thanks. I have been using a micro sd to sd adaptor in my macbook's sd slot, I will go buy a usb one and do this. Cheers!

Thought it was timely to provide an update. Finally managed to get back to this and try again. After all else failed I unplugged the PIR and plugged in another (my order included 3 of them) and everything worked perfectly. I guess these things are mass produced and this one was causing...

Have you added the following? sudo nano /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart add line sudo python pir_run.py Ctrl O, enter ctrl x and then sudo reboot and try again

Exactly, I know not exactly related to the forum but thought you guys might have some ideas.

Sorry I wasn’t more clear. My problem is the screensaver won’t turn on after a period of time. If I open the screensaver and select preview it goes on and motion in front of the PIR turns it off. The test script also works when run.

Ok I thought I was done but alas having issues getting the screensaver to activate. The script and PIR work and if I manually preview the screensaver they will deactivate it but it wont activate when left idle. Any ideas?

No issues as such but I am about to start a motion sensor installation. Is there a variation I should have to start the pir_run.py rather than through autostart? I assume so right?

Yup :D cheers!

This is awesome, damn I was closer than I realized as I copied flowmon from /var/www/html/python folder earlier but saw no change so undid it so didn’t include in my earlier post. I didn’t think to open the file and check paths, working finally, thanks everyone for your help! Now need to add my...

I am so close with my jessie installation but not quite there. I fixed my serial port greyed out issue using the following enable_uart=1 $ sudo systemctl stop [email protected] $ sudo systemctl disable [email protected] $ sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt delete...

Yes a typo sorry, and yes to using the jessie-setup after running the dos2unix on it.

Ok tried all these and no luck. In the flow_monitor.py file I also changed 'var/www/includes/pours.php' to include html in the path. I had this fully working and recording pours using wheezy but cannot get it to work on jessie with identical hardware and sketch already on alamode board. If I...

I thought so, so should be able to get Jessie going now even with my IDE issues a long as I don't add any taps I am good to go, but I could keep the Wheezy SD card in case. Quick question, will blowing gently through my SF800 be sufficient to trigger a pour? Also has anyone thought about...

Excellent, thanks for this. I have some parallel builds going on so will try this on one of them when I get a chance. I ended up downloading an old version of wheezy and managed to get things working and got my code across to the Alamode board. If I move this board to my other pi running Jessie...

Hi, You need to download the older version on Noobs v2_4_2, there is a link in the forum somewhere as php5 has been replaced with php7 on the version you have. Once you install that start again but use the alterations which are listed by Day_Tripper elsewhere in this forum. Go to page one...

Well if anything at least I am consistent. I formatted and started from scratch with my install, was methodical in my steps and checked all results for errors. I still have the same result with the menu greyed out in Arduino IDE except when I run as root. I will try again tomorrow with a newer...
