Hi everyone. I'm working my way through my set up and am having issues with the section 1-9. Multiple wifi networks.
Still looking for some help. Can't get my rig to connect to the pump. Battery is good on the pump.
Hi. Sorry for the interruption. I am getting this error at step 1-10.Last login: Fri Feb 3 19:24:52 on ttys000

@leighkdavis have you tried http://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/walkthrough/phase-2/accessing-your-rig.html ?
OpenAPS stopped running about 50 minutes ago. Rig is close by. I’ve tailed it to see if it is running and it doesn’t look like it is setting temp basals. When I set up Bluetooth, it seemed like it was running the installation all over again. When it asked me to name it, I’m pretty sure I used the same name. Could this be the problem?
possibly - check cron to make sure it didn’t create any duplicates that’s confusing it
do
crontab -l
and if there are duplicates of anything, you can delete the duplicates if you can easily tell which are the right ones. if you can’t tell, you can just delete everything in the file and run setup again to re-populate it.
@danamlewis ok. so, to delete everything… just literally delete on the screen and do the setup again?
yup
(assuming you are talking about the cron screen. you’ll do that by crontab -e to get into editing mode there)
i did cron -l and that is what I’m looking at...
ok, so the cron -e will allow me to delete
crontab -r also removes your entire cron file
either way
:+1: great. then
crontab -e if you want to delete it, or crontab -r to remove
Will I have to setup Bluetooth, wireless and everything else all over again?
wifi is unaffected by cron, but you'll need to include the --btmac= option when you re-run oref0-setup if you want it to connect to Bluetooth when wifi is unavailable
ok. will do. :frowning:
Wait, @scottleibrand so will it walk me through the Bluetooth all over again>
?
that lets you put in all the stuff you ran before in a single command (and then add something like --btmac= if you want) so you don't have to repeat the entire interview
I think the Bluetooth docs could use some PR'ing on that front
Yes. that was the plan. and now it is suddenly running again. @scottleibrand Guess I’m going to watch it a bit longer before I rerun the script. Don’t know why it cut out. He hasn’t been moving...
pump-loop.log should tell you
Trying to setup wifi network and get the following when I run ifup wlan0: /etc/network/interfaces:11: misplaced option
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
ideas?
what did you do to your interfaces file? :-p
Clearly something fun
cat it?
I don't know what that means
cat /etc/interfaces
I am a smart person and this is making me feel very frustrated and not smart
cat /etc/network/interfaces
Could not find this info here, so I contacted Intel product support who gave this information about wifi power consumption:
“Tests were ran with Breakout Board and 12V input:
LPON: ~32 mA Wi-Fi Off, ~38 mA Wi-Fi On, and ~60 mA while Pinging an IP.
SPON: ~29 mA Wi-Fi Off, ~36 mA Wi-Fi On, and ~52 mA while Pinging an IP.”
@danimaniac So the low-power option (LPON) actually consumes more power in all situations than the normal SPON?
@ELUTE “cat” is short for concatenate - but it means display the contents of the file. so if you see
cat /etc/network/interfaces, you can copy/paste that on the command line to run, and it should output what’s in the file for you
@scottleibrand I interpreted -32 as less than -29 ???
@danimaniac ~32 not -32
@tim2000s Oh! That's what 35 years of T1D can do...Retinopathy and a small screen! Oops.
@danamlewis no such file
sorry nvm
One Lipo baytery 2000 mAh kept our Explorer rig working for about 12 hrs today. A bit short for what we wish for. There are 2500 mAh batteries available also but was wondering if we could use two in paralel. That would give us 4000 mAh with still a managable size I think. Anybody has tried this or is having a similar issue? Any advise?
putting multiple lipos in parallel has to be done very carefully, to make sure they're identical (and start in an identical charge state) so you don't overcharge one of them. I would do some reading on how to do that safely before considering it: I'm not sure what all the considerations are.
alternately, you could start working on ways to cut down on the amount of CPU time required by the loop. there are quite a few optimizations possible there...
@scottleibrand Since it's come up multiple times today, I'm going to take a stab at editing oref0 setup to include btmac in oref0-runagain. Want it to go to dev, or master since it's such a small change?
Dev please. We may do a patch release to master soon with that and a few other small things.
k
nice :) @dramageek
I'm no programmer by day, so much of the scripting falls over my head. But I'll try to help where I can!
hey, that’s my line! :) :D thanks for chipping in, too!
@ELUTE did you get unstuck?
Yeah I think I will have to revisit tomorrow since I don't think wifi settings are correct
@scottleibrand thanks for your input on lipo batteries. I'll definitely look into it carefully.
Nice pr to the docs, @Kdisimone :+1:
@ELUTE k. Just holler if needed!
@ELUTE there is a complete interfaces file in the docs if you need to replace what you have.
For anyone who missed it, we added http://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/walkthrough/phase-2/accessing-your-rig.html re accessing the rig based on different network setups, and http://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/walkthrough/phase-2/on-the-go-wifi-adding.html for if you need to add wifi when you're out and about
Sorry for long delay. I uninstalled homebrew and reinstalled.
I got to Katie's installing 1-6 where you reboot and wait. On second try it froze up. Now after restarting and unplugging everything at least 8 times my MacBook doesn't see my Edison ?
Is there a way to start over from scratch ? I'm stumped
Now my MacBook doesn't see my explorer anymore 😞
Could I possibly have a bad explorer board or explorer??
@kws1969 try swapping cords
Also, what do you see on console (running
screen)? You might have to unplug and plug back into the UART port, then launch screen in a new Terminal window, and then reboot the Edison. (Hold down the black button for 10 seconds to turn it off, then 2 seconds to turn back on.)
And once you get it working, please note what helped so you can PR that into the docs for the next person.
@scottleibrand the nightscout openaps pill status of "unknown" has come back to haunt us. looping is happening. Is there something I can read to help me troubleshoot the openaps communication with nightscout?
most people find that is due to something wrong with their devicestatus collection, but I haven't been able to figure out what it is, or what causes it. unfortunately the openaps to nightscout stuff is only really documented in the code itself, so you'd have to really dig in to explore that way. it might be more productive to do some queries against your https://yournightscouthost/api/v1/devicestatus.json API and see if you can figure out what the weird record is...
@scottleibrand ok. pretty frustrating. I thought had the solution by going away from azure. not so much.
were you able to fix it last time by deleting your devicestatus collection?
morning! not sure if anyone is up? Is there a way to delete an edison and start from scratch? Katie and I worked on my set up last night for a few hours and there seems to be an issue with my install that we can't get past (during the step 1-9 and 1-10 phase). I think that I would like to just start from scratch and redo all of the steps. Hoping someone might ave some advice about how to erase so I can start all over again.
You can just start again and overwrite what you've done.
@tghoward , great. Just start back at phase 1-1? We did an uninstall of homebrew and a reinstall and then ran into some more issues down the line. I will try to go back and do it again. thanks
I'll check what that is ...
@leighkdavis oh, so you mean in setting up Nighscout? You are in the Visualization and Monitoring part?
@tghoward , no, I am in the setting up the edison/explorer board part.
the explorer board mac instruction sheet
Good, I thought so. Phase 1 in the normal read the docs was nightscout
I am trying to reflash and it is not letting me reboot. I am not sure what happened last night. I had port problems and then wifi network set up problems. I was hoping to just erase it all and start fresh
Got it. No, you don't need to erase the Edison, you can just flash right over it. The key is getting those two USB connections to the explorer board so you can see what's going on in one and flash on the other
Can you be more specific for 'not letting me reboot' ?
I reset the SMC and am able to see the edison in my finder window so I think that the computer is recognizing that it is there. I did the uninstall of homebrew and reinstalled. That worked fine. Then when I go to 1-4 I am starting to get an error message. I am not sure how to do a screen shot and show you the message.
"cannot open line......." "sorry, cannot find a PTY"
those are the two errors. when I do the sudo screen /dev/tty.usbserial-* 115200
Hi @leighkdavis I had/have the same problem. The only way I can get into my Edison is by typing "ssh root@" and I have to add my Edison's IP address at the end.
I get the SAME "cannot find a PTY" if I try any other way.
ok. great. @hilarykoch let me try to see if i can get in there that way.
@hilarykoch that's when you have a USB cable connected directly from your edison to your computer?
@tghoward I did.
Ok, good. Thanks for chiming in!
That's not working either. I am not sure what is wrong with this thing.
These instructions suggest you might need your USB serial number
Open a terminal window and type sudo screen /dev/tty.usbserial-* 115200 If necessary, replace the ‘*‘ with your Edison UART serial number, obtained using lsusb.
in addition to the other stuff you've got in your screen command.
so if that's the case, type lsusb in that same terminal window
@leighkdavis I also had to try powering down the Explorer Board and then powering back up. Have you tried that?
I did. Katie and I tried that a couple of times last night.
@tghoward Can you tell me how long it takes to fully charge the Loop? I have a 2000mah
I just wish that there was a way to start fresh and wipe this little sucker out.
Some good instructions on that problem, here @leighkdavis
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/637974#manual-flash-process
@hilarykoch we usually just leave it plugged in overnight so I guess I don't have an exact number for you. Also probably depends on the amps your charger is sending. But ... a few hours?
@tghoward , thanks, will read that now
@leighkdavis Ok, just going to run through my list, I had to disconnect everything, powers down, power up, also restarted the computer and then had to still use the IP address.
@tghoward Ok, is there a way to know when it is fully charged? I think I unplugged it too soon in the middle of the night - I was worried about overcharging.
@hilarykoch yes, there's a way to check the battery. I thought that was part of the install now? I'll find it.
@hilarykoch do you have this folder?
src/EdisonVoltage
if so, this command should give you current voltage percentage
/root/src/EdisonVoltage/voltage percentage but if plugged in it may be full but show a lower voltage.
@tghoward That's helpful! Thank you. But while it's charging, is there a way to know based on the lights? And no reason to worry about it overcharging?
No, don't need to worry about overcharging. Also, nope, the red LED just stays on when plugged in so there is no light indicator to tell you if it is full or not.
@tghoward :+1:
anyone have any recommendations in terms of which edison/explorer case to get?
@andyhandy Quite a bit of variation out there, from folks using tic-tac cases to home made to these:
https://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/dev/docs/walkthrough/phase-0/hardware/edison.html#cases
thanks @tghoward - yes i'm particularly interested in which 3D-printed cases people have had good experiences with
When entering in network info... do you change the address here?
@leighkdavis disconnect the cables and then try the udo screen /dev/tty.usbserial-* 115200 again
@andyhandy mine's in Rob Kresha's case. Works nicely.
@hilarykoch I have upbatt in my NS so when I unplug I can see % charge of rig. While it's charging though, it stays on 67% displayed. Must be some quirk. Full charge is around 4.1V.
@Kdisimone The battery display works off voltage. When you're charging, it always pulls roughly 3.7v hence why the display shows that.
@tim2000s oh yes...that makes perfect sense now. Dooh
@tim2000s @Kdisimone but when loading my big Eddie, 2000mAh lipo, external 1 A Adafruit loader it's going to be quickly show 4100mV and 100%, when using the explorer board we only have 250 mA charging current
Good morning, I'm headed to frys electronics to buy another Edison and new cables. Last time I bought my Edison at frys there was 4 to 5 different ones. Will all the Edison's work for this ???
This one I have that I can't get to work I will gladly donate to someone if they want to try and fix it. My computer won't see it after flashing 😟.
Also is one computer easier to use for flashing vrs another? I have a MacBook and also have windows computer ??
I've flashed successfully from both Mac and Linux. I've never got it to work all that well from Windows @kws1969
Ok I'll stick with Mac as I love Katie's cheat sheet. 👍
Is there anyway to confirm that the edison has been flashed?
Are these two still the way to update my version? ' sudo pip install -U git+git://github.com/openaps/openaps.git@dev' and 'sudo npm install -g git://github.com/openaps/oref0.git#dev'
@flutelynne_twitter those will get much of it, but you also need to re-run oref0-setup to get any new features.
@jburke41 - it depends where you are starting from. If you had a fresh Edison, it says ubilinux when you've successfully flashed it.
@hilarykoch @tghoward actually the red LED in the corner will go out when charging is complete. It will go back on if it needs to top the battery off again. With some older batteries the light is basically always on. Charge time will be 8 hours for the new Explorer boards being manufactured now, but the ones already ship could be as low as 4 hours from dead to full. Probably usually more like 6 though.
@tim2000s I belive I have successfully flashed, but keep getting permission denied https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/16523999_694910744050838_529910012_o.jpg?oh=8132dec73c925209b6e267a6d36cddcc&oe=5897EB17
Why are you logging in as edison?
should i be logged in as root?
Is this an Explorer board rig?
yes
Then yes, please follow the directions, and PR them if they're unclear.
That aside, the reason your sudo doesn't work is because output redirection isn't run inside the sudo command. There are ways to launch a subshell under sudo and do it that way, but you really want to just log in as root for the Explorer.
Thanks SO much! Now logged in as root!
:+1:
How long does this scrren typically last? Am I supposed to do anything on this screen? https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/16523544_694924897382756_180459498_o.jpg?oh=f8c3294c15075cec36e54ff9a9e65291&oe=58990233
@scottleibrand Thanks. I did load set-up script several months back, but I will erase an SD card I have and try from scratch, first.
so interesting, I've been looking at ways to get the enlite cgm to upload a bit faster to nightscout. So if the cgm updates on the pump when the APS is trying to read the cgm data from the pump, it always errors out. So what I'm currently testing to to get the cgm data more than once during the pump-loop and then upload more than once during the ns-loop. Does seem to have improved the time a bit, while making the pump-loop a tiny bit slower, but it's not like the pump-loop is going to do anything with older data it already acted upon anyways, but the fact it errors during the get-bg is interesting.
@jburke41 why does your screen show raspberry pi and yet you said you were using an explorer board?
Using the raspberry pi to program the exlporer board
confusing to me too :smile:
was i supposed to disconnect the edison after i flashed it using the raspberry pi?
Shouldn't matter
@jburke41 are you able to login via the seriell console?
did you set up WiFi in
etc/networks/interfacesas descriped in rtd?
Per your earlier question, not sure for the particular screen, but people seem to always jump the gun when flashing and kill things while they're still in progress of normal flashing timeline
@danamlewis Hi Dana :wink:
@ceben80 yes I set up wifi
perfect give it a trial via ssh connection
and once connected via ssh go ahead with the next steps
:)
Does anyone know of an Android app that will tell me the IP address of my rig when it's connected via Bluetooth?
@geoffro10 I use iNet on iPhone, but there’s similar for androids
@geoffro10 Fing is what I've used. I don't know whether it works with bt
@tim2000s Fring or fing? If you mean fing, it won't tell me the Bluetooth address.
For BT I think you need to connect from another device and scan from there
Fing doesn't work with bt
My experiences last time with the bt stuff
i used last time a tool named "network utilities" on android
like this, right?
maybe, was a long time ago
I just tried Network Utilities and it does the same as fing. Will show me my wifi info but not the IP that my phone assigned to the rig through Bluetooth.
In fing you can specify an external network.
Right, but if I don't know where to start, I can't scan.
If you know the ip range your BT uses, you can use that.
Usually 192.168.x.x
Let me check that.
So you can start at 192.168.0.0
one below the wifi sharing
192.168.44.xxx
oh one above for bt
192.168.43.xx for wifi
thanks @SandraK82
Fing won't find it. I have the IP and when I scan externally, it doesn't find it. ☹️
I just installed an app called Ping Sweep that allowed me to scan the 192.168.44.x range and it found it. I should be able to use this in the future.
@geoffro10 great :clap:
Looks great, just installed Ping Sweep :star2:
My openaps (or raspberry pi) works for about an hour, then stops. When I do a tail, it says there is an "ack error," (ack is 0 bytes). It starts working again if I restart it, but that really defeats the purpose of Openaps overnight... any suggestions?
Question, when following Katies instructions to flash edison on step 1-2 i get this warning
gnu-getopt is a keg-only and another version is linked to opt.
Use
Use
brew install --force if you want to install this version
@MelanieMitschke that's a common carelink error
Many love to all, again. Just setup a new rig and it runs like expected
If you're using carelink, I'd recommend switching to a TI stick or other radio stick
@SandraK82 :smile: :+1:
@kws1969 it's a warning, you can ignore
ok
Could someone send my a screen shot of what their wifi screen like for edison? Trying to add multiple wifi networks and add my phone https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/16466462_695018254040087_1949419234_o.png?oh=4f2d6792872f474a78f04535c2e40660&oe=5898C237
screen @jburke41 the screen shot you showed is not where you add networks
@Kdisimone please delete the post as it shows a lot different accesspoints
I actually change them reguarly
Since I use screenshots for guides all the time…i don’t keep them as i share them
@Kdisimone where do I add the access points?
'vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf'
Thank you very much!
vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Sorry. On mobile. Not formatting right
Anyone? What's the command for a pump retune?
You mean mmeowlink retune?
Openaps use pump mmtune ?
Yes. Mmeowlink retune. @danamlewis isthe command just that?
I guess the other bigger question...how often is that set to run in cron? For default installations.
No that's not the command, was just making sure you were talking mmeow, not Riley. It's part of the loop and won't run if working but works on a % of failures
Ok. Was watching pump log have repeated no pump comms go by for awhile. Finally saw it do a tune and it fixed things. Was wondering if there was a command I could enter if I wanted to push that along sometimes. Rather than waiting it out
Setting up a new edison / explorer board setup...and damn, the dev documentation is good! And look all those new features (BT Tethering)...getting stoked!
@danamlewis so is there a command for doing that? Or one doesn't exist? I'm not quite sure
Hi I have a pump which loops for openaps but I am trying to find out whether I should flash the TI stick with WW OR NA firmware. The model number ends in CAP. If anyone's using one and has flashed TI stick I'd love to know!
@Kdisimone
killall -g openaps; openaps mmtune
:+1: thanks scott
@chookchook1 that's a Canadian pump? If so, I think it uses NA frequencies.
@logichammer :+1:
(Although there's even better stuff in master docs, need to merge that back to dev. It's generally safer to use master/latest docs vs dev)
Gotcha...having a ton of luck with dev but with flip over to master to see if I am missing anything... Thanks!
:+1:
I can see in the docs BT tether for sharing a phones internet connection but based on @tim2000s post, it looked like you could BT connect to a G4 with Shareable to pull CGM numbers directly for offline mode (when there is no interwebs) with no wires. Is there documentation for that? Missing it somehow. Thanks!
That or pulling numbers magically from xDrip locally maybe...
There's openxshareble, or using xdrip+ on an android phone
Openxshareble we haven't gotten stable yet, so if you make it stable and usable on a regular basis please let us know how :D
Gotcha...xdrip has been super stable for us...are there docs for hooking into openaps? If not, I can still use the cable connected approach. The rig size is just awesome!
Oh hell yeah! THANKS!!!!
:smile: that section is newly added, so more PRs for clarification welcome
You bet...I think I'll play it safe with this rig and go straight G4 but then I see this awesome stuff: [--cgm=(G4|shareble|G4-raw|G5|MDT|xdrip)] [--bleserial=SM123456] [--blemac=FE:DC:BA:98:76:54] [--btmac=AB:CD:EF:01:23:45] [--enable='autosens meal dexusb'] [--radio_locale=(WW|US)]
Need to heal my old explorer board or get another and then I'll go xdrip!
@scottleibrand that's what I had wondered. Bought second hand in Australia, so hard to know! I'll try NA. Thanks so much.
Damn, I love these setup scripts!
y
Have you seen run-again.sh now? ;)
No...what is that?
What I did last Saturday :smile:
Ha! I will definitely use that...I just saved the output from before it ran the command...but I will probably lose it so handy!
:+1:
