sorry pics again

This has everything: http://a.co/j8Iv8M0

THANK YOU!!

 

[janos]

Just to be sure,start raspberry pi,log in and than start my browser with my ip:192.168.1.12 and ther is the login screen.Try to log in as pi and pw:raspberry then i got that red line if i try to refresh than go back to the login page again.Never was that hard,i do something wrong

sorry pics again

Theres nothing wrong / error in the log, whats does browser refresh does, can you share a screen of the browser ?

does this work?

curl -u username:password http://localhost/api/capabilities

change username/password as per your setup

 

[sjeff35]

Yeah, I moved it to dashboard itself, its now located on the bottom right of the dashboard.

Ha, I had typed that then figured out you moved it. I thought I had deleted it before I posted.

I can be an authentication issue. check with api that username/password is correct.
BTW, i have added a command line way of resetting password in reef-pi as part of the new beta. We'll see if thats required,

Hi Ranjib try to download again,i think something was wrong wit download or install.

Hi Ranjib try to download again,i think something was wrong wit download or install.

can you elaborate a little bit more? You were not able to download or not able to install?

So the PWM module Kicad files are up on Github after 3 attempts :-/

I've changed to version 0.2 due to misalignment of some outputs (not sequential) and removal off all via's

I'v followed this guide https://jnavila.github.io/plotkicadsch/ describing which files would be required for sharing. I'm not using Linux so I can't follow the complete guide, so I just copied the files manually. The PWM.zip file contains all the Gerber and Drill files to order at JLCPCB.com but as stated these files have not been tested in any way yet! However you can view how they would look like and get an indication of PCB and transportation costs.

Do note that this PWM PCB can't be directly connected to the PI as it conflicts in size with the USB and Network connectors on the PI. It requires the HAT on the PI first. Also the 3D picture doesn't show the correct 6 pin above the capacitor but that has no impact on the functionality of the PCB (should be a stackable 6 pin 2.54mm pitch male/female connector.

The files should be available at Github under Reef-PI_PCBs


Don't know why I can't delete the 2nd image

 

[Ranjib]

For anyone else who want to check out the pcb files, they are here: https://github.com/vandegraaf/Reef-PI_PCBs
These files only work with Kicad version 5. I had to update my kicad.
thanks @wykat , love them. You are generating the finished pcb renderings on kicad itself ?

some screen shots.
front trace

silk screen layer

kicad schematics

very nice

 

[wykat]

You are generating the finished pcb renderings on kicad itself ?

I've done 2 different things for making the renderings: ALT-3 in Kicad generates the renderings with components
Generate a quote at https://jlcpcb.com/quote and add the PWM.zip file and it will generate the PCB renderings. You then also have the option to view the Gerber files and look for any problems

PS: I've just updated some files to have a clean BOM and housing information between the .sch and .pcb files. As a result the transistor are 180 degrees rotated (as it should be) and the BOM is complete (.csv and .html files). Have to look if we can generate a Reef-PI BOM HTML sheet

I've learned that some things break when you upgrade from Kicad 4 to Kicad 5 due to different libraries. Will now have a look at the HAT to get that clean as well.

PS: How have you created the top B/W picture. I wanted to such picture in the past to print out and define which parts to change.
PPS: I've now included the digikey libraries as they will make it simpler to add component information. Plan to use those in the future.
PPPS: For the silk screen I will have to update the gerber files as well.....

Hi Ranjib,i told you that is only my fault try to log in as PI and PW:raspberry.Finally as i read thru your post than i can see log in and pw first time is reef-pi.Sorry for the false alarm,now i start to rebuild again.And as always thank you for your help.

 

[wykat]

received the first PCB's today

I wanted to make some pictures in detail but unfortunately a girl friend likes my camera too much :mad:

First impression however is very positive. Nevertheless I would like to have a more close up.

@Ranjib

I think I may have uncovered another issue with the Beta 7.

My timer for my Fuge light didn't run last night or this morning. I just deleted them and created a new test timer:

If my thinking is correct, this should have turned on the Equipment "FugeLht" on at 9:07 am , however, there's nothing in the log:

Here's the output from the API:

[{"id":"9","minute":"7","day":"*","hour":"9","second":"0","name":"Test","type":"equipment","reminder":{"title":"","message":""},"equipment":{"revert":false,"id":"25","on":true,"duration":0},"enable":false}]

Did I set it up incorrectly? The Fugelight timer I had setup was working flawlessly.


Thanks

I found it last night, through my all in one build. this is another UI bug :-( . I'll patch it tonight. The 'enable' field should be true. You can fix it via API, till I patch and release a new build. Save the API output in json file, edit the "enable" field to change its value to true (without quote) and then update the timer with this command (assuming the file name is timer.json)

curl -u user:password -X POST -d @timer.json http://<IP>/api/timers/9

that should do it.

I got the black and white image for the Front layer when I exported the project as pdf. Kicad generates a bunch of pdfs each for different layers, screen etc.

I'm not going to worry too much about it until you patch it. I tried updating it, but get this error:


{"error":"json: cannot unmarshal array into Go value of type timer.Job"}

Hi to all,happy day everything working ,just a small hick up wit the temp sensor.Any of you experience this?Temp go up to 125 F and back to regular 77.

Hi i think you just need to remove the star front of the numbers (*) i did the same thing and working.
