There is no /usr/bin/sleep file.

so I created a test.py file that only uses the adcExp module.

from OmegaExpansion import AdcExp

class Test:
def init(self):
self.adc = AdcExp.AdcExp(address=0x48);
print(self.adc.read_voltage(0));

Test();

At first I had import time at the top, and I had the same error. I removed import time, and now I do get the voltage value form the adcExp. So the error from above where /usr/bin/sleep not present issue is of course related to the import time.

I would like to use the sleep function of the time module as well, so not this troubleshooting why there is no time module present.

Any help on how to make sure I have access to the time module both in regular python but as well micropython which the dash is using for the GUI software.

If I isolate in the test.py file just import time, and then I create a class like so
import time
from OmegaExpansion import AdcExp

class Test:
def init(self):
print(time.time());
# self.adc = AdcExp.AdcExp(address=0x48);root@Omega-C592:~# python test.py
1601145313.58
# print(self.adc.read_voltage(0));

Test();

The time is printed out like it should.

root@Omega-C592:~# python test.py
1601145313.58

And if i just leave the print commented out, all is well.

import time
from OmegaExpansion import AdcExp

class Test:
def init(self):
print(time.time());
self.adc = AdcExp.AdcExp(address=0x48);
# print(self.adc.read_voltage(0));

Test();

This works as well, no bug and time is printed out.

However, when I try to read_voltage(0) I get the error from above:

root@Omega-C592:~# python test.py
1601145446.04
onion-i2c:: write issue for register 0x01, errno is 6: No such device or address

self._device.writeBytes(self._devAddr, ADS1x15_POINTER_CONFIG, [(config >> & 0xFF, config & 0xFF])
IOError: I2C transaction failed.

so time works as expected, the adcExp works as expected, but when combine together is it breaking on the /usr/bin/sleep file

I just went to /usr/bin/ and created a blank sleep.py file, cuz why not.

The error comes back even when I am not importing anything regarding the time module. Is there some sleep module that I need to import?

I went over to the working omega2 project I have and found that there is a file called sleep and it has contents in it. I can probably copy the file over, but it gets me thinking that the opkg should in some way do this. So I am missing a step here somewhere.

Any ideas on the getting the sleep file present in /usr/bin/sleep

So the ADC chip is reporting itself at address 0x48; Good.

<<
# print(self.adc.read_voltage(0));
<<

So far, we know that the ADC "sits well" on the Dash and reports itself at 0x48. Next step is accessing the channels (0-3) on the ADC using /usr/bin/adc-exp

As per:
https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/using-adc-expansion.html#using-adc-expansion
+++
For example, if we want to read channel 0:

adc-exp 0
Will return something like

A0 Voltage: 2.12 V
+++

If the reader is connected to channel 0 of ADC (btw, the top 3 images are wrong, they show A0 & A1 twice, not A2 or A3, where as the photograph(the 5th), correctly shows A0, A1, A2 & A3), issuing "adc-exp 0", it would reply:

A0 Voltage: 2.12 V (or some valid value)

Are you there yet? You would need to issue "adc-exp 3" if your sensor is connected to ADC channel 3.
Please read below, about correcting the /usr/bin/sleep, required for /usr/bin/adc-exp:

<<
root@Omega-C592:~/OmegaHomeControl# adc-exp 0
/usr/bin/adc-exp: line 208: /usr/bin/sleep: not found
<<

/usr/bin/acd-exp has /usr/bin/sleep declared at line:85 as:

84: # wait for the conversion delay before reading the conversion register
85: /usr/bin/sleep $deviceConversionDelay

It doesn't seem that /usr/bin/sleep is present in Omega2+ either (FW b233)

root@Omega-745F:~# ls -l /usr/bin/sleep
ls: /usr/bin/sleep: No such file or directory

/bin/sleep is present though, which is a link to /usr/bin/gnu-sleep

root@Omega-745F:~# which sleep
/bin/sleep

root@Omega-745F:~# ls -l /bin/sleep
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Sep 21 04:11 /bin/sleep -> /usr/bin/gnu-sleep

root@Omega-745F:~# opkg search /usr/bin/gnu-sleep
coreutils-sleep - 8.23-4

You can modify line 85 of the /usr/bin/adc-exp script to point to /bin/sleep (instead of /usr/bin/sleep)
or create a link to gnu-sleep as sleep in /usr/bin

root@Omega-745F:~# ln -s /usr/bin/gnu-sleep /usr/bin/sleep (preferred)

<<
I created a test.py file that only uses the adcExp module.
<<

I don't have ADC-Exp, so I can't test any script that is pointing to ADC-Exp.

<<
So the error from above where /usr/bin/sleep not present issue is of course related to the import time
<<

I am positive that the time implementation of python is not dependent on any Linux executable that we see under /bin, /usr/bin etc.

If:
root@Omega-745F:~# python3
Python 3.6.11 (default, Jul 14 2020, 21:51:14)
[GCC 7.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time
>>> time.sleep(2) (should return the >>> prompt after 2s)
>>>
>>> exit()
root@Omega-745F:~#
then, time in python3 works fine.

Once issuing "adc-exp [0-3]" returns something like "A[0-3] Voltage: 2.12 V", we know it works, and we can try implementing it in python.

Thanks..

I get the same results in my test file. I an read 0, but not 1, 2, or 3.

LightSwitch

When I run the script, and change the address in the script (not from the command line), I noted that at first I would get a value (voltage) but eventually it would fail.

0 would work, 1 did not, two worked once, and three worked through several cycles like below. 'station' first number is the address of the adc. the (-num) denotes the actual read_voltage value. This was in a while True: loop with a one second delay. So after three seconds, the error appeared for adc channel 3.

@LightSwitch :
Reading the docs, I understand that the ADC-Exp uses TI ADS1115 A/D converter. It offers 4 analog "ports" where sensors can be connected. In your specific setup, the I2C side of the ADC-Exp has I2C address 0x48. We have verified that using "i2cdetect" tool. The remaining part is the Analog side of the ADC where you have connected a sensor (to measure the voltage?)

From the above, I assume that the sensor is connected to port A0, since it doesn't give "Error: Write failed"

<<
I noted that at first I would get a value (voltage) but eventually it would fail.
<<

Let us worry about the python script later..

When you connect the ADC-Exp to your other Omega2 (Not the Dash), and if you execute "adc-exp 0" after meeting all that we (such as taking care of /usr/bin/sleep) discussed, what does it show ?

Is the reading correct ?
If not, what reading is the expected ?
Did you check the reading with a voltmeter?
What make/model of sensor is used?

Thanks..

LightSwitch

Other working project, the adc-exp same code working fine. I don't have to do the sleep file link, the file is there.

The adc works, the sensors work and turn off and on relays depending on the sensor logic. if I run the adc-exp # I get

root@Omega-B437:~/projects# adc-exp 0
A0 Voltage: 0 V
root@Omega-B437:~/projects# adc-exp 1
A1 Voltage: 0.79 V
root@Omega-B437:~/projects# adc-exp 2
A2 Voltage: 0.58 V
root@Omega-B437:~/projects# adc-exp 3
A3 Voltage: 0.76 V

I had three sensors connected on ports 0, 1, and 3. port 2 has nothing on the adc.
I have a motion sensor, temp sensor, and photo resistor. They all work and toggle the correct relays on my main project where I am not using a dash.

Then I power down and change the header plug to the dash, and we get what I have described.
I also did the sleep link like you mentioned, and now I can call time.sleep(2) so that works now. Thanks.

LightSwitch

Just out of curiosity, I changed the switch on the adc to 0x49 and I changed the code for the motion sensor to 0x49 and the sensor now triggers the relay! So perhaps there is something about 0x48 and 0x49 on the dash software?

Again, the 0x48 switch and code work on omega2+ but not on dash.
On the dash, the 0x49 works. Here is the motion sensor code for reference.

from OmegaExpansion import AdcExp
import time
import threading

class Motion:

  def __init__(self, station=None, threshold=None, parent=None):
    print('********** Motion Module Starting **********', station, threshold);

    if station is None:
      raise ValueError("An Address must be passed into the constructor argument 1.");

    if threshold is None:
      raise ValueError("A Threshold must be passed into the constructor argument 2.");

    if parent is None:
      raise ValueError("A Parent self must be passed into the constructor argument 3."

    self.station = station;
    self.threshold = threshold;
    self.adc = AdcExp.AdcExp(address=0x49);
    self.parent = parent;
    motionThread = threading.Thread(target=self.listen);
    motionThread.daemon = True;
    motionThread.start();

    self.listen();

  def listen(self):
    while 1:
      print('station: ', self.station, self.threshold);
      print(self.adc.read_voltage(0));

      if self.adc.read_voltage(self.station) > self.threshold:
        self.parent.motionOn();
      else:
        self.parent.motionOff();

      time.sleep(1);

and here is the parent switch.py file that calls it.

import time

from relays import Relays
from motion import Motion
from light import Light
from temp import Temp

class Switch:

  def __init__(self):

    self.motionDetected = False;
    self.relay = Relays(7);
    self.relay.setAllOff();
    self.motion = Motion(0, 3, self);
    # self.light = Light(3, 1000, self);
    # self.temp = Temp(1, 85, self);

    self.start = time.time();

    while True:
      print('||||| SWITCH ACTIVE |||||');
      time.sleep(10);

    self.status = 0;

  def motionOn(self):
    self.motionDetected = True;
    self.relay.set(0, 1);

  def motionOff(self):
    self.motionDetected = False;
    self.relay.set(0, 0);

  def tempOn(self):
    self.relay.set(1, 1);

  def tempOff(self):
    self.relay.set(1, 0);

  def testOn(self):
    print('testOn');
    self.status = 1 - self.relay.read(0);
    self.relay.set(0, self.status);

  def lightOn(self):
    if self.motionDetected and self.relay.read(0) == 0:
      self.relay.set(0, 1);

  def lightOff(self):
    if not self.motionDetected and self.relay.read(0) == 1:
      self.relay.set(0, 0);

It would be nice to know the diff. I have 4 Dash, so I can try this on the others as well, but it will take time before I can get to them.

For now, I'll focus on just getting one to work.

The next part of this is getting the call micropython swtich.py to be what activates the swtich file instead of calling python switch.py

This is so that I can use the Micropython & LVGL support of the Dash. link

Unless I can use it with just python?

tjoseph1

@LightSwitch :

Excellent. We should have tried the 0x49 setting. Nice to know that you were be able to sort it out. As per:
https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/using-adc-expansion.html#using-adc-expansion : the command
adc-exp 0 works for ADC-Ext @ 0x48 address. For 0x49, the format is:
"adc-exp -s <switch value> <channel>"
or
adc-exp -s 0x49 3, (for a sensor connected to ADC-Exp port 3).

<<
It would be nice to know the diff
<<
I don't know. The I2C, in theory should work fine, unless you have a 2nd device with the same address (0x48 in our case) in the I2C bus along with with ADC-Exp configured for 0x48. You can check that by running "i2cdetect". As per your current config, the ADC-Exp should report 0x49, while the "second device" shall report 0x48, if there is one.

<<
I can try this on the others as well
<<
That would be great if you could do that. This thread could be of use to many (future) Dash users.

<<
I can use the Micropython&LVGL
<<
I read from one of the posts of @crispyoz that Micropython is preferred. I am on the C-side, though.

Anyways, pls post your findings, so that it would be useful everyone. Always remember to use the tools (i2c.., adc-exp etc.) before we focus on python programs. python would work only after we solve the issues found by running the tools.

Thanks..

Although Micropython is preferred, it doesn't work for the dash I have. The micropython command for some reason lacks access to the same libraries that python has.

Again, I can run python mypython.py file
where I cannot run the same file with micropython mypython.py file.

"

but when I call micropython switch.py it dumps this error: ImportError: no module named 'OmegaExpansion'

@György-Farkas said in Omega2 Dash ADC EXP (Python) not connecting.:

Yes, this is correct, the Omega2 Dash uses an XPT7603 I2C-based touch screen controller. Didn't realize it conflicts with the ADC Expansion.

Where is the best place to document this so users are aware?

Package micropython (1.9.2-1f78e7a43130acfa4bedf16c1007a1b0f37c75c3-1) is installed on root and has the following files:
/usr/bin/micropython

There is one more package that would be required:

root@Omega-745F:/tmp# opkg install micropython-lib

root@Omega-745F:/tmp# opkg files micropython-lib
Package micropython-lib (1.9-f5fe55aaef1a39d3d56f07040c0ff9f7e841fdf7-1) is installed on root and has the following files:
/usr/lib/micropython/binhex.py
...(There are about 196 .py files/libs)
/usr/lib/micropython/time.py
(even "time" is part of micropython-lib and micropython points to the libs provided by micropython-lib)
...

I have not done any micropython on Omega, but on an STM32 board, using the download provided at:
https://www.micropython.org/download/stm32/ and I guess there could be differences (v1.13-77 vs Omega's Linux port shows v1.9.2 ?). There is no Linux on STM32, micropython is the alpha and omega there.

This:

was very useful..

I am not sure if "micropython-lib" contain all that you need, but micropython with out "micropython-lib", it is pretty retarded.
It is up to you to chose.

Thanks..

I have both of those installed, however it still throws the OmegaExpansion error is missing.

@LightSwitch :
"opkg list-installed" gives you the list of pkgs that are already installed. Pls try opkg --help to get all the switches that opkg accepts.
