Hi,

what kind of software are you using for an lte modem? Especially on the Omega2 LTE version? We tried Modemmanager and uqmi but didnt get a stable connection. We are using the omega2 pro as an travel router and sometimes its loosing its connection to the modem and never get connected again, than we have to restart the interface manually, most of the times this helps. And sometimes is completly lost an we have to restart the omega. Were using OpenWrt 22.03.05. Modem is a Quectel Ep06. So the question is what kind of software is used on the original omega2 lte?

Thats really great news! Will the new firmware (22.03.xx) also work with the omega2-lte? Or are there any restrictions because of the modem?

@Lazar-Demin perfect i will try this

Great work! Really love it
Now that hardware pwm is possible using command line, will there be an easy way to use pwm. Before it was possible to use

onion pwm <CHANNEL> <DUTY CYCLE> <FREQUENCY>

or should we write a python module which uses the documented command line methods?

Thx again for the great work

@Lazar-Demin
the main use is to communicate with an Analog digital converter. And many python libraries are using spidev so i think it makes sense to make this working again. Anyway if there is an alternative its also ok, but for now i didnt found a working solution in python3.

I also tried to use spi-tools for testing the spi connection and there also seems to be some errors. But i will do some further tests later and give some feedback.

Hi,

is there a way to use software emulated pwm in OpenWrt 22.03. with an Omega2+?
I know its possible in 18.06. but since 21.X OpenWrt removed the w1_gpio_custom package.

Any ideas?

@Lazar-Demin

I found this post https://community.onion.io/post/25025 and added these patches to your firmware builder for openwrt 22.03. Build and flashing was successful but not tested it yet.

Dont know but maybe it helps you in your open issues. Especially for gpio mapping.

@crispyoz
Oh, okay — so you really did physically fall into a hole and got hurt? Luckily, you managed to get out again!
Yes issue is still there but we ignoring it for now and see if later updates will solve it. Most of the time we only need connection to an mobile phone and that is no problem. And for the other issue were continously pinging the AP to keep the connection as a workaround.

@crispyoz ok, i discovered another strange behavior. When connecting to an ShellyBluetooth Dongle AP the omega keeps disconnecting/connecting. I need to run a script which continuesly ping the AP to keep the connection. With other hardware the connection to the shelly is no problem. So it looks like the omega is doing something different.

@crispyoz any news?

@crispyoz Yes its still there but its for mips and not mipsel, and for mipsel its not there ... damn even the ipk i cant find anywhere

@crispyoz i found out this: https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/faillogs-23.05/mipsel_24kc/packages/python-bcrypt/ there seems to be some error when compiling the package..Looks like they updated the repo 2 days ago but compiling bcrypt wasnt successful and so the package is missing...did i get this right?

but what can i do now?

Yes but days before building was successful, so something has changed. Maybe the repo from openwrt then...ich will check this

if you look here: https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.3/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/ there is the paramiko package...

Ahh now i see its python3-bcrypt which is missing...thats what you mean...but why did it worked a few days ago, i´ve changed nothing inside the build environment.

When i try to install it with pip the omega reboots when trying to install bcrypt...

@crispyoz For now i will ignore this behavior because our customers only use mobile phone to interact with the omega, and this works so far. Anyway not so good to not know whats going on there...

@Lazar-Demin has something changed in image builder? Now i get this error:

* pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency python3-bcrypt for python3-paramiko
* pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency python3-cryptography for python3-paramiko
* pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for python3-paramiko found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package python3-paramiko.

@crispyoz ok now tested with an old surface book 2, this one keeps the connection. My gaming pc and a new Dell Precision Laptop still keeps disconnecting.

Yes i already thought about this but makes no difference
