Raspberry Pi calibration options

Raspberry Pi calibration options

Opened this issue 5 years ago · 5 comments

I'm currently trying to implement the device on a Raspberry Pi based on this library. I've managed to implement data collection just fine, but I'm a bit unclear about calibration options. The documentation seems to only have sketches for a Teensy device, and the pi code itself has a non-Master object type that seems to write to individual registers and such but if that is usable for calibration, and how to use it, I'm unable to find the documentation or figure it out.

Is calibration with the Pi possible? If so, how can I go about learning how to do it? If not, when will it be added?

No plans to specifically support the Raspberry pi, we don't use it. But if you can read data from the EM7180 with the pi there is no reason you can't do everything else with it using the pi including calibrate it. Please see this <https://github.com/gregtomasch/EM7180_SENtral_Calibration> and this <https://github.com/simondlevy/EM7180>. If still not good enough, we might be available to make this work for you on a contract basis.

@JNatael have you made any progress on this?

Sadly no; I think the firmware on my device somehow got corrupted and due to this issue (#18) I can't rewrite it, meaning I couldn't use it even if I could calibrate.

The only way for the firmware to get corrupted is if you try to write to the EEPROM, is this what happened?

Actually was just posting the more full story in another issue: #60

The short answer is no, the device worked fine and then, after being shipped overseas, stopped working. I have been trying for some time now to figure out what happened or find a solution, all to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated!
