Question about Error Codes - Meaning/Frequency
Timmmy001 opened this issue · 4 comments
I have Questions which codes are of concern and in which frequency are negligible:
With 26815 readings (with 24 reading every 10 sec. / approx 17h long) I get 33 errors each code 4 (timeout?).
I use HardwareSerial on a ESP32.
Stupid question, but is this a good average or in need of improvement?
Power on 3,3V-PIN is ok (supply Modbus-Module too)
Powered from USB-Charger (4,87V under load)
I use standard parameters:
SDM sdm(Serial, 9600, NOT_A_PIN, SERIAL_8N1, 16, 17);
From what source do you get "TS Write Error Codes"?
Back to Error code 4:
What mean this? Timeout? From my Modbus-Module/ESP (too slow/stuck bits)?
I can't see errors on webpage if the error-counter rise (no 'nan').
do not pay attention to TS... this is my sketch which loads results to thingspeak! (and this is http error list)
so... I prepared another example, this time for esp32:
https://github.com/reaper7/SDM_Energy_Meter/tree/master/examples/sdm_live_page_esp32_hwserial
and at the moment I am testing for possible errors...
I won't be able to do it long enough because my home automation needs live data from my orginal sketch
in the example given above, adjust the pins to your configuration at line:
https://github.com/reaper7/SDM_Energy_Meter/blob/master/examples/sdm_live_page_esp32_hwserial/sdm_live_page_esp32_hwserial.ino#L43
Error code 4 is timeout: (https://github.com/reaper7/SDM_Energy_Meter/blob/master/SDM.h#L224)
and means, that in the time declared by MAX_MILLIS_TO_WAIT (default 500ms) (https://github.com/reaper7/SDM_Energy_Meter/blob/master/SDM_Config_User.h#L84)
esp has not received the complete data from your meter.
This piece of code starts in a line: https://github.com/reaper7/SDM_Energy_Meter/blob/master/SDM.cpp#L110
esp in a loop checks the uart receive buffer until the complete 9 bytes are received
or if MAX_MILLIS_TO_WAIT time is exceeded.
In your case the second situation occurs...
At the beginning
Eliminate the first visible problem, lack of full 5V voltage and change the power supply to a more powerful...it doesn't have to be, but it can matter.
