OpenScale doesn't remember zero point after powering down and up again
kramer65 opened this issue · 6 comments
I've got the OpenScale attached to my Raspi, which after some initial trouble now works fine. The only problem I now still have is that it doesn't remember the zero point between reboots of the Raspberry Pi. The calibration is stored correctly between power downs (-9649), but the zero point (now -23859) is constantly forgotten and reset to 8647409.
For this reason I need to tar to zero after every reboot which is absolutely annoying.
Does anybody know why it doesn't remember the zero point and how I can solve this? Another solution would be if I could set the zero point using Python so that I can simply set it in the beginning of the script which reads out the measurements.
All tips are welcome!
Yes - There is an updated version of the firmware here: https://github.com/sparkfun/OpenScale/blob/master/firmware/OpenScale/OpenScale/OpenScale.ino which solves that problem.
Sorry Openscale has put you through such a crucible. I did look into your-every third weight-problem but I wasn't able to reproduce it. If you have any more questions open another issue - I'm watching this a little more closely now.
Hi @ADataDate - Thanks for the response and the suggestion. Good to hear there are things moving with the OpenScale. I'm kinda lost with that link though. Any idea how I can load that firmware onto the OpenScale board from a raspi?
@kramer65 @ADataDate +1 to this. I've not been able to find a method for flashing the updated firmware to the openscale.
Hi,
@ADataDate I've updated the firmware but still the result is same. Kindly help!
Hi @kramer65 @asachs01 @nayanagg - This is a bit old but to answer the original question: The INO file is an Arduino sketch that can be compiled and uploaded to OpenScale via the Arduino IDE (no other tools required). Here's a tutorial to get you started.
You can download the entire repo here. The INO that you will need to open in Arduino is in the firmware/OpenScale directory.
I've fixed a handle of large and small bugs in v1.2. If you get the chance, please try out the new firmware. I welcome your feedback.
