Can't get a local cloud connection with photon

[ivorjawa]

I'm using the origin/release/v0.8.0-rc.8 branch of spark. Other versions don't work as well. I can setup the photon to the point it is rapidly blinking cyan, but I never get a local cloud connection. spark-server is the head of dev, running on a raspberry pi.

@AntonPuko - can you check this out?

[AntonPuko]

@jlkalberer only after 3rd of aug. I don't have photon and rpi where I'm now. @ivorjawa Could you provide server logs? Usually, that behavior means that the device is trying to connect, but fails on a handshake because of wrong server/device keys

[ivorjawa]

I'm running on Raspberrian Jessie, the latest Brewskey spark-server, the latest particle-cli, and the latest spark firmware, origin/release/v0.8.0-rc.8 My symptoms are, no matter what combination of keys doctor, keys server, and setup I use, I never get past the rapid cyan flash. I can connect to local wifi fine, and the keys I've generated show up the spark-servers database, but the Photon will not connect to the local cloud.

I've attempted to switch the logging level to 'debug' in dist/settings.js, but I'm only seeing INFO level messages, and they're not particularly helpful.

The following log is two restarts of the server. I can see that the Photon is in some form of communication with the server, because when I kill the server the LED goes from fast blinking cyan to blinking orange. When I restart the server, it goes back to fast cyan.

The server does have the right device key:

The method I'm using to try to get the Photon connecting:

make clean all PLATFORM=photon program-dfu particle identify particle keys server pyoming_default_key_pub.pem --protocol tcp --host raspberrypi.lan --port 8080 cd keytemp && particle keys doctor 45002a001051353532343635 && cd .. particle setup particle list (should be online, isn't)

@AntonPuko if you send me an address, I'd be happy to send you a Photon and RPi.

Thanks!

[AntonPuko]

@ivorjawa Nah. I'm in Russia. Postmail here is pretty shitty and there can be also problems with customs control for wifi devices. So it won't be faster than 3 aug anyways. The things you can try until that time: 1) be sure that you follow those steps for setup device: https://github.com/Brewskey/spark-server/issues/262#issuecomment-373546147 2) You can try to debug it by yourself.

1. go to node_modules/spark-protocol/package.json and change that to https://github.com/Brewskey/spark-protocol/blob/dev/package.json#L4 "main": "./src/index.js" .
2. the very first point where any device is connecting to the server is there: https://github.com/Brewskey/spark-protocol/blob/dev/src/server/DeviceServer.js#L208 If it never get to that, it means that you have wrong network setup either on device or on rpi.

Also, did you open the COAP port? It may be blocked on the linux distro...

There was this issue in the past that may help - https://github.com/Brewskey/spark-server/issues/115

[ivorjawa]

It's raspbian Jesse. Pretty sure it doesn't block any ports by default but I'll double check.

I can connect to the coap port, and the spark-server does log the connection. So the photon isn't even getting that far along in the connection.

[kujawa@nikola spark-server]$ telnet raspberrypi.lan 5683 Trying 192.168.86.103... Connected to raspberrypi.lan. Escape character is '^]'. ?7c?|?E6??Kˏo?zX????(?p?B?8?6G??A Connection closed by foreign host.

[jlkalberer]

If the photon isn’t even getting that far it means you may have set the host incorrectly when configuring your photon. Can you paste the commands you used?

This might be part of the problem.

[AntonPuko]

@ivorjawa Just reached my photon and RPI and tested. It's working as expected. Your problem could be in this command particle keys server pyoming-default_key.pub.der --protocol tcp --host 192.168.86.103 --port 8080 you don't need to provide the port when uploading server keys to the device. Notice, actually spark-server consists of two servers running at one time on different ports: 1) express server running on port 8080 that serves REST api 2) sockets server running on port 5683 to which devices connect to.

As I said, durring the setup you should follow those instructions very carefully https://github.com/Brewskey/spark-server/issues/262#issuecomment-373546147

[jlkalberer]

@ivorjawa - did this solve your problem?

[ivorjawa]

Oh for fuck's actual sake. hangs head Thanks. That works. Fffffffffffffffffff
