FNIRSI GC-01: Data communications

mveplus commented 3 months ago

Installed Rad Pro on GC-01's with a CH32F103R8T6 processor (WCH) radpro-fnirsi-gc01-ch32f103r8-2.0rc4.bin. All work beautifully on the device, thank you! I would like to use the serial interface to read the data from the device but have some issues on Linux with enumerating the serial port over USB correctly.

Is USB-C to serial bridge supported on GC-01 with WCH MCU?

Thank you @Gissio I was looking for it under Data logging did not realise the settings menu have much more options [ a minor UI improvement with line indicator on a side were you are ;) would be nice to have ]

The port comes up, but it's a bit hit and miss, it's sometimes does, and other times you have to press more than once on the data mode to activate it. The enable state is not remembered if device is powered-off [ I guess battery power saving reasons ? ] it would be nice if it can be set on and state remembered with warning that will impact if only on battery life or turn off if USB power is not connected.

Now, I can connect to it but device does not seem respond to any of the examples. [ using baud-rate 115200 and settings as advised] , any advice?

Gissio commented 3 months ago

It's a great idea to store the data mode state in the settings. Will be added in the next release.

If you have trouble connecting, check the USB cable.

To test, try https://github.com/Gissio/geigerlog-radpro.

Good work! looks great ;) , Can the geigerlog-radpro work without the GUI only in CLI? I had a quick look but can't see an option to start without the GUI.

Okay I think I found out more about "enable data mode sometimes the USB ACM device does not show up".

first time I found the option and enable it was enumerated immediately in my OS, so I was expecting this to happen every time.
then I turned off the device and then back and connected the USB link before enabling it, then when I did enable data mode nothing was happening in the dmseg logs, I had to repeated going to the menu and re-enable and it sometimes it showed up, but other times it will not sense any changes on the OS side with the device data link could be a timing issues?
Then while the data mode was enabled [ staying on the Data connection enabled screen ], Unplug and re-plug the USB link worked every time enumerating it.
Also tested with diferent cable to rule out bad cable.

Thanks for the heads up for the state . Let me know if I can help with the device I have? Cheers
