Problem with iSpindel Plugin - Display Values

[hippohop]

I have a clean new installation of Raspbian Stretch and Craftbeerpi3. After successfully installing the iSpindel plug-in and subsequent reset, I can configure Craftbeerpi3 with a new sensor for temperature, tilt, battery, etc., but no values are displayed. iSpindel is, of course, configured on Craftbeerpi, a corresponding IP address including the default port 5000 and the corresponding wi-fi network. There are also no values in the log file. I do not know what's wrong or what I'm doing wrong. How can I verify the correct communication iSpindel with Craftbeerpi3?

i-Spindel is functional because it currently works via UBIDOTS. i-Spindel currently has the latest firmware 5.5.0.

thanks for any ideas

I was running into the same problems. But I guess the cause is the new iSpindel Software. After a downgrade to 5.1.2 it worked again.

When you configure the iSpindel, do not put the port on the ip address. when you select Craftbeerpi as the server tyoe it adds the 5000 itself.

the biggest issue with thtis is you must run CBPi on 5000 for ispindel to work

We have the same issue, while working on the same network with the same iSpindel setup it works with Craftbeerpi 2.2 but not with CBPi3. iSpindel Firmware is currently latest 5.8.6.

I am not well versed in python debugging however netstat outputs that craftbeerpi3 listens on port 5000 and starting the run.py manually with strace outputs every time the iSpindel sends data:

…181 being the iSpindel, …42 being the Pi. The data obviously reaches the craftbeerpi software, however I have no Idea how to debug it any further.

The packets that are being received seem to contain reasonable data though:

I'd like to assist further in debugging this, though I currently do not know how.
