ISSUE #52 Fixed issue with bluetooth instructions #53

Closed patmagauran closed 6 years ago

patmagauran commented 6 years ago

Changed the enclosure port from /dev/ttyAMA0 to /dev/ttyAMA1. AMA0 is required for bluetooth, AMA1 can be used as the general purpose serial port.

It seems there may some changeable settings which could alter which one works. May need to rewrite that part of the directions to include some of the options listed here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/uart.md

Ah, so it likely changed at some point between builds by @penrods. @btotharye and I got it working on /dev/ttyAMA1 in the 0.8 builds (pre-pre-alpha), people on Mattermost were reporting errors, when I checked my Picroft install, the appropriate hardware device address was now /dev/ttyAMA0.

@RotatingFans thank you for linking the documentation

We might need to flush this out a little bit, instruct people to check /dev/AMA[0-2] (I don't think it should ever go above 2), The Picroft builds used to have serial enabled basically naked MarkI output design.

I've resolved this for now by changing the wording to;

First, we need to enable Bluetooth.

  1. Edit the /etc/mycroft/mycroft.conf file
  2. Add "port": "/dev/ttyAMA0" to the enclosure settings. You may need to use "port": "/dev/ttyAMA1" or "port": "/dev/ttyAMA2" - the port can vary depending on the Picroft and Raspbian build.
