Auto-Disable RS485 Output Board #22

Open mattreba opened 9 years ago

mattreba commented 9 years ago

If an RS485 Output board is configured incorrectly or is not responding the system will periodically lag waiting for the board to timeout. It would be useful to detect a timeout and put the board into an offline mode. While in offline mode the BrewTroller would not attempt to update the board again. Finally, the UI needs a way to know that a board went offline so the user can be notified.

If board malfunction is not a significant issue but configuration issues are more of a concern the RS485 Output board configuration menu could check the settings before allowing them to be saved. This would apply more for manually configured boards as the Auto Address logic already handles a "board not found" scenario.

Perhaps as part of the menu refactor it would be nice to implement a simple/clean way to provide alerts to the user. As there are a few scenarios it would be useful to provide alerts. Displayed until encoder click?

I had exactly the same thought.
