Change relay ID issue "_1=" #90

Closed younisamedi closed 2 years ago

younisamedi commented 2 years ago

Hello, I attempted changing the relay ID of my board and now I no longer see any ID names. It completely removed the name and when I try to list the relays with "sudo usbrelay" I only see:

_1=0 _2=0 _3=0 _4=0 _5=0 _6=0 _7=0 _8=0

I can't turn them on/off without the name. Before the change, it listed as: HW554_1=0

#################################

The command I used to change the name:

sudo usbrelay HW554=PLUG0

See the change result:

Device Found type: 16c0 05df path: /dev/hidraw3 serial_number: Manufacturer: www.dcttech.com Product: USBRelay8 Release: 100 Interface: 0 Number of Relays = 8 _1=0 _2=0 _3=0 _4=0 _5=0 _6=0 _7=0 _8=0

#################################

I have also tried this but didn't work:

command:

usbrelay /dev/hidraw3_0=JJII3

output:

buffer overflow detected : terminated Aborted

#################################

I tried this on two different boards (both 8 relays), but still no luck. I hope to find a fix for this. Please let me know if I need to provide more details. Any advise will be highly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Update: fixed

I originally installed the "usbrelay" from the a Debian 11 repo.

I removed usbrelay, and downloaded the latest version of usbrelay and compiled it from the source code.

Issue:

sudo usbrelay

_1=0 _2=0 _3=0 _4=0 _5=0 _6=0 _7=0 _8=0

This is how I fixed it:

sudo usbrelay = # E.g: sudo usbrelay =PLUG1

PLUG1_1=0 PLUG1_2=0 PLUG1_3=0 PLUG1_4=0 PLUG1_5=0 PLUG1_6=0 PLUG1_7=0 PLUG1_8=0

I think the ID name has to be 5 or more characters, don't give it a short name.

Hope this helps.

The US relay package in debian is ancient. It does not support some of the features you have used. Please build it from source from the GitHub repository. There is work happening to get the debian packages updated.
