ERROR:opc:Could not parse the fimrware version from Traceback (most recent call last):

[tomasfichetti]

Hello! I'm having problems with opc-n2. I already check the cables and the power. I also update the library.

This is my program:

import spidev
import opc
from time import sleep

spi = spidev.SpiDev()
spi.open(0, 0)
spi.mode = 1
spi.max_speed_hz = 500000

alphasense = opc.OPCN2(spi)

Turn the opc ON

alphasense.on()

sleep(1)

Read the information string

print (alphasense.read_info_string())

# Read the histogram
print (alphasense.histogram())

# Turn the opc OFF
alphasense.off()

The return is:

                            increase the max_cnxn_retries variable if you feel the serial communication is being held up for some reason.

Hi @tomasfichetti Is this still an issue? Sorry for the long delay here...

Hello, Getting the same issue. Can you help me out.. I am using OPC-R1.

Hi @dwitam can you post the code you're using? There currently isn't support for the OPC-R1 or OPC-N3 in the master branch as they're completely different. There is a development branch that supports (hopefully) these sensors, but it hasn't been tested.

`import spidev import opc import time

? Open a SPI connection on CE0

spi = spidev.SpiDev() spi.open(0,0)

? set the SPI Mode and clock speed

spi.mode=1 spi.max_speed_hz= 500000

try: alpha=opc.OPCR1(spi)

except Exception as e: print(e)

alpha.on() time.sleep(1)

print("<---------Reading Firmware version-------------->") print(alpha.read_firmware())

print("Read info string") print(alpha.read_info_string())

print("Read serial number") print(alpha.sn())

print("Read Histogram") print(alpha.histogram())

time.sleep(10)

print("Read PM") print(alpha.pm()) print("Pinging From RPI") print(alpha.ping())

time.sleep(10)

Turn the device off

alpha.off() `
