Garbage output on Serial #3

Open jeroenvanpelt opened 8 years ago

jeroenvanpelt commented 8 years ago

Trying to replace a RaspberryPi with ser2net with a NodeMCU module with this sketch to report P1 meter readings.

Connected the P1 Meter as described in the Readme. Compiled and flashed the sketch succesfully. NodeMCU module is connecting to the configured WiFi. On the Serial output I just see blocks of "garbage" data though. They appear every 10s, which indicates it is displaying the telegrams.

No other output on Serial. Any ideas?

Which meter do you have? I have a meter with 8N1 output and it works properly. My parents however have a meter with an 7E1 output, and all I see is garbage.

It has something to do with softwareserial not supporting anything other than 8N1.

Hmm, that might be the reason. For my (working) ser2net RaspberryPi setup I have to use this in the config to make things work: 10002:telnet:600:/dev/ttyUSB0:9600 7DATABITS EVEN 1STOPBIT banner

7E1 indeed...

I found this sevene1serial.h file here: https://gist.github.com/narrowtux/4e8213db2b817fdfe863

Not sure how to add this to mix to test it out.

If you did not figure it out: buffer[i] = input_char&127;
