missing changes in wiki / documentation / grott.ini #536

Open typxxi opened 3 months ago

typxxi commented 3 months ago

I guess that at some point in the past the grott.ini had a section called [system]

At least in the 2.8.3. beta I could not find this section anymore in the grott.ini found in the /examples/ directory

But the in wiki the multi inverter setup has still such reference. Therefore I had searched for the [system] section which I could not find.

So might be time to update the wiki where to insert this mapping line or to update the grott.ini and insert such [system] section I guess that would be usefull to keep the structure better understandable

If you have different types of inverters and need different layouts to process the data

add to the[system] section of grott.ini:
invtypemap = {'<serial>': 'default', '<serial>': 'sph', '<serial>': 'default', '<serial>': 'sph'}  

Yes, a boring mistake but I tried to follow the instruction and that did not work out therefore others could save time if the wiki or grott.ini will be updated.

thanks a lot for the great grott solution

I guess it has moved from the [system] section to the [generic] section cause somewhere in a guideline on github here I had found a hint that it belongs now to [generic] but I can not find it again.

I will add this to the wiki when I completed the new version of Grott.

Teaser: in Grott 3.0 this might not be needed any more (it is able of detecting most of the inverter types itself).
