Debugging new serial setup

[cheitzig]

Hi,

I'm new to infinitude, but not new to Unix/linux, shell scripts, etc. I'm not deeply familiar with Perl, and am having trouble getting data to show-up in my infinitude site.

Here's what I have and what I've done:

• Raspberry Pi 3 running just fine, connected to network, etc.
• rs485 USB adapter installed and loading at /dev/ttyUSB0
• A/B wires connected using Cat 6 cable from ports A/B to RS485 adapter
• Infinitude installed and runs properly (e.g., base website seems to render)
• Compiled cardump and seem to be getting frames (see attached)

Would appreciate any thoughts on being able to see / display status?

A little bit more info: I got infinitive running just fine, so maybe it's something with the infinitude configuration on Bryant Evolution?

Hi. It looks like cardump proves your physical serial interface is working properly. Since you say you got Infinitive working, does that mean you have a non-touch thermostat? Infinitude is designed to replace the public webservice for internet-connected touch thermostats, while Infinitive is designed to connect non-internet-connected thermostats to the internet. However, the serial monitor in Infinitude should work to view serial traffic regardless, if things are properly configured. The main thing that I notice about the screenshot above is that you don't appear to have all of the css/js loading (which would definitely cause failure to connect to Infinitude's websocket).

Here is what yours should roughly look like when operating in production mode:

I have a few features not-yet-in-the-repository visible in that screenshot, but you should see the tabs/colors/etc if everything is working.

How are you starting up Infinitude? Are there any errors visible?

I re-installed infinitude tonight, although I'm not sure if that was required. I also realized that I was probably running it incorrectly, so I fixed that too. Now, it's at least showing information on the status screen. I was actually seeing the CSS version of the webpage before; I think that potentially what fixed things was running cardump, which, based on another post I saw, resets the serial adapter.

What I'm seeing on the home screen is very similar to what issue #45 is showing, which, based on your response to that issue, is roughly what I should be seeing.

So I think I can close this issue. Infinitive does what I need it to do, although I found infinitude first, so thanks for creating this software!
