Support for BME sensor #21

Closed iw2ejh closed 10 months ago

iw2ejh commented 11 months ago

Do we have BME sensor support on the tracker as we have in the iGate? Eventually could we have it? thanks iw2ejh

richonguzman commented 11 months ago

hi, yes we could, give me a few days, if it hasn't been done, let me know as this is good idea. but I'm finishing right now a few ideas before

richonguzman commented 10 months ago

please test now the firmware 2023.08.26 as it hast BME support for showing data on screen.... with this validated I will look for a way to send data also to APRS to have telemetry

ON2ON-HAM commented 10 months ago

Testing 08.26 at this moment, works great, BME data is on the oled, alternating nicely with other data. So no comments/remarks at all ! Waiting for the Aprs/wx updater ;)

Take care ON2ON-7

Waiting for the Aprs/wx updater ??? please explain

you need the data sanded as telemetry from tracker?

ON2ON-HAM commented 10 months ago

Hi, It would be nice to have the WX data send to Aprs, like in the Igate. As I understand it , now the WX data is only on the local Oled of the tracker. So the Tracker can behave like a CWOP node and tracker at the same time.

20230829_174600a The reading is correct and appear in the display I suspect that when the display is configured run in ecomode and shutdown, the BME is not working (I do not know how the ecomode is triggered, but sensor and display share the same pins) Also would it be possible to add an offset for the pressure value so we can correct it based on the altitude of the wx station? Thanks

Correction to my previous post, the value from BME is working even with the display set in ecomode, probably anothe glitch caused this behavior during tests. I flashed again the filesystem with various settings and now the values for temp, humidity and pressure apear correctly on the display even if it shutdown and up again.
