Any idea whats wrong here?

Aqualink is not getting anything from the RS458 adapter. Take a look at the wiki, specificity the section about testing the connection. Section “USB Device on RaspberryPi / Linux computer” should help.

bryangauvin commented 5 years ago

I have looked at that section.

Here is what I get. When I run this command, nothing returns if I am in Auto mode on the pump. However if in service mode it spews out the random characters. Any idea?

sudo -s eval 'stty raw -echo < /dev/ttyUSB0; cat -vte /dev/ttyUSB0'

sfeakes commented 5 years ago

Do you have a Jandy RS control panel connected to the RS485 bus, or is it just a pump? AqualinkD communicates with a control panel, so you should see junk using that command all the time (as long as the RS control panel is powered up). A box like this.

bryangauvin commented 5 years ago

Yes, I have that exact setup. I have an RS8 My iAqualink although showing online was not controlling anything which is why I started this project.

From what you're saying I'm now thinking the controller may have gone bad. Do you concur?

bryangauvin commented 5 years ago

OK, so I just turned on the filter pump & heater manually in service mode & the software is reporting them on. So its getting readings, just not on auto mode

bryangauvin commented 5 years ago

Ordered an new PCB, replaced it. Same issue. Aualinkd shows the status of devices when running in service mode (IE: reports pump running, spa mode, ect...) However in auto mode nothing. Any idea what could be causing this @zsblevins @sfeakes

sfeakes commented 5 years ago

I'm at a complete loss on this one. I've never seen anything quite like it. If I understand this, in auto mode you get nothing on the RS485 bus and in service mode, you get the correct information. (of course in service mode you can't control anything, only read information, so you can t keep it in service mode) When you changed the board, did you also change the chip, or did you keep the original chip? You can flash firmware to that chip, I wonder if for some reason it's corrupt in some way, but that would only explain it if you kept the same chip while swapping the boards.

bryangauvin commented 5 years ago

I have tried both a new chip and the existing chip with the same results.

I've asked the question on the trouble-free pool forum as well since this is clearly not your software, but something hardware related.

I also have a scheduled appointment with a repair company on Tuesday. Hate to pay for that crap, but I'm at a loss here. I'll report back if either figures it out so you know in case someone else runs into the issue.

sfeakes commented 5 years ago

Do you have a keypad (or something that's powered from the RS485 bus) connected? iAqualink has it's own power I believe. I'm wondering if you loose power and data to the RS485 bus or if it's just the data that goes when you're in normal (not service) mode.

Other thing to try is "time out" mode, that should put it in "service mode" for 3 hours, then revert back to "Automatic mode", so see what happens in 3.5 hours time after you set "time out" mode.

bryangauvin commented 5 years ago

I have no keypad. iaqualink gets its power from the PCB. Trying the timeout mode today

Ok, so Pool guy just left. No resolution yet, however, the issue appears to be with the drive on the pump creating interference in the signal. Hes going back to the shop to ask the other techs if they have ever seen this or how to fix. Nothing to do with your software. In fact, If I unplug the 4 pin to the pump your software works fine. UGH, FML.

sfeakes commented 5 years ago

Glad you have at lease tracked it down. I bet there is a short in the RS bus circuit of the pump. Look up the pump parts list and see if you can buy / replace the control circuit. Or just bypass that circuit all together and run it from the control panel power relays.
