Running Multiple Monitor Threads for Reading Probes

[hamishmb]

It'd need the device ID (if not already passed, can't remember), but only that - one ManageHallEffectProbe class is needed for each probe, so you'd have 3 classes worrying about one probe each

Now that I have finished the hardware construction and testing (viewtopic.php?p=3076#p3076) I will be testing the updated Software Framework over the coming days. I made a start on this with changes to config.py, coretools.py and devicemanagement.py, but then got a bit bogged down.

Last night at the LUG Meeting Hamish finished the coding and I now need to test it.

Hamish,

Your changes last night seem to have worked extremely well

I haven't tested the system connected to the Sump Pi yet, but running standalone all I had to do was to change the line in devicemanagement.py from:

Code: Select all

        self.ads = ADS.ADS1115(i2c, i2c_address)

to:

Code: Select all

        self.ads = ADS.ADS1115(i2c, address=i2c_address)

and I got readings from all three probes:

I had two of the Float Switch inputs shorted to 0 V and two of the probes had their magnet at the bottom and one at 100 mm. As you can see everything seems to have worked fine.

Once I've completed a system check in conjunction with another Pi set up as SumpPi, I'll be ready to install on site.

Looking really good

Oh I'm glad it worked

You probably want to change the corresponding line in the gate valve class too then.

Excellent work, I'll try and have any outdated documentation updated soon

[TerryJC]

Ok. Will do
