Unified Software for Probe Testing and, eventually, deployment

[hamishmb]

The relay test works, and the relay also works. However, I think you labelled the switch the wrong way round Penri XD Or maybe I'm being an idiot

I'll bring it back in for you tomorrow morning

I always tried to use Python 3, but often hit problems because some Raspberry Pi Libraries hadn't been ported. I hope things are getting better now.

[hamishmb]

I can't use python 3 for my other projects, because wxPython (the GUI toolkit) doesn't yet support py3

I'm working on a solution to that though now they have a fairly stable alpha release out.

I have now written the basic test for the solid state relay probe, testing now...

Hamish,

Have you completed this? I'm trying to find out the GPIO Pin that you've used for activating the SSR and it appears (from the code in Github) to be 15 (although I'm not sure of what I'm looking at because you seem to be importing a Motor Class in that code). The trouble is that I cannot see if that is GPIO Pin 15 (I think it is by default) or Board Pin 15. Either way, both pins have already been used for the resistance Probe.

Can you clarify, so that can complete my Wiring Schedule?

[hamishmb]

Oh yes, I finished that ages ago, but I forgot to update this thread.

We won't be using that code for the deployment, so the real question is, what pin would you like to use? How about Broadcom pin 8?

Note that all pins throughout the whole project are now broadcom pins

Hamish

[TerryJC]

I thought you said that you were using Broadcom Pin 8 for the Float Switch?

Broadcom Pin 5 looks lonely

[hamishmb]

That's on a different Pi, but sure, let's use 5

[TerryJC]

It may be on a different Pi, but one day, we may want a float switch in the same place as a Levels Probe.
