Bug fixes

  1. Fix problem with config.pl taking a long time to load
  2. Fix problem with data on charts not aligning properly.

Features

  1. Add support for BME680
  2. Add support for DS18B20
  3. Increase resolution of the weight from xxx.xx to xxx.xxx

Install gnuplot

sudo apt-get install gnuplot


add -r Retries option to driver wrappers

The maximum number of retries to read a sensor before giving up can be specified.

The shell script wrappers around the sensor drivers (dht22.sh, hx711.sh, hx711py.sh, etc) now accept a -r retries command line argument.

#
# Get the command line options (which device/GPIO pin to read), maximum number of times to try reading the sensor
#
while getopts "d:r:" option
do
        case "${option}"
        in
                d) DEVICE=${OPTARG};;
                r) MAXRETRIES=${OPTARG};;
        esac
done 

#
# If max number of retires not specified, default to 10
#
if [ -z $MAXRETRIES ]
then
  MAXRETRIES=10
fi 

#echo "DEVICE = $DEVICE"
#echo "MAXRETRIES = $MAXRETRIES"
#
# Loop up to MAXRETRIES times trying to read the sensor
#

DATA_GOOD=0
COUNTER=0
while [ $COUNTER -lt $MAXRETRIES ] && [ $DATA_GOOD -eq 0 ]
do



In config.pl, the -r1 option is added to the command line when the driver is called:


  if ( $hive_weight_sensor eq "cpw200plus" ) {
           $raw_hive_weight=`/usr/bin/sudo /home/hivetool/cpw200plus.sh -r1 -d $hive_weight_device`;
       }
  elsif ( $hive_weight_sensor eq "HX711") {
      $raw_hive_weight=`/usr/bin/sudo /home/hivetool/hx711.sh -r1 2>&1`;
       }
   elsif ( $hive_weight_sensor eq "HX711py") {
      $raw_hive_weight=`/usr/bin/sudo /home/hivetool/hx711py.sh -r1 2>&1`;
       }


                      ....
