Wireless SkyCam and AQI

1) Manual needs to be updated. We will update the B-WS tabs. I'll look in the code to see what is going on.

DO this to see what is going on in the 433MHz network:

Shutdown SkyWeather2

sudo python3 testWirelessSensors.py

And look for AQI packages. About every 15 minutes, or right away if you turn the power off and on on the Solar AQI. Keep them 3m apart during the test.

To test the camera, make sure SkyWeather2 is shutdown and then:

sudo python3 testSkyCamRemote.py

Post the appropriate results and I'll take a look!

Here's what I get from testWirelessSenors:

i@SwitchDocLabs:~/SDL_Pi_SkyWeather2 $ sudo python3 testWirelessSensors.py

Consider using "-M newmodel" to transition to new model keys. This will become the default someday.

I never see the AQI. I also tried to turn it off and on to get it to send.

I can't get a video to load. But, when I turn on the AQI I get:
The blue LED lights steady
The yellow LED near the 433 board blinks once, then it blinks 4 times.
The radio is seated solidly.

Here you go:

I do not. The lightning detector is in a sealed box.....

SUre. I'll send you one with your SkyCam module I'll reprogram.

see other posting.

The current version of software doesn't support both wired AQI and Solar AQI. One or the other.

Needs to be fixed in an update, as a number of customers want to read indoor and outdoor AQI.

Pagerman, we sent you a new SKyCam and a couple of 433MHz transmitters. Can you tell us what you did with them and did the problems get fixed?
