Inactive Wireless Device Jan 5, 2022 11:42:40 GMT -8

Hi,

I bought a SwitchDoc SDCard, and am in the setup process. I ran

sudo python3 testSGSSystem.py

and it worked as expected; I received the expected output in console, and the OLED board cycled through the IP Address info + Sensors.

I ran Run SGSConfigure.py per the setup instructions and everything looked correct.

However, when I start the SGS2 system via sudo python3 SGS2.py I get the following output stating that my wireless device is inactive. I can't seem to understand/find what the issue is.

pi@SwitchDocLabs:~/SDL_Pi_SmartGardenSystem2 $ sudo python3 SGS2.py
mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1:ENOMEM)

Might do: trace route 10.0.0.48 and post the results. Make sure you have the latest version of the SGS software too. BP

Alright so I realized that the IP address in SGSConfigure GUI was pointing to an old address (10.0.0.48). The testSGSSystem.py file was pointing to the correct IP (10.0.0.32).

I re-ran sudo python3 SGSConfigure.py and scanned for the new IP address, and it updated correctly. However, now when I run sudo python3 testSGSSystem.py I get an error:

The wireless extender OLED screen now just says 'Smart Garden' and nothing else (before it would cycled through the IP Address info + Sensors).

That would help to find out what is going on. Baud rate is 115200 BP

Then set the baud rate to 115200 and see your data. BP

Yes I understand the first part. Any chance you can go into a little more detail on the second part--"Then set the baud rate to 115200 and see your data." I don't know how to do this and can't seem to get the right results from searching around the internet.

Install the Arudino IDE and use the serial console in that program. Great tutorials on Arduino.cc

In thinking about your problem, I would remove your *.JSON file and reset the Wireless Extender back to defaults (hold the AUX button down for 30 seconds as you push and release the Reset button).

Something is screwed up on the network interface.
