Z-Uno and debuging?

[Ispep]

Hello

I just got access to a Z-Uno and have uploaded an example sketch to verify blink (worked OK) but when I tried the (http://z-uno.z-wave.me/examples/SimpleSwitch/) It won´t start the led on my board when sending commands from Vera with UI7. I excluded and reincluded the device but it still not able to enable the led on pin 13.

I tried to add the default Serial.begin but got this error:
SimpelSwitch:13: error: too many parameters
too many parameters

Is it possible to add serial debug information from it to know what information I’m processing in my code later?
I have not been able to test in on my Z-stick or telldus Znet lite
regards Ispep

Hi,

please attach the full sketch, so that it could be checked.
And please add information what firmware you are running (like 0.6.2)

Best regards

Hi

same for me. How can we check data we are processing. I use a Grove light sensor and I would like to check if it works with Certified 10 Channels Sketch

Thanks

Hi,

you can insert a simple Serial.println and check on debug window.

If you need help - send me your sketch via PM -I will insert it for you.
You can see then every value before sending.

Or do you want to debug something else?

thanks for the reply... yes I just want to check the value from the sensor (to konow if it is compatible first and if I get date from it)... So I add the command but now I have an other issue.. I can't upload the sketch. Everything seems to be ok for the port, I selected it but it is written "Disable on COM5" on the IDE...

My port is not stable, I have to wake up the zuno to get it when it disappear... any idea why

thanks

So I added following code within Certified 10 Channels Sketch. When I open the console from arduino IDE, I don't have anything !!!

// Luminosity
Serial.println("valeur: ");
Serial.println(analogRead(LumiPin));
currentLumiValue = (byte)(100 - analogRead(LumiPin)*25/256);
if ((currentLumiValue > (lastLumiValue + 5)) || (currentLumiValue < (lastLumiValue - 5))) {
lastLumiValue = currentLumiValue;
zunoSendReport(8);
}

Hi,

I think you are using Arduino 1.6.5 - as far as I know it is the latest stable version for Z-Uno.

1) please use latest firmware, update to 2.05 (latest C++ release candidate)
-> remove stable URL in Arduino IDE settings and put this instead:
http://z-uno.z-wave.me/files/z-uno/test ... index.json

in older versions not all features implemented

2) add in
void setup() {
....
Serial.begin();
}

Then you can check the debug output.

HINT:
Before uploading new sketch close the serial output window.
In other case the COM port may be not available more after uploading new sketch.
If this happen ("lost " COM), close the windows, press reset button on Z-Uno, check on Arduino the Port and reopen the window.

It's a good idea to add any delay into the loop using the Serial.print.

Additional - my experience is to comment out at first any "zunoSendReport()" before values are stable.
So you can check all the process before

I hope it helps.

Thanks a lot for all these informations. Hope it will works. You'are right for all my versions
I spent 3 hours yesterday with port issues. Very frustrating
I will follow your recommendations this week end and will inform you about the result...

Very good news, everything is working fine now.. I installed again arduino IDE to be sure USB drivers were well installed

Then I upgrade to 2.05. I was in 0.67 !!! I understood available and proposed versions depend on the url you suggested, right ?
The serial output window is fine too, I can see values from my sensor.

I have a HC2 from fibaro so I have my device for luminance. I just have to understand why value is not always updated when it changes. I used certified code from ZUNO so when % of luminance change from 5%, I should send a report to the controller. The command is executed (I put a serial.print for checking). Maybe the controller is not able to receive too many requests from the board. Do you use a delay after sending report on each channel ?

Thanks

As mentioned in the reference of zuneSendReport(), it is not allowed to send reports more often than every 30 seconds. This is Z-Wave Plus restriction. We think about making a config param to bypass this limitation to allow people more intuitive and reactive reports.
