Hello,
I am starting to build mine first camper. And want to use a Raspberry with the raspberry display and running the Venus OS.
Have enabled the ADC (MCP3208) and this is showing on the screen..
But is shows tree tanks and I am going to use only two tanks in mine camper..
Can I disable or remove one from the screen?? And if so... How??
BEst regards,
Jody
Hi @Jody_Burow,
you may want to look into Settings and I/O, Analog Inputs and then try to disable the inputs you don't want to see.
In de settings I/O Analog inputs there is nothing listed...
In the digital inputs I can select Inputs.
But in the analog part there is nothing... but on the "main"-screen are the analog inputs visible..
Must I do a step extra to let them show up there???
Best ragrds,
Jody
Well, not an extra step but it seems you have the mechanics 'wired' correctly just not told the software yet. When you do you can indeed switch off/on ports via the gui. From experience it will be next to impossible though to troubleshoot what went wrong without going through all your setup steps in great detail.
In fact, it may well be easier to start from scratch again, sorry.
Hi Jeroen,
No problem to start again... that's easy peasy.. but is there a image for the Raspberry Pi that has all the steps included? If I go through al mine steps again I problaby make the same mistake again..
Best regards,
Jody
Perhaps.... Try to follow this one and see if you missed any step:
https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/59971/some-help-with-venusos-v258-dbus-adc-in-relation-t.html
I think @LaurenceH wrote a script to automate the setup. The full thread is here: https://community.victronenergy.com/content/kbentry/43646/how-to-quickly-update-rpi-touch-screen-configurati.html
sure, but in my view it is harder to figure out what step is missed when you run a script instead of going through the steps one-by-one. In any case, I'm sure a solution will be found ;-) Took me quite some time too until I figured it all out but is is running ever since.
maybe a bolt question...
but if you got it working with a Raspberry PI3..... is it possible to make a image file of it??
The last thing I want right now is to enable/disable mine ADC inputs..
I agree that searching which step I missed (or did wrong) then starting over..
I have used the script form Laurence.. but that did not helped me
Best Regards,
Jody
No problem, will need to get the card from the van though so will not be in the next 5 minutes. Later this evening ok?
One thing to check/confirm: Do you have the dbus-adc.conf file in /etc/venus?
Does it look like this (below)? Just double-check there is a line-feed character at the end of the file.
device iio:device0
vref 1.8
scale 4095
tank 4
tank 6
tank 2
temp 5
temp 3
And be sure the permissions are set to 755. Reboot to apply the changes.
(Both these caught me out initially).
Cheers
Phil
Yes I did.... but stil no analog inputs..
Have installed the Image from Jeroen and now everything is there!!!!
