Clearer Instruction #71
Comments

So clearer instructions on how to setup the hardware?
What hardware do you have? Do you have their interface board or just random sensors.
Are you looking for information on how to build a scale?

What you've been working on here is AWESOME! I'm hoping that you or someone might be able to provide a bit more of a detailed instruction set. I know much of your work relies on HiveTool, and honestly, their website and info is TOUGH to navigate if you're a semi-novice and much of it seems out of date. I'm a beekeeper first and like tinkering with the electronics of it, but some clearer instructions about how to setup their interface board with GPIO settings and such would be awesome. Even if you threw out some things to try! I think we'd get more beekeepers trying some of these pi sensors and such. Anyway, thanks for the work you're doing!!

Ryan, thanks so much for the quick reply! I have their interface board and the DHT22, LUX, and load cells that came with it. I feel confident about my ability to setup the hardware, but am struggling with the configurations in the software, like the GPIO pins and other settings for the DHT22, the lux sensor seems to be working. Took me a while to figure out how to get to http://127.0.0.1/admin/ ! I know... I'm definitely at the novice level!!! |

Alright, I’ll work on some basic instructions for their board.
This one page at Hivetool is useful
http://wiki.hivetool.org/Hardware:_Hive_Interface_Board_1.0 <http://wiki.hivetool.org/Hardware:_Hive_Interface_Board_1.0>
I believe the GPO for the DHT22 is either going to be 2 or 3.
I would set it to 2, then hit the read sensor button in the instrument config page, if you get a value, then you got the right value.
If no value, select 3.

Hey! 3 Worked! Little things like that I just couldn't quite figure out from the instructions that you posted (which were the only ones I could find.) Thank you so much for your quick response. That was really helpful and much appreciated!! |

Got it, after awhile we do take things for granted. I’ll work on flushing out the wiki some more.
Like all developers, some times the documentation is a little lacking.

Thanks so much! I'm also happy to help if I can. As someone who isn't a programmer I could help with instructions or feedback (I can completely understand how explaining your work to basic users wouldn't be the most fun part of the project!) I really do appreciate your quick response though and hope you are well. |
