From what I understand I'd have to add a control to the website to reset the Mega2560 to place it in firmware upload mode. I suspect that would be easy.

I was also looking at the WifIOTA and ArduinoOTA, it also mentions the ariadne-bootloader. I will take a look at it, just wondering if that would be an option in the future. Thanks Nino

In the usual way. A PC attached to the Mega2560 USB connection. There are TFTP bootloaders for the Mega2560. I guess one could use that across IP (VPN, etc.) to flash the Mega2560 but I haven't gone

We are due for some cold weather this week, so I wanted to see how the setup will work. I still have to add the sensors but wanted to test out the main boards. I also worked on the relay outlets, I

abs() is needed only since current is actually negative, reverse the leads and the value would be positive. Still we aren't interested in that for this application so I'll add abs to the code. As for

Howard, There's something new with this change in the function using "return abs(A);" Also i moved from pin A10 to A7, i had doubt on this A10 pin which seems out or badly soldered. Now when i

...2.588 to 2.618 let call it 2.6V Code goes like this... #define STAT_DC_CURRENT_ANALOG A10 The analogRead(A10) returns a value 0 to 1023 which equals 0 to 5V so d is about 532. #define

yes i've already set this statement like that. Never mind ! i'll try to test the component on a bench with a simple sketch and if something appears interesting i'll try to report it to you Thank

Ok, and if that's using... #define STAT_DC_CURRENT_ANALOG A10 I'm out of ideas.

Howard, I checked the analogic pin and the output it correctly wired on the A10 pin directly on the mega. I tested with a multimeter the ACS712 output, i can read 2.588 to 2.618 volts whereas the

Ok i'll do that, testing the output with a multimeter will be very instructive. Thanks Koal01

Confirm the correct Mega2560 Analog input is connected. Again, don't use one of the protected inputs on the OCS PCB use an spare Analog input right on the Mega2560. Not much in that code to go wrong

Thank you Howard for having implemented this feature. So i updated OCS to 2.0 h yesterday and wired the ACS712 output to the A10 pin of the Mega. Following examples in the web the ACS module is

I purchased the items on your list(Stellar Journey) from ali express, they started arriving last thursday, I had some bme280's sitting around so I had used those for the outside sensor. The bmp180

Looking at that again it won't work, those are just conversion functions so... I've expanded the range of allowed Analog ports into the Config.h settings and added the following code to an Misc.ino

Just wire in the device per the examples on the internet. The ACS712 seems to have isolation so just wire it right into an unused Mega2560 analog input. The following code should do the trick (add to

I think what you would want to do is perhaps use relay 7 to press the garage door opener button. #define ROR_OPEN_CLOSE_MOMENTARY 7 // OFF, n. Where n=1..14 (Relay#) A momentary switch

Yes, that's the kind of thing those functions are for. The BMP180 is temperature and pressure only though so I guess you intend to use a BME280?

Since I don't use a warm room, I would still like to monitor the temp & humidity inside the observatory. Reason for this is to set the exhaust fan to kick in at certain temp or humidity range. Could I

Correct. Thanks
