MMM-Arduport trouble

[glorianneef]

Hello! So I am simply trying to run this module and I am just making my arduino code send the number “17” just to test. As you can see, when I run my python code, it receives this message correctly. Below is my config file

 {
            module: "MMM-ArduPort",
            position: "bottom_right",
            header: "MMM-ArduPort",
            config: {
                portname: "/dev/ttyACM0",
                displayIcons: true,
                showDescription: true,
                hideLoading: true,
                hideWaiting: true,
                useColors: true,
                sensors: 
                    {
                        name: "Timer",
                        description: "LPG, Propane, Hydrogen",
                        maxValue: 19,
                        maxFormat: "({0} cm) TOO FAR",
                        highestValue: 30,
                        highestFormat: "({0} cm) FAR",
                        highValue: 15,
                        highFormat: "({0} cm) NORMAL",
                        lowValue: 10,
                        lowFormat: "({0} cm) CLOSE",
                        lowestValue: 5,
                        lowestFormat: "({0} cm) TOO CLOSE",
                        minValue: 0,
                        minFormat: "({0} cm) OK"
                    }
            }
        },

As you can see when I start

npm start dev

I get a plethora of errors in which I have no idea how to fix. Any help would be super appreciated.

Also here is my arduino code (almost exactly like the one supplied by MMM-arduport git page:

volatile int32_t m_counter = 0;
bool WasStarted = false;

static const char *pcMQ2Prefix = "[sensor:Timer:";
static const char *pcPostfix = "]";

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while(!Serial);
  
  Serial.println("[status:setup:starting]");
  
  int test = 1;
  m_counter = test;

  if(test > 1) {
    WasStarted = false;
    Serial.println("[status:setup:failed]");
    return;
  }
  
  delay(3000);
  WasStarted = true;
  Serial.println("[status:setup:started]");
  delay(100);
}

void loop() {
  //Serial.print(pcMQ2Prefix);
  //Serial.print(m_counter);
  //Serial.println(pcPostfix);
Serial.println("[sensor:Timer:19]");
  if(m_counter % 3 == 0) {
    delay(1000);
    delay(2000);
  }

  if(m_counter >= 60) m_counter = 0;
  m_counter++;

  delay(1000);
}

@glorianneef your sensors definition is incorrect

it should be From
https://github.com/Dentrax/MMM-ArduPort

sensors:[
// for each sensor
{
     name:"?????",
     description:"???????",
     ...
     ...
},

...
]

@sdetweil The only difference I see between that and mine is the extra

  [ .....
]

added correct? I added the square brackets and I was still given the same errors

[sdetweil]

@glorianneef ok can u show the errors there and any in the terminal window where u npm start

[sdetweil]

@glorianneef also, there was an error when u ran the python script, to_node not found. did u install all the python dependencies?
