his sketch and module data don’t match.

u have to change some code

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: "({0}) ".format is MMM-ArduPort.js:143 
not a function

help someone, I’ve been trying to run it for a long time !!!

looks at the MMM-Arduino module, it shows debugging info on the developers window

ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the tab labeled ‘console’

you can filter out other modules messages by putting part of the module name in the filter field

ardu

also, have to set developerMode:true in the module config.js section

		    if (self.config.developerMode) {
			      var date = new Date();
			      var time = date.getHours() + ":" + date.getMinutes() + ":" + date.getSeconds();
			      message = self.name + ": (" + self.data.index + ")(" + time + ") " + message;
		    } else { message = self.name + ": " + message; }
		    switch (type) {
			  case "error": Log.error(this.logPrefix + message); break;
			  case "warn": Log.warn(this.logPrefix + message); break;
			  case "info": Log.info(this.logPrefix + message); break;
			  case "dev": if (self.config.developerMode) { Log.log(this.logPrefix + message); } break;
			  default: Log.log(this.logPrefix + message);
		    }

@Kereknjek said in MMM-ArduPort:

Now, when running

python arduport.py

I get this:

{"debug": "SerialPort shell started..."}
{"debug": "Waiting Ardunio to connect on port..."}
{"status": {"data": "connected", "name": "connect"}}
{"status": {"data": "starting", "name": "setup"}}
{"status": {"data": "started", "name": "setup"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "0.02", "name": "Baterija"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "-0.00", "name": "Struja"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "0.00", "name": "Solarno"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "-0.12", "name": "Panel"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "-0.00", "name": "Inverter"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "0.04", "name": "Baterija"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "-0.00", "name": "Struja"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "0.00", "name": "Solarno"}}

How do I do that?

on the pi, ctrl-alt-t, will open a terminal window, you can also ssh into the pi

then execute the command that the module would use

python .......  whatever

I see u dropped this path, but for other…

I have reinstaled Python and Python3, npm, python-shell and node js. Nothing worked. It was sending errors even with blank arduino, arduino sending only “starting” and “started” commands…
So, due to my lack of knowlege of Python or anything else surrounding ArduPort, I’m abandoning it…

To bad. It is very elagant module.

MMM-ArduPort.js:286 [MMM-ArduPort]:: MMM-ArduPort: error
MMM-ArduPort.js:286 [MMM-ArduPort]:: MMM-ArduPort: “pyshell-throw”
MMM-ArduPort.js:123 [socketNotificationReceived::error]:

yes, according to the code, this notifies the module that the python script running in the background ended, unexpectedly.

I would try running it from the commandshell in the foreground without the MM and see what is going on

I didn’t mention it before, but I’m running MM on Raspbian lite.
I’ve found I had problems with python. Force reinstalling modules solved it.

I have allso found some errors in arduino.py,
Had to change:

rgxData = re.compile("[\[][a-zA-Z0-9-].*[\:][a-zA-Z0-9-].*[\:][a-zA-Z0-9-.].*[\]]")

to

rgxData = re.compile("[\[][a-zA-Z0-9\-].*[\:][a-zA-Z0-9\-].*[\:][a-zA-Z0-9\-\.].*[\]]")

and

incoming = self.arduino.readline(self.arduino.in_waiting).decode('ascii').replace('\r', '').replace('\n', '')

to

incoming = self.arduino.readline(self.arduino.in_waiting).decode('ascii', errors="ignore").replace('\r', '').replace('\n', '')

Now, when running

python arduport.py

I get this:

{"debug": "SerialPort shell started..."}
{"debug": "Waiting Ardunio to connect on port..."}
{"status": {"data": "connected", "name": "connect"}}
{"status": {"data": "starting", "name": "setup"}}
{"status": {"data": "started", "name": "setup"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "0.02", "name": "Baterija"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "-0.00", "name": "Struja"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "0.00", "name": "Solarno"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "-0.12", "name": "Panel"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "-0.00", "name": "Inverter"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "0.04", "name": "Baterija"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "-0.00", "name": "Struja"}}
{"sensor": {"data": "0.00", "name": "Solarno"}}

I’m guesing, this should be working now. But ArduPort is still stuck at “Waiting for connection…”
