MMM-GroveGestures / Python script is terminated
-
@MagicStarthilfe
how often did it happen? always? randomly?
When did it happen usually? soon after start? in some minutes or hours? -
too fast or too slow i2c speed could make this kind issue.
try to adjust speed to 10000 - 32000 (default might be 100000 I remembered)https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2018/02/change-raspberry-pi-i2c-bus-speed/

@Sean
Thanks for the quick answer.
Last night it started correctly for once. That was after several restarts, no idea why it suddenly worked. Then I let the system run overnight, that was no problem.
I rebooted it earlier for a test. The error did not occur then, but the module does not react now. Therefore all modules are on the first page (use MMM-GroveGestures for the page change together with MMM-pages, MMM-page-indicator and MMM notification trigger which worked otherwise). Even a restart does not help at the moment. I have increased the speed of i2c.
python gesture_print.py works.
All modules seem to be loaded correctly. (see MagicMirror-out.log
below)
Is it maybe more a problem of MMM-pages?
Today I will test the system without MMM-pages and only with the clock, if MMM-GroveGestures works I will start the other modules bit by bit. Maybe I can identify a module that causes problems.[11:32:16.198] [LOG] Starting MagicMirror: v2.10.1 [11:32:16.215] [LOG] Loading config ... [11:32:16.234] [LOG] Loading module helpers ...

@MagicStarthilfe
I don’t know whether MMM-Pages would be reason or not at this moment. Your last log seems so quite normal anyway (or saying nothing important really. :D)
If you are using MMM-Pages, keep this kind of module is valid on each page. I think it’s better to keep it globally out of those kinds of suspending/resuming control. -
@Sean Hello,
the error " Python script is terminated" I could actually fix by adjusting the i2c speed. Thanks for the tip.
The subsequent errors were caused by the NOAA module.
Thanks for the help. -
Hi @MagicStarthilfe I have the same problem as you:

Do you remeber wich “i2c” speed you have used for fix the problem?
Thanks.

@Egnos
Try 10000 or 32000. -
@Egnos
However the “terminated” message itself is nothing wrong.
“Too often without any gesture triggered” cases only be the issue. -
@MMRIZE said in MMM-GroveGestures / Python script is terminated:
Try 10000 or 32000.
I think I tried 10000 and nothing changed, I’ll try 32000

@Egnos
By spec, PAJ7620’s MAX i2c speed is 400Kbit/s (400,000) But sometimes Raspberry PI i2c cannot handle fast devices.Have you tried testing the sensor?
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GroveGestures/py python gesture_print.pyAnd there could be other possible causes;
- Pins are not stably connected
- Too long cabling, > 30cm. The signal would be weaker or noisy.
- I2C frequency is still too high. Set slower (lesser number than your trials)
- I2C Bus overloaded, if you are connecting other i2c connections. (maybe more than 3 or 4s)

Yes, and also when appear

I exclude it.

It will surely be longer, 40 or 50 cm
@MMRIZE said in MMM-GroveGestures / Python script is terminated:
I2C frequency is still too high. Set slower (lesser number than your trials)
I tried all speeds, maybe with 32000 seems better.
From this value (32000) do I go down or up?@MMRIZE said in MMM-GroveGestures / Python script is terminated:
I2C Bus overloaded, if you are connecting other i2c connections. (maybe more than 3 or 4s)
I exclude it. I have only Paj7620 and PIR sensor on GPIO…I’m sure with the old version v2.23 of MM I always had the error messages but the gesture sensor always worked, with the new version v2.24.0 of MM sometimes the sensor stops working and I have to redo this procedure

Too long cabling, > 30cm. The signal would be weaker or noisy.
It will surely be longer, 40 or 50 cm
Hopefully not, over 30cm long cabling could be the issue. (You wrote 40~50cm, is it right?)
-
@MMRIZE Yes, from the GPIO to the sensor there will be about 40/45 cm…
-
@Egnos
40~45cm seems somewhat too long. Could you build it shorter? or use a lower frequency than usual case.
Ref. these; -
@MMRIZE The path of the sensor cables (Yellow, red, white and black) is this:
Maybe I could shorten the wires a bit…
Thanks for the links.

@Egnos Maybe Sparkfun Midpoint and Endpoint to give you ample length. They tout over 100’ with those devices.

Endpoint
Hi @ankonaskiff17, wich one of these?

@Egnos
There are several “I2C Extenders” (Or “Active Terminator”)I haven’t tried this kind of thing, but it is worth researching.
-
@Egnos You want what is called a Midpoint which is

Also need an Endpoint which is this
I whipped this together in double quick time so pardon the lack of tidiness.
For reference sake I focused on a couple of BME688’s to give you sort of a benchmark.
First is screenshot showing both BME’s running. Had to do jumper on one to get a second address 0x76 and 0x77
