Cayenne Dashboard Lag

Community Help With My Project Helped
1

Hello,

I’m returning back at my project ( automatic greenhouse ), and i have some issue:

  1. I have a china module(4) with 5v relays and sometimes aprox. 70% my buttons get stuck and remain on off or on, i have to restart board and refresh dashboard, that can be a wrong code or it’s a server issue ( lag )? i tested a local and don’t have that problem
  2. I use a BMP180 module and: temperature work and stay ok, but my pressure went from read value to 0 and so on.

I’m running Mega 2560 + ESP8266

2

can you share the code?

that code is quite big. can you do one change and try. Dont initialise or use virtual channel as V1. Just replace them as 1. Give it a try and let me know. if not just group all virtual channel used for channel and share the code again.

5

Also, dont do this in the CAYENNE_IN function. You should try and avoid using delay in the code but there is no other way to control a stepper motor i know. Move the stepper code from here into the main loop and use an extra variable to run it only once.

CAYENNE_IN(20)
{
  int x = getValue.asInt();
  if (x == 1) {
    digitalWrite(enablePin, LOW);
    digitalWrite(dirPin, LOW);
    for (int x = 1; x < 4000; x++) {
      digitalWrite(stepPin, HIGH);
      delayMicroseconds(1000);
      digitalWrite(stepPin, LOW);
      delayMicroseconds(1000);
    }
    digitalWrite(enablePin, HIGH);
  }
}
6

why are you reading data at interval inside the CAYENNE_OUT() function? this function runs every 15 seconds and is publishing data. Better will be just put the code in main loop and send the data from. there like this:

void loop()
{
  Cayenne.loop();

  if ((millis() - read1) > pause)
  {
    digitalWrite(sensorpowersupply1, HIGH);
    delay(1000);
    dataread1 = analogRead(sensorpin1);
    moisturepercent1 = map(dataread1, 1023, 0, 0, 100);
    digitalWrite(sensorpowersupply1, LOW);
    read1 = millis();
  Cayenne.virtualWrite(V10, moisturepercent1, “soil_moist”, “p”);
}
}

Okay, I apologize for my late reply.
The part with reading the sensors is not the problem, the problem is with the delay for using the buttons (stepper motors and relays) I think they also have delays, because sometimes they activate and then I have to refresh the web page or go in and out in the mobile application.
My problem is only at delay, I read a post from 2018 with the same problem.

8

you can brief more as in what do you mean by lag. as there is too many use case of delay in your code, it will show lag. As during that time the device is on sleep and wont receive the data from cayenne at this time and will result in the lag. Also, use the web dashboard in place of the app.

9

I rewrote the code, I moved the reading of the soil moisture sensors in the main loop, I only use the function (Cayenne.virtualWrite (channelid)), the problem of that delay seems to be for another reason, somehow the board disconnects then connects again. Probably the wrong code.

10

can you share the new code.

add #define CAYENNE_DEBUG in the code and share the serial monitor output when the disconnect occurs.

ok,
At the moment I can’t do that, it’s raining and the arduino board is a little further from the house:
I thought of 2-3 options: Probably not powered properly, I use the power supply through the DC 12v plug, from what I can see only the connection with the mydevices service fails, because I checked in the router and the connection remains stable, I saw that sometimes the error “Timeout Reading Data” appears, I tried to connect through the mini-usb port but it seems that it does not receive enough current for everything that is connected to it.

14

if it is power issue, then the board will offline on the dashboard when it disconnects. The serial monitor output can give more info on the issue.

15

The problem has been solved, I misplugged the board, now I put a 9v source and it seems to work ok, it has a timeout from time to time, but this is not a problem
