Hi
I wanna ask one thing if someone could help me. How to send and receive data? I want two widgets. Slider and Gauge. If I move the slider, the change should be reflected in the gauge. How can I do that without hardware just through code? I am using esp8266 and mqtt to connect with Cayenne.Thanks
use CAYENNE_IN() to read value of the slider and store in “x” then use Cayenne.virtualWrite(0, x); to send the value to cayenne. change the setting to gauge of the widget.
code look good beside including the cayenne library. add #define CAYENNE_DEBUG and check the serial monitor when you change the slider.
i think the gauge on your dashboard, is added by add new > devices/widget > custom widget > gauge.
first delete both the widget pressure gauge and channel 2.
next when you turn upload the above code, a temporary channel 2 widget will populate the dashboard. add to the dashboard “+”.
click on setting (gear icon) of that widget and change choose widget to gauge.
replace
to
virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, d, "analog_sensor", "null")
It is working now. Thank you so much, dear.
Can you please tell why you added “analog_sensor and null”? What’s the logic?
yes i can help but i dint get what you are trying do.
Like I want a pressure or gauge control model. Are you getting my point?
add another button with channel 3.
int x;
CAYENNE_IN(3)
{
x = getValue.asInt();
}
and change this:
CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL)
{
if ( x == 1)
{
virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, d, "analog_sensor", "null")
Serial.println(d);
}
}
why do you want the above?
And there is too much delay in sending and receiving data, like if move the slider, gauge moves after 15-20 sec. Why there is a delay? How can I speed up that?
I want this because I should look like real model. As in real a gauge looks like. As it is not stable, keeps on moving.
Where to add these two parts of the code?
this is some dirty thing you can give a try but not sure whether it will work as you want and it will change after every 15 sec.
int y;
CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL)
{
if ( x == 1)
{
virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, d, "analog_sensor", "null")
Serial.println(d);
}
else
{
y += 10;
virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, y, "analog_sensor", "null");
if ( y == 30)
{
virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, y, "analog_sensor", "null");
y = 0;
}
}
}
add after void loop.
change:
to
CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL)
{
if ( x == 1)
{
virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, d, "analog_sensor", "null")
Serial.println(d);
}
}
And how can we control a slider, like if want to send a value to slider everytime the esp turns on, say a preset value 50, how can I do that. Coz whenever I restart Cayenne Slider goes to 0, I want to set it to some value.
#define CAYENNE_DEBUG
#define CAYENNE_PRINT Serial
#include <CayenneMQTTESP8266.h>
int x;
int y;
// WiFi network info.
char ssid[] = “WiFi Name”;
char wifiPassword[] = “Password”;
// Cayenne authentication info. This should be obtained from the Cayenne Dashboard.
char username[] = “username”;
char password[] = “password”;
char clientID[] = “ID”;
int i;
double d;
#define VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 2
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID, ssid, wifiPassword);
Serial.println(“Connected”);
}
void loop() {
Cayenne.loop();
}
// This function will be called every time a Dashboard widget writes a value to Virtual Channel 1.
CAYENNE_IN(1)
{
CAYENNE_LOG(“Got a value: %s”, getValue.asStr());
// You can also use:
// i = getValue.asInt();
d = getValue.asDouble();
Serial.println(d);
}
CAYENNE_IN(3)
{
x = getValue.asInt();
}
CAYENNE_OUT(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL)
{
if ( x == 1)
{
virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, d, "analog_sensor", "null")
Serial.println(d);
}
else
{
y += 10;
virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, y, "analog_sensor", "null");
if ( y == 30)
{
virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, y, "analog_sensor", "null");
y = 0;
}
}
}
not possible.
when it restarts after 10 sec it should change it the above code i gave.
