Hi,
wishing everyone good health, in this strange pandemic time......be safe.
I'm having a bit of bother with a project that I want to complete,and I'd really appreciate any advice that might help me achieve the desired outcome.
As part of the project , I'm using a linux OS on a raspberry pi 3 B as my computer and I want to build a DC timer, that can turn on and off a 12volt DC light (on for 5 hours).
Ultimately I want to be able to record the effect a given load has on a 12 volt battery's capacity as part of a micro solar setup. I appreciate there are devices on the market to do this task but I would like to "learn while doing" whenever possible.
My aduino board is a Yun (original) and the RealTimeClock module is a HW-111 12c module.
connections:
RTC_ SCL ....conneced to....Yun_digitalOutput_ 3
RTC_SDA ....connected to...Yun_digitalOutput_ 2
RTC_VCC ....connected to ..Yun_5v
RTC_GND...connected to ..Yun_GND
I found the initial sketch which I thought might work at RandomNerdTutorials .. How to do Daily Tasks with Arduino.
With the Yun connected over USB via /dev/ttyAMAO (Arduino Yun) port the sketch runs just fine
However..... when I tried to run the same sketch over wifi it did not work.
In an attempt to isolate the problem I striped back the project to just The RTC and tried the DS3017RTC . SetTime and ReadTest sketches.
Once again ....over usb the SetTime and ReadTest sketches uploaded and ran perfectly.
This is the ReadTest sketch used:
#include <Wire.h>
#include <TimeLib.h>
#include <DS1307RTC.h>
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) ; // wait for serial
delay(200);
Serial.println("DS1307RTC Read Test");
Serial.println("-------------------");
}
void loop() {
tmElements_t tm;
if (RTC.read(tm)) {
Serial.print("Ok, Time = ");
print2digits(tm.Hour);
Serial.write(':');
print2digits(tm.Minute);
Serial.write(':');
print2digits(tm.Second);
Serial.print(", Date (D/M/Y) = ");
Serial.print(tm.Day);
Serial.write('/');
Serial.print(tm.Month);
Serial.write('/');
Serial.print(tmYearToCalendar(tm.Year));
Serial.println();
} else {
if (RTC.chipPresent()) {
Serial.println("The DS1307 is stopped. Please run the SetTime");
Serial.println("example to initialize the time and begin running.");
Serial.println();
} else {
Serial.println("DS1307 read error! Please check the circuitry.");
Serial.println();
}
delay(9000);
}
delay(1000);
}
void print2digits(int number) {
if (number >= 0 && number < 10) {
Serial.write('0');
}
Serial.print(number);
}Now I wanted to have the same sketch run over wifi rather than via usb and there seems to be a problem. I have read that if I include "Console.h" and "Bridge.h" and add Console.begin() andBridge.begin() in the void Setup and change all reference to the serial monitor to Console(i.e. Serial.println to Console.println) , then it should fix it ....but unfortunately not!
New Sketch with edits reads
#include <Wire.h>
#include <TimeLib.h>
#include <DS1307RTC.h>
#include <Console.h>
#include <Bridge.h>
void setup() {
Console.begin();
Bridge.begin();
while (!Console) ; // wait for serial
delay(200);
Console.println("DS1307RTC Read Test");
Console.println("-------------------");
}
void loop() {
tmElements_t tm;
if (RTC.read(tm)) {
Console.print("Ok, Time = ");
print2digits(tm.Hour);
Console.write(':');
print2digits(tm.Minute);
Console.write(':');
print2digits(tm.Second);
Console.print(", Date (D/M/Y) = ");
Console.print(tm.Day);
Console.write('/');
Console.print(tm.Month);
Console.write('/');
Console.print(tmYearToCalendar(tm.Year));
Console.println();
} else {
if (RTC.chipPresent()) {
Console.println("The DS1307 is stopped. Please run the SetTime");
Console.println("example to initialize the time and begin running.");
Console.println();
} else {
Console.println("DS1307 read error! Please check the circuitry.");
Console.println();
}
delay(9000);
}
delay(1000);
}
void print2digits(int number) {
if (number >= 0 && number < 10) {
Console.write('0');
}
Console.print(number);
}After uploading sketch, the following error message appears.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
And finally the serial monitor/console reads
Unable to connect: retrying (0)... I would really appreciate any help at all in helping to get to the bottom of this problem.
Thanking you
