Gladys 4 - Arduino service development

[pierre-gilles]

@billona

For the average user, no additional manipulation: they plug in their Arduino, create it in Gladys, and click an « Upload » button that will do the work for them

That would be amazing! Great find!

@VonOx

Great for the detail, I get the IDs for the UDEV rules

Top!

[billona]

I’m not far from having a first version of the automatic upload.

However, I still have a small bug. I’m trying to flash the card with my .hex file, but it doesn’t work.

avrgirl.flash(require.resolve(`arduino-code.ino.standard.hex`, function (error) {
  if (error) {
    logger.warn(error);
  } else {
    logger.warn('Flashing done!');
  }
});

Apparently, the relative path is not accepted.

Apparently, only an absolute path is accepted. Would you have a solution to this problem?

Edit:
Well, it wasn’t that complicated, it’s fixed

So, the automatic upload is now handled for the Arduino Uno and Mega! The .hex files for other boards will come soon

[Spouet]

Hey Hey!
Great progress and fantastic work!
My Gladys 3 installation is still active and I have a lot of other « tinkering » projects going on, but as soon as I can, I’ll test all of this!
Bravo, it’s very, very promising!

[billona]

Thank you so much, it’s nice to hear that

For now, there are still quite a few things to fix, but we are getting to a fairly complete solution.

I am working on the reception part. I have therefore created a small script that runs with a POST request. The results are promising, I get the data from a sensor that I installed at home yesterday:

The idea now is to modify the generic Arduino code, so as to have a standardized JSON format that is understandable by Gladys.

Moreover, for the practical side, I was wondering if it would not be more practical to separate the transmissions and receptions at the level of the Arduinos directly? In other words, a code for an Arduino that will transmit data, and a code for an Arduino that will serve as a sensor and receiver. This would allow that if we have a delay to impose for the receptions, it does not impact Gladys when we ask to emit a signal.

For now, these are still just ideas, but as soon as everything is clear, this « final » phase of development should be quite quick

[Spouet]

I think it’s easier to have a kind of all-in-one.
In terms of deadlines, it’s still quite fast and I don’t think it impacts Gladys, right?

Look at the code we had in Gladys 3, it managed the transmission and reception in one program and it worked very well!

Great job otherwise!

[loic_btz]

Wow, great job
I can’t wait to try this out, I do a lot of programming on Arduino and this is fantastic news.
Great job.

[billona]

@pierre-gilles @loic_btz Thank you very much

@pierre-gilles

Look at the code we had in Gladys 3, it managed both transmission and reception in one program and it worked very well!

Perfect, I’ve worked a bit on all that. A new version of the Arduino code has been uploaded, and now it is possible to create 433 sensors. For now, the Arduino’s serial outputs appear only in the logs, and the last output is stored in the device’s ‹ CODE › parameter.

I’m still struggling to figure out how to present the devices in the interface, but we are finally achieving two-way communication

If you have suggestions on how the devices could be displayed, I’m all ears

By the way @pierre-gilles, I tried to define the sensor as a temperature sensor in the database, but it does not appear on the dashboard when I do my device-in-room box… Are there specifications for it to appear?

[Terdious]

Salut @billona,

Alors après quelques jours de tests et de quelques galère, voici mon retour. Je vais d’abord présenté ici les test en téléversement + émission 433 seulement (Je n’ai pas de prises Chacon pour le moment - J’en ai commandé 4, ça me sera toujours utile ^^) . Puis dans un second je posterais les test en réception.
Pour information, la différence qu’on a sur l’ArduinoJSON vient du fait que tu utilises la version 5 alors que de mon côté ça fait une bonne année que je suis passé en version 6 qui traite notamment les erreurs de déserialization. Peut-être serait-il bon de passé sur celle-ci au plus tôt car comme je te l’avais les appels changent. C’est toi qui voit, si tu as besoin je t’aiguillerais. Pas grand chose à changer.
Côté programme, aucune actions requises n’a été nécessaire pour que ce soit fonctionnel :
Plateforme de test :

Côté récepteur :

• Board Arduino UNO - Officielle Made in Italy
• Sous Windows 10
• Moniteur série IDE Arduino
• Programme exemple de la bibliothèque RC-Switch :

Programme ReceiveDemo_Simple

#include <RCSwitch.h>

RCSwitch mySwitch = RCSwitch();

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
mySwitch.enableReceive(0);  // Receiver on interrupt 0 => that is pin #2
}

void loop() {
if (mySwitch.available()) {
  
  Serial.print("Received ");
  Serial.print( mySwitch.getReceivedValue() );
  Serial.print(" / ");
  Serial.print( mySwitch.getReceivedBitlength() );
  Serial.print("bit ");
  Serial.print("Protocol: ");
  Serial.println( mySwitch.getReceivedProtocol() );

  mySwitch.resetAvailable();
}
}

• Utilisation à chaque ligne de test de 3 récepteurs :

Générique chinois

AUREL RX-4M50RR30SF

Générique RXB6

Côté émetteur :

• Utilisation à chaque ligne de test de 2 émetteurs:

2 Générique chinois à chaque fois pour être sûr

AUREL 3 x SAW MID 5V/CS

• Programme : Fournis - Téléversement depuis Intégrations / Arduino / Configuration dans Gladys

Axes d’améliorations notés que tu as peut-être en tête :

• Après avoir sauvegardé la config, actuellement pour chaque carte, je dois rafraîchir la page avec F5 pour pouvoir effectuer le téléversement. Peut-être dû à la base DEV. ? Sinon prévoir le rafraichissement automatique après chaque action ? …
• Lorsqu’on débranche/rebranche un Arduino, la carte n’est plus sélectionnée dans la page Configuration - si possible sélectionner automatiquement le bon port en fonction des idVendor/idProduct/SerialNumber enregistré la 1ère fois sinon indiqué en alerte sur le dashboard que l’utilisateur de resélectionner la bonne carte dans le menu Configuration (il me semble que les alertes ne sont pas encore gérées sur le Dash.),
• Messages d’alerte dans la box de la carte en cours de Téléversement pour prévenir “Téléversement en cours”, “Téléversement effectué avec succès”, “Téléversement impossible”, etc…,
• La suppression d’une carte ne fonctionne pas pour moi,
• Côté vue Devices, dans “émission 433 Prise Chacon”, nous avons code ON / code OFF (qui ne vaudrait normalement que pour les Fonctionnalités Interrupteur et Lumière ? Utilité de la fonctionnalité Bouton ?). Mais côté “émission 433”, la même chose prévaut pour ces 2 premières fonctionnalités. Ne faudrait-il pas proposer 2 lignes code ON + Longueur du code / code OFF + Longueur du code ou même une Longueur du code commune puisque on utlisera généralement la même Longueur.

La suite pour la réception à venir. Déjà quelque tests faits.

[billona]

Thanks for your tests @Terdious

@Terdious

For information, the difference we have with ArduinoJSON comes from the fact that you are using version 5 while I have been using version 6 for about a year now, which handles deserialization errors in particular. It might be a good idea to switch to this version as soon as possible because as I told you, the calls change. It’s up to you, if you need I will guide you. Not much to change.

I see! Yes if you have the possibility to guide me I am not against it, that way it will be done ^^

@Terdious

Deleting a card does not work for me

That’s strange, on my side both adding and deleting work very well…

@Terdious

On the Devices view, in “433 emission Chacon Outlet”, we have ON code / OFF code (which should normally only apply to the Switch and Light Features? Usefulness of the Button feature?). But on the “433 emission” side, the same thing applies to these first two features. Wouldn’t it be better to offer 2 lines ON code + Code Length / OFF code + Code Length or even a common Code Length since we will generally use the same Length.

I modified the display to make it a bit more coherent, the first version was mostly a test while waiting to improve the rest.. If you could give me your feedback on this new version it would be great

@Terdious

Alert messages in the card box during Upload to warn « Upload in progress », « Upload successful », « Upload impossible », etc…,

The messages are created. I may need to rework this later, but it should be in place.

@Terdious

After saving the config, currently for each card, I have to refresh the page with F5 to be able to perform the upload. Maybe due to the DEV base? Otherwise plan for automatic refresh after each action? …

This is also strange… On my side, even in DEV I can do everything without having to refresh…

@Terdious

When you unplug/replug an Arduino, the card is no longer selected in the Configuration page - if possible automatically select the correct port based on the idVendor/idProduct/SerialNumber recorded the first time otherwise indicate in the dashboard alert that the user must reselect the correct card in the Configuration menu (I think the alerts are not yet managed on the Dash.),

I just remodified the USB API to add these parameters when retrieving the USB ports. If I didn’t make any mistakes in the code then it should be fine. I haven’t been able to test it yet because during my tests I didn’t have any path changes, but if it happens to you I would like to have your feedback ^^

Hi @Xeanorts! You understood the service’s operation well ^^

@Xeanorts

What about using an Arduino nano IOT or Uno Wifi that would just be connected to the same network as Gladys to allow it to work without plugging it in via USB? For now I have no idea how it works.

To be honest, the service is more focused on USB communication with the Arduino. Having never used a nano IOT or Uno Wifi I don’t know how they work. But this could be the subject of a future update to the service to take them into account.

For now, the priority for me is to have a reliable and finished USB communication service.

@Xeanorts

For info, what interests me is the IR part to create a universal remote controllable by Gladys to fully control my TV and soundbar.

The generic code currently allows managing IR emission

[benPi]

Hello,
I finally managed to launch Gladys. I did not use Docker.

I do not have a first connection page and no password.

Any idea for me to test?

[VonOx]

If you see this on the home page, it means Gladys is using an existing database that contains identifiers.

If you don’t describe the steps you have taken to get there, it’s difficult for us to help you.

What is your goal? To test the Arduino service?

[billona]

The issue is probably with the CORS requests that don’t go through in this configuration… It happens to me too…

What I do is, after migrating my database (in the server folder: npm run db-migrate:dev), I do a nano front/config.js, and I replace « localhost » with the IP address of the machine running Gladys.

[Terdious]

@benPi, yes, I do the same as @billona, the front fetches the database from the browser’s localhost. So if, like me, you have a DB running on localhost, it connects to it. Strange ^^

@billona

I see! Yes, if you have the possibility to guide me, I’m not against it, that way it will be done ^^

With pleasure ^^

1. You update your library via the Arduino IDE to v6.15.2

In image

2. You replace your lines 145 and 146:

StaticJsonBuffer<400> jsonBuffer;
JsonObject& v = jsonBuffer.parseObject(json_data);

with the following lines:

StaticJsonDocument<400> jsonBuffer;
DeserializationError error = deserializeJson(jsonBuffer, json_data);
if (error) {
  Serial.println(error.c_str());
  return;
}
JsonObject v = jsonBuffer.as<JsonObject>();

It works well for me, I did the tests with your version and the modified one (the second with an upload from my Windows PC).

@billona

@Terdious

Deleting a card does not work for me

That’s strange, on my side both adding and deleting work very well…

See GIF below. I cannot delete either card or device.

@billona

@Terdious

That’s also strange… On my side, even in DEV I can do everything without having to refresh…

It’s an error of « length ». For information, I do all the tests with your project under 2 platforms, VScode on Windows and on a Raspberry Pi 4 as well. The behaviors are always the same, I will specify if there are ever any differences. Also, I always use 2 browsers, Chrome and Firefox to be « sure » that it’s not an issue on that side. In short, I try as much as I can to do all the tests with 2 supports (PC/RPi, Windows/Linux, Chrome/Firefox, 2 Arduino of the same type for each type, 2 x E433Mhz Generic / 2 x E433Mhz brand name, same for the R433MHz - even 3)

In image

Also, I can no longer do tests since the update following your post, it no longer recognizes the cards that are well seen by the command dmesg -s 1024, and changing the card type makes Google or Firefox completely crash (tested on both). I have to kick via the task manager or wait for Google to offer to interrupt the page:

GIF of the problem

Also, I see that the reception PIN is no longer offered. I had noticed during the previous tests that in fact you had to put PIN 0 and connect the receiver to PIN 2, which is normal, since it is processed by interrupt (« Interrupt 0 = PIN 2 » on most Arduinos, « PIN 3 » on YUN and Leonardo at least). Thus, it worked well with your program on my tests under the Arduino IDE. On the other hand, I did not succeed in doing it under the RPI, I cannot read the serial port when it is occupied by Gladys.

That’s it, for the moment I don’t know how to help you anymore, I tried a complete reinstall of the PI, but nothing more ^^ Unfortunately I don’t have an Apple support available ^^

@VonOx

If you don’t describe the steps you have taken to get there, it’s difficult for us to help you.

What is your goal? To test the Arduino service?

Yes, I have a Raspbian-buster-desktop distribution and I have done all the developer installation steps by replacing the Gladys PG path with that of @billona.

So this morning, I changed the local host line,
localApiUrl: process.env.LOCAL_API_URL || ‹ http://IP_DU_RPI:1443 ›,
webSocketUrl: process.env.WEBSOCKET_URL || ‹ ws://IP_DU_RPI:1443 ›,
And it works!

I did /gladys/server $ npm start
I got an error:

@benPi, this error means that the server is already running. If you want to check the logs, the best thing to do is to restart your RPi and launch everything again in the same way. After an automatic SSH disconnection, the server remains running but not the front end.

[benPi]

Thanks a lot, I understand better!

By the way: can I make a request to the server from my browser if the frontend is not running? I don’t have an example of a request but it’s to better understand.

Anyway, it works!

[benPi]

@billona Here is my first feedback. It’s great! It works on its own!

I have some remarks, but they are more about refining and understanding. For me, what is essential is the ability to customize what will be sent to the Arduino (a customize button like the example below).

I deliberately emphasized my « newbie » side so that as many things as possible are ergonomic and intuitive. Overall, labels when you hover over a button would help to better understand in one sentence what is expected. This helps to better understand.

Setup:

Name of the card: we don’t know if we can put whatever we want or if we need to copy a reference. A phrase to clarify

Select the model of your Arduino: “You can find it here…” if there is a place to find it

Select the USB port where your Arduino is connected: Not knowing, I created 2 Arduinos with 2 different ports. Both work. However, one of the 2 Arduinos should appear “not connected, error, it’s not an Arduino on dev/ttyAMA0”

[EDIT] No Arduino is actually connected, so « Arduino connected » should not appear.
Is it rather « USB connected »?
PS I connected the Arduino later and the USB port options do not change.

Upload Code: If I understand correctly, this uploads code to the Arduino? There might be a security feature after, but right now I’m afraid to click on it because I’m afraid of erasing my own Arduino code. A small explanation label would help to reassure or to warn about the operation “warning, you will lose the last code in your Arduino.”

DEVICES:

Name: There are names everywhere (card name, sub-service name, slug, TAG, etc.) I imagine that given the context, I need to put the name of my controlled outlet. But it is a bit confusing.

FUNCTION:

Typically, I want to move a servomotor. It would be great to combine your ready-made code, which is very practical, with the ability to create your own function. For example, my function would be:

SERVO (‘Position’ = ‘180’). The question is, if I send 181 and it’s limited, is there an error message? Or should I opt for 100% = 180°? (like with light intensity)

For an open app, just as I can send a request in the form of IP/?servo=180 or other, we should be able to send our raw command. Moreover, it will be simpler for debugging as I can send the same thing via my Arduino console when I test my .ino code on my computer.

Proposal (the must-have): when you click on customize, it displays the raw code (like the scripts) sent to the Arduino that you can then customize (at the risk that it may not work anymore, of course).

DATAPIN: Beware, some pins do not work with a type of action

Is there a “warning” if a PIN is selected twice “Warning: data pin 7 is used twice, it may be a mistake and cause damage to your device”

EMIT IR: If I want to modify the “protocol” of the IR emission, I should be able to do it.

Two different lengths can be confusing.

For Arduino Devices: a drop-down list would be interesting to contract the setup of each device once configured.

[billona]

@benPi

That’s great! It works by itself!

Perfect if it works

I agree with you, there are still a lot of things to modify in the UI to make everything explicit. First, I want to finish the reception part before dealing with optimization.

@benPi

Typically, I want to move a servo motor. It would be great to combine your ready-made code, which is very practical, with the ability to create your own function.

Could you send me the Arduino code you use to control your Servo in a private message? I’m gradually adding features to the code. For example, the latest update includes data recovery via DHT11.

@benPi

Suggestion (the best): when you click on customize, it displays the raw code (like scripts) sent to the Arduino that you can then customize (at the risk of it not working anymore, of course).

That’s a great idea, I’ll add it to my roadmap. As soon as everything is finished, I’ll try to work on it

@benPi

EMIT IR: If I want to modify the « protocol » of the IR transmission, I should be able to do it.

Yes, for now it’s just sendNEC, but I’ll add the other protocols later.

@Terdious thanks for your help, I modified the Arduino code, I’ll test it this afternoon.

@Terdious

I can’t delete either the card or the device.

After that, based on what you proposed regarding serialNumber, productID, etc., I modified the USB API, and therefore the card parameters stored in the DB. If you haven’t already, I advise you to start with a new DB. Since I’m still in development, it’s normal for the DB data to change along the way, but if some data is not entered and your browser expects it, it seems logical to have errors.

@Terdious

For information, I can no longer test since the update following your post, it no longer recognizes the cards that are well seen by the dmesg -s 1024 command, and the change of card type completely crashes Google or Firefox (tested on both). I have to kick via the task manager or wait for Google to suggest I interrupt the page:

That’s really strange too. Maybe it’s due to recent changes in the API and the DB?

@Terdious

Also, I see that the reception PIN is no longer offered.

Yes, I made the choice that for the 433 reception, the pin must necessarily be 0 first. This avoids the user entering a pin that doesn’t work. I’ll work on that later.

In any case, thank you very much for all this feedback

[benPi]

@benPi

// SERVICE SERVO: void setServo(int angle,int pin) { // set the servo position
myServo.attach(pin); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
myServo.write(angle); }

I posted my Arduino code including light sensor, motion sensor, and servo earlier. I had to split the code into service sections in setup and loop, so I commented to clearly mark which code belongs to which service.

You can definitely take inspiration from this, that’s what it’s for.

PS I had a small bug with the proposed ports. If you can, instead of displaying ttyUSB0, could you display the port name. (for me quinheng, which appears when doing lsusb)
There’s an example here (I think )

commande pour déterminer les ports d'un périphérique (comme / dev / ttyUSB0)
