I wonder if this is legal? The answer in the EU and if you are dealing as a consumer is definitely not. The relevant legal instrument is 'DIRECTIVE 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts' . It is mandatory for all EU member states, so in the UK it is implemented as the The ...

Hi Bart, First of all, caution: I use Pidora on my RPi and it is slightly different to Raspian - being Fedora rather than Debian based. I chose it because I come from a Fedora background. In this context it is a pain as there is a big bug in the Pidora header files that means you cannot compile vikn...

Hi Bart,

I do not know about XAP, but I am running an xpl_hub on a RPi server quite happily.

Definitively, the checksum is strange with my PowerMax Pro. For instance, I receive a Keep alive with payload : 0xA5 0x00 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x43 with a Cheksum of 0x16 When I sum the check load, I have EA. FF - EA = 15 different from 16 Laurent Strange I have exactly the ...

Are you sure you add the preamble, checksum and postamble to the commands? And that the checksum is calculated correctly? @Rene: I assume you mean my code. It is a matter of where in the process you break the message down into its component parts. This is very much experimental code and I have stil...

Ok - the code seems to have a lot of overhead ;) Not such how you pass the data to the routine ... maybe a string? Seems that to-from byte-hex happens a few times in the code. Hi UAlex, Yes it is definitely V0.01 code. The serial port is monitored by a loop which when it receives a message calls th...

@uAlex: Thanks for the PM, I cannot reply yet as I have not posted enough. Yes my code works - Initially it was failing when the lobyte evaluated to FF, by trial and error I found that if that is the case the checksum appears to be the hibyte instead. Since then all the messages received have calcul...

@Mario: If you got issues, maybe you can share some code / examples where it goes wrong? As an alternative this is my perl code to do the checksum ( I am a perl beginner so I am sure it can be improved): sub CalcChksum { my $chkstring = shift; # Read last 4 char which should include x43 checksum in...

In a few days I will start a new project, that is; get this working on a Raspberry Pi. Is there already someone that can claim success with this ? :) Hi Marck, I am using a R Pi as the hardware for my interface. For the hardware I had to add a real time clock module, ( I used the rasclock plugin rt...

Yes, when i finally fired out how the powerlink communication is started, i got it working on the RS232 too :D Just send an invalid download request, and the PM30 will ask you to enroll :-) uAlex73, Could you give more detail on the steps you took to do this? I have a similar setup using a PM30 and...

Hi viknet, Welcome back. The problem seems to be incompatible header files in the pidora distro I am using. SO I used your code to form the basis of a perl script to handle the messages. This is better for me as my HA system is deirved from a shopping cart written in perl. The script works in that m...

Hi ggero, I have used my cable to connect to a powermaster30, using RX-TX & TX-RX & GND-GND. The remote programmer works, but I had to set a separate download code in the panel. I eventually compiled pmaxd with xpl as I can use it with another part of my HA setup. However when I run the pmax...

Just to say the link worked for me. But I am having the compiling problem mentioned above.

I assume Viknet is on holiday - I cannot PM yet so I cannot reply to his message to me.

Hi Viknet,

Thanks for the source. I am just trying to compile the pmaxd on a fedora system, without the xpl part. However the make exits with 1 status complaining about 'cannot find -lxPL'

Is xpl necessary if I want to use another package to parse the log files?

TIA

I cannot upload ipk file (if an admin can remove this limitation) file are uploaded at: http://dl.free.fr/pqVtEgIOi xpl library http://dl.free.fr/gVS3VE2eA pmax daemon http://dl.free.fr/i9Z7TjWoX xpl example and utility (optional) src of the three: http://dl.free.fr/gJZy64Wnr --Snip-- if asked ever...
