Temp sensor on FX30

Octave

Hi,
I looking for a basic solution to add a temperature sensor on a FX30 Octave.
Thank you

So there is a temperature sensor on the unit. Below is the terminal readout

root@fx30s:~# cm temp
Power Amplifier temperature:   16
Power Controller temperature:  16
root@fx30s:~#

And here is the AT command.

at!gstatus?
!GSTATUS:
Current Time:  200              Temperature: 16
Modem Mitigate Level: 0         ModemProc Mitigate Level: 0
Reset Counter: 1                Mode:        ONLINE
System mode:   CDMA             PS state:    Not attached

OK

This was done on an FX30 LPWA.

Regards

Matt

Hi @romuald

Are you wanting to add an external temperature sensor? Does the interface matter to you?

The FX30 and FX30S can already support a sensor which outputs an analog voltage, such as the Analog Devices TMP36. The FX30S can also support a sensor with a Modbus interface.

Sensors with other interfaces, such as Dallas 1-wire or I2C are not natively supported by Octave. These would require building a custom application.

Thanks,
Ian

I am using a UL212-E ultrasonic sensor but I am not getting any data on the octave cloud via analog input or RS485 of the FX30s gateway. With RS485, set both sensor and gateway to 9600 baud rate, no parity. Any guide? Stuck.

Hello Brian,

A CRC error is indicative of a noisy serial line or serial communications mismatch between server and host.
I would focus on the wiring if you are sure the serial config is good.

Here is a good link for troubleshooting.
