Overview

This page only applies for the following boards: RPICT7V1 Version 2 RPICT4V3 Version 2 RPICT8

All RPICT boards can be configured to output the data in the Emoncms format.

Preliminaries

The Raspberrypi must use the software image provided by Emoncms. Refer to Emoncms website to find out which SD card image to use.

Steps

-1-

Before we start any work we will have to close down emonhub so we can have free access to the serial port.

$ /etc/init.d/emonhub stop

-2-

Grab the configuration that you need for your board using one of the command below. Note the example below if for sketch version 2.5 (replace B2 with B1 in the link if using sketch version 2.4)

RPICT7V1

$ wget http://lechacal.com/RPICT/config/B2/rpict7v1.conf
$ ./lcl-rpict-config.py -w rpict7v1.conf

RPICT8

$ wget http://lechacal.com/RPICT/config/B2/rpict8.conf
$ ./lcl-rpict-config.py -w rpict8.conf
