Inputs 13&14

  • C

    Hi,

    How do I access Inputs 13 and 14 through evok?
    The leds for the two inputs light up when active. Not sure if I have to solder anything to connect them up to the header.

    Do I have to add something to the configuration file?

    Any help appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Matt

    Hi, i have a problmen with the Inputs too.

    i connet the 2 pins on the header 5 with the GPIOs and chance the "/home/pi/evok/etc/evok.conf" but the web ui dont found (not listet) the Input 13 and 14 .

    evok.conf :

    [DI_1]
gpiobus = 1
pin=4
debounce = 0
#Enable counting on rising/falling edge or disable it
#By default(or parameter not present) this function is disabled
#Can be turned on on all on-board digital inputs (not inputs on 1Wire or other extensions)
#counter_mode = rising
#counter_mode = falling
#counter_mode = disabled

debounce = 0

pin=11
debounce = 0

[DI_8]

gpiobus = 1
pin=8
debounce = 0

[DI_10]
gpiobus = 1

debounce = 0

[DI_11]
gpiobus = 1
pin=25
debounce = 0

[DI_12]
gpiobus = 1
pin=10
debounce = 0

[DI_13]
gpiobus = 1
pin=28
debounce = 0

[DI_14]
gpiobus = 1
pin=29
debounce = 0

;

    Can you help me ?

    The conf file that you should change is evok/etc/evok.conf not the one in /home/…

    Hi,
    i mean its the same file.

    command:
    sudo nano evok/etc/evok.conf The values are the same.

    But it dont work.

    Sorry it should be sudo nano /etc/evok.conf

    I found the file and I change it, but it dont work

    And did you restart the service after changing the file? sudo service evok restart?

    Yes, i have it.

    Now i have reinstall evok (sudo ./install-evok.sh), but i have the same problem. I have check the /etc/evok.conf but it doesnt work.

    At the end of istallation it chcecks if the config file exists or not and it will do what you choose if to keep the old file or not. Also remember to restart the service…

    Yes, the config work. I can change the web port. But i cant activate the DI 13 14. The web Ui dont show the DI .

    Is my config correct ?

    If you wired the DIs to GPIOs 28 and 29 that are not used by any other app then yes.

    Can you provide the log of evok after manual start? See debugging at: https://github.com/UniPiTechnology/evok

    Hi,

    dis is the output :

    Listening on port: 81

Error in config section DI_13 - 'no permission to update GPIO'

    Why have the GPIOs no permission ? What can i do ?
    I dont use the GPIOs 28 and 29 by any other app.

    Best regards

    Sorry for the late reply, I did not realize that the GPIO numbers in the config file is wrong. 28 and 29 are not GPIO numbers but PIN numbers (of the connector).

    Try using pin 1 and 5 instead. Also pin 1 is reserved so it might cause troubles too….

    Hi, no problem

    I use the Wiring Pi numbers (28, 29), not the BCM numbers. Now i use the BCM numbers (20, 21) and it works

    Thank you !
