4. Analog Inputs Have "Disappeared"

Analog Inputs Have "Disappeared"

  • C

    Hello All!

    I just purchased the UniPi controller to replace a Control By Web X332, and I must say, I love it! For some reason that is beyond my understanding, the two analog inputs on the UniPi have essentially disappeared from the evok interface. Whenever I navigate to /rest/all, the analog inputs are not in the json output, and when I navigate to /rest/ai/1, I get a 500 Internal server error… The odd thing is, that these inputs worked before, but now they do not! Has anyone else here experienced this, or have any suggestions as to what the issue may be? Below are the contents of my evok.conf file.

    Thanks in advance for all the help!

    Hello all!

    Of course as soon as I post online, I resolve the issue! For anybody else that runs into this problem, what I did to solve it, was set the JP1 to provide power to the pi (and of course, unplug the usb power supply from the Pi!!) and voila! The analog inputs are now working! Any Ideas as to why this is the case?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Hello Chris,

    that is weird. The only thing that could cause such troubles might be unstable power supply for RPi or UniPi…. I have not experienced this problem. But thanks for the info.

    Regards,
    Tomas
