Cannot configure sck with webinterface or arduino ide

tomscherl · June 18, 2014, 7:06am

hi,

i am pretty new to smartcitizen and probably i am making a basic mistake trying to configure my new device version 1.1

after configuring via webinterface failed at step “Checking your Smart Citizen Kit version. This could take a while, please wait.” => lasts forever
i tried with arduino ide (installed as debian package) uploading
https://github.com/fablabbcn/Smart-Citizen-Kit/blob/master/sck_beta_v0_8_6/sck_beta_v0_8_6.ino
but i simply get an “error compiling”:
sck_beta_v0_8_6.ino: In function ‘void setup()’: sck_beta_v0_8_6.ino:78:12: error: ‘sckBegin’ was not declared in this scope sck_beta_v0_8_6.ino:81:12: error: ‘sckSleep’ was not declared in this scope sck_beta_v0_8_6.ino:88:13: error: ‘sckConfig’ was not declared in this scope sck_beta_v0_8_6.ino:89:58: error: ‘sckReadData’ was not declared in this scope sck_beta_v0_8_6.ino:91:46: error: ‘sckReadintEEPROM’ was not declared in this scope ...and lots more error messages...

the only thing i could upload so far was:

github.com

fablabbcn/smartcitizen-kit/blob/master/utilities/SCK_check/SCK_check.ino

#include <EEPROM.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include "SCKlibs.h"

sck sck;
void setup() { 
  sck.begin();
  delay(5000);
  Serial.println("Trying to connect.");
  if (!sck.repair()) sck.recovery();
  else Serial.println("Device detected.");
  Serial.print("Firmware version: "); 
  char *Version = sck.getWiFlyVersion(1000);
  Serial.println(Version);
  int state = sck.checkWiFlyVersion(Version);
  if (state==1) Serial.println("Wifi device is ok :)");
  else if (state==-1) Serial.println("Wifi device is corrupted :(");
  else if ((state)==0) if (!sck.webAppRepair())Serial.println("Wifi device is corrupted :(");
  Serial.println(F("Want to test the EEPROM? (y/n)"));
  while (!Serial.available());

This file has been truncated. show original

and i expected some output like “Trying to connect.” on the serial monitor, but i saw nothing like this.

since i am also quite new to arduino ide it more and more feels like being on the completely wrong path.

can anyone help here?

thanks

Hi @tomscherl, I am sorry to read that you are having issues setting up your kit. The Smart Uploader configuration tool should work correctly. I am using it almost every week. Can you tell me more about your OS!? What web browser are you using!? Anyway, have you downloaded the whole Smart-Citizen-Kit folder from github!? https://github.com/fablabbcn/Smart-Citizen-Kit It seems like you just have downloaded an *.ino file an the other files are missing. Best.

hi @aitoraloa,

OS: linux (debian jessie)
web browser: Mozilla Iceweasel 29.0.1 (like firefox)
yes, i downloaded Smart-Citizen-Kit-0.8.6.tar.gz from github

then i started up arduino ide and selected sck_beta_v0_8_6.ino in open file menu

tomscherl · June 18, 2014, 11:55am

@aitoraloa: sorry for rejecting your answer. i hop this was not rude, but i wanted to signal that in my eyes the question is still open. and also i like having a red button to proably attract one of the smartcitizens/arduino gurus

aitoraloa · June 18, 2014, 12:16pm

@tomscherl: No worries. Are you sure you have all the files in the right folder. Have you unzipped all the content in the same place!? Best.

tomscherl · June 18, 2014, 12:58pm

yes. extracted the tar file as it is with:
tar xvzf Smart-Citizen-Kit-0.8.6.tar.gz

and it unpacks to a directory Smart-Citizen-Kit-0.8.6 where i chose sck_beta_v0_8_6/sck_beta_v0_8_6.ino at arduino ide. when uploading i get the above compilation error messages.

tomscherl · June 18, 2014, 7:59pm

ok. i am home again and started some experiments. with little success. any ino file i am loading into arduin ide, i get those errors (see above)

only one file seems to compile:

utilities/SCK_check/SCK_check.ino

when i upload it, i expect something like
Trying to connect. Device detected. Firmware version: WEB_APP-1.06 ...
but nothing. as board i chose: lilipad arduino USB

when i upload nothing happens the serial monitor is empty.

it looks lik i forgot to activate something, but i have no clue what.

can anyone help me here?

thanks

here is my dmesg:

if it is of any help.

next thing i’ll try is starting arduino ide with strace. you can take this as a sign of desperation
maybe this way i can put some light on the compiling problem…

ok. looks like arduino ide somehow cannot find the included files.

i am looking forward to any hints!
probable somehow i am using the arduino-ide the wrong way…

best

tomscherl · June 19, 2014, 6:33am

it works now! i checked throw all preconditions for arduino http://playground.arduino.cc/Linux/Debian (libs, user permissions,…) , tried different versions of arduino,… and now it works. unfortunately i cannot tell what was the problem.

anyway thank you for your support!

aitoraloa · June 21, 2014, 12:49pm

@tomscherl: Nice! I am glad to read it finally works. If you figure out what happened in the future, it would be nice to let us know. All the best.
