[Solved] Problem with encoders ? How to test?

stef_the_sims · January 23, 2021, 4:48pm

Hello everyboby

Yesterday I update the my OS. (with the stable version)
I did it directly (I didn’t test my zynthian before, and i didn’t use it for 6 months).

I have a V2.0 version
So in the http://zynthian.local/ I change for a V2 Kit version in the menu.
but after reboot the encoders are down.

I burn once again the OS image on the SD card , I try another SD card,
I try to change wiring in the webconf parameters ; …
alway the same problem.

the touchscreen is OK (I can test MP3 audio for exemple)
But nothing with the rotates encoders and click.
I have open the box to check the connectors. they seems to be OK.
I think there is a problem on the mpc23017 card. But I’m not sure
Is there a way to test this card ?

But the problem is perharps elsewhere ???

Please can someone help ?

i2cdetect -y 1 will tell you if you can actually communicate with the allinone card as a starting point…

Does the webconf come up and can you see the UI log?

I don’t know how to put the command line : i2cdetect -y 1

Hi @stef_the_sims!

Have you configured the new SD image for working with your v2 kit? The latest SD imges are pre-configured for the latest hardware version,

Simply access the webconf and select your kit

BTW, i’m thinking on implementing a simple configuration screen that would be launched on the first boot.

Regards!

stef_the_sims · January 23, 2021, 9:19pm

Hi @jofemodo
Yes that is I tried to explain :
Yes I accessed to the webconf and select the V2 kit, but the encoders doesn’t work.

le51 · January 23, 2021, 9:46pm

From the command Line. Either using ssh or within the webconf (there is a console wrapper in it) or any other remote Access method.

stef_the_sims · January 23, 2021, 11:17pm

I success to install putty and I have an access to the zynthian.
The result is

stef_the_sims · January 24, 2021, 9:01am

it’s OK now but I don’t understand.
Yesterday i tried to do an update vi the webconf but I can not acces to github.
Yesterday i tried to update throught the wifi of the box but I did’t access acces to github
Today I tried with another wifi access and I success to do an update software from the touchscreen.

And now encoders are OK.

stef_the_sims · January 24, 2021, 9:03am

So I have to know for a next time that the https://os.zynthian.org/zynthianos-last-stable.zip is perhaps not stable for me ! .

stef_the_sims · January 24, 2021, 10:23am

but it’s not really easy to do some things without encoders !

riban · January 24, 2021, 10:24am

I have experienced Zynthian (and other devices) not renewing its DHCP lease which can result in an apparent loss of Internet connection. Restarting the Zynthian resolves this. When this was happening to me I found it occured about every 24 hours which I think was the lease time on my DHCP server. I changed some LAN configuration and don’t suffer from this now but I think there may be some oddity with the way that DHCP and other name resolution mechanisms.

stef_the_sims · January 24, 2021, 10:29am

Thanks for the information !
I had yet rebooted the zynthian many times and try many time an update.

But there is one thing i don’t understand. Why is it necessary to make an update to recover the configuration of the encoders? why can’t it be in the OS image?
There is something that I must not have done or understood well.

I’ve also found it’s a little indicative of a damaged SSD especially if your power goes on and off intermittently
