• Make more #define's @ node-gprs-http-firmware-builder:

  const long loadCellZeroOffset = 38623;
  //  const long loadCellKgDivider  = 22053;
  // 1/2 value for single side measurement, so that 1 kg is displayed as 2 kg
  const long loadCellKgDivider  = 11026;
  

• With the "Modern, flexible firmware: WiFi, MQTT, JSON" firmware, decode and interpolate the topology information from the channel address into appropriate firmware variables: https://community.hiveeyes.org/t/firmware-builder-beta/265

Misc

RaspIO setup

• Hardware jumper to decouple SPI from RFM69

• Compile using:

  cat Makefile-Linux.mk
  
  # RasPIO Hiveeyes, 2016-12-15
  BOARD_TAG         = gert328
  MCU = atmega328p
  F_CPU = 12000000L
  ISP_PROG = gpio
  FORCE_MONITOR_PORT = true
  

• Upload using:

  sudo avrdude -P gpio -c gpio -p atmega328p -v -U flash:w:../../bin/src/gert328/src.hex
  

• Enable UART on /dev/ttyS0:

  root@raspberrypi:~# cat /boot/config.txt | grep uart
  enable_uart=1
  

• Use the correct serial device:

  screen /dev/ttyS0 115200
