online heating system control project

bits and pieces

version 6

Moving things to 10.0.1.101 but first set up api framework there
Added rewrite rules in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default <syntaxhighlight> <Directory /var/www/hsc> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule feed/([0-9]+) /var/www/hsc/index.php?id=$1 RewriteRule feeds /var/www/hsc/index.php RewriteRule datastreams /var/www/hsc/index.php?id=$1 RewriteRule prog /var/www/hsc/index.php?id=$1 RewriteRule progs /var/www/hsc/index.php?id=$1 </Directory> </syntaxhighlight> Test code to parse url <syntaxhighlight> <?php echo("hi dog
"); print_r($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); echo "
"; $urlarr = (parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); echo "
"; print_r($_GET); echo "
"; print_r($urlarr); echo "
"; $pathstr=($urlarr["path"]); echo $pathstr; echo "
"; print_r(explode("/", $pathstr)); ?> </syntaxhighlight>

version 3
php www-data program that creates a crontab and calls a C program that executes root commands to copy it into crontabs and install it
write a php file that PUTS some light on on the AVR
collect data from AVR and store it in mysql
view the saved data on a client using javascript

code working on arduino

version 5
raw DS18B20 to server, convert and send back to serial monitor

Uploaded to Arduino is hsc_tempJSONphp.ino Raw data is sent by arduino to /var/www/feeds/getnoise.php which puts it in an object and then creates another object containing F converted sensor readings for data coming off ONEWIRE connected sensors. Then it sends that data back.

Trying to convert to float on the Arduino wasn't working. Why push it? I've got unlimited power on LAMP server.

version 4 - temp readings beyond serial monitor
version 4a - DS18B20 readings to JSON
version 4b - JSON from arduino to PHP server
a) separate out a function to provide a reading to send to cosm for pin 0(14) and 1(15)
1 one possibility - send to cosm. This is better than having a webclient like thermometer.ino. Get it to Cosm and then later set up an api like cosm
version 3 - onewire demo

Put sample code in function getTemp(). Subsequent calls of the function don't reset the device counter. this is good.

On serial monitor running DS18x20_Temperature.ino ala the library here. Of note: How it polls each device: <syntaxhighlight>

 if ( !ds.search(addr)) {//this is where it loops to the next address
   Serial.println("No more addresses.");
   Serial.println();
   ds.reset_search();//if there are no more devices go back to start of list
   delay(250);
   return;
 }

</syntaxhighlight>

version 2
Online thermometer creating web page in which you call for the data by clicking a button. Uses design from Practical Arduino in /tim/Documents/electronics/arduino/thermometerthermometer.ino and it runs at http://10.0.1.79
version 1
Take random readings from analog pins start an etehrnet client that sends them out to http://cosm.com (mcktimo 6j) every ten seconds :comtest.ino

final narrative

An Avr takes in temperature readings from multiple locations. At the control room the AVR hub polls temperature and for each zone knows the set temperature, the default temperature and whether or not a zone is ON and how long it has been on. If it doesn't hear from the (linux) scheduler then it falls back to act as a multi-zone thermostat set at the default temperatures. Through a rudimentary display it would allow you to set temperatures for each zone.

The scheduler would take temperature data from the AVR client and would know the schedule. Whenever a schedule change point would come up, it would notify the AVR and instruct it to change the set point. It would do this via chrontab maybe.

The controller would on the client probably an HTML5/javascript client. Here you can read the temperatures and view the schedule. You can override or change the schedule.

possible routes

A cheap circuit like http://www.craig.copperleife.com/tech/thermo/ or more complicated http://www.rentron.com/project01.htm using http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS1620.pdf which can be overridden by server program that controls multiple thermostats.
