Re: Counting pulses from an electricity meter

Is the PC software still running after you get ECONNABORTED? I am writing directly to InfluxDB, no software involved. The original scenario was using a Raspberry Pi running InfluxDB but yesterday I installed InfluxDB on a laptop and everything worked fine for about 5 hours, which is over 70,000 suc...

Perhaps 4Hz is too fast for your peer/database.
I checked the InfluxDB logs and the entries just stop with no error. I am running this on a Feather Huzzah so the hardware should be reliable. Is there any way to recover from an ECONNABORTED or debug it further?

Counting pulses from an electricity meter

I intend using the following code to read the pulses coming from an electricity meter to calculate instantaneous power and total consumption. I have a photodiode connected to an ADS1015 A/D converter (many thanks to Roberthh for his modifications to the driver) and everything is working fine on the ...

Re: Door sensor with ESP8266

You may have problems with GPIO1 as it is the RX pin. It is high at boot and boot will fail if it's held low at boot time.

This is a good reference for which GPIO's you should use on the ESP8266

Re: Pyboard machine.deepsleep not waking from RTC, PA0, PC13 when other ICs have power

Could it be that when the other IC's are powered that they are preventing wake from deep sleep by holding Pyboard inputs high or low somehow? Just a quick idea.

Re: ESP32 crashes with Micropython with simple test program

+1 for the supply problem. I have an ESP32 module here that refuses to run off a normal USB socket on my laptop. If I use an adapter attached to the USB C socket it works fine.

Re: "OSError: [Errno 103] ECONNABORTED" what to do?

I think you should be using the POST method

Code: Select all

resp = urequests.post('http://192.168.100.3/input_data/?temp='+str(bmp.temperature)+'&pressure='+str(bmp.pressure)+'&vl=1')
resp.close()

This is also an interesting device: https://www.numworks.com/
Although, for pocket calculators I stick to HP and RPN
That does look interesting, the price is reasonable too. I only use RPN after owning a HP41C many years ago. Today I use an Android app.
