    Intelliflow pump RS485 protocol

    OK, I had a chance to look at this. I made two commits: One removes that dangling #endif and the second one refactors some calls to afLib to match the latest version of the API. You will also need to the following libraries to and need to put them in your Arduino home directory...

    Awesome, here is a picture of the connector used by the VS pump: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NHZD46 Hope this helps

    Intelliflow pump RS485 protocol

    Hi blueman2,   before you send any command you will have to switch the pump into "Control Remote" mode. Once you have completed your command, you need to switch it back to "Control Local". See my previous post here what to do run a specific...

    Intelliflow pump RS485 protocol

    Alright, it's been now a few weeks, but I made some good progress and wanted to share this with you. I can now control my Pentair VS pump from my mobile phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3iz8tXQJtM My test rig is a bit unwieldy at the moment and not ready for permanent use just yet :)   I...

    Thanks, Mark. I'll get one of those flow meters. I do have the VS model, so no flow rate for me then. I was also more interested in seeing the current flow rate than setting it. But what you explained makes total sense. You can set the flow rate, but it's no guaranteed. I just get a flow meter...

    I have no controller at all! :) That's why I was curious about the usage of some of the commands as they seem to do similar things. Michael's code has most commands in it, so I will try them out one after the other and see what they do. The only thing that my pump is not reporting, and I kind of...

    Intelliflow pump RS485 protocol

    This is great, Tag! I also made some progress on the Arduino side and can now reliably control my pump from Arduino's serial monitor.   I used Michael's C code as a base for the various commands and I'm not quite clear about the usage of two CFIs. Namely the difference between writing a...

    Intelliflow pump RS485 protocol

    Thank you for the link, Tag. That is very helpful!   Just a quick update on my progress... I was eventually able to poll my pump's status using Michael's tools. I just compiled the sources using the -m32 flag and suddenly I saw status message coming in from my pump! :)   Now, I'm back to where I...

    Intelliflow pump RS485 protocol

    Hi Mark,   I apologize for not responding earlier. Work got pretty busy and had to shelve this pet project for a while :( The forum also didn't send me a notification that there was a reply *sigh*   Anyway, thank you for finding out about the 64-bit/32-bit issues. I'll setup a 32-bit VM tomorrow...

    Intelliflow pump RS485 protocol

    Yes, I'm compiling on a 64-bit system. I make the educated guess that the dialout bug was fixed by explicitly adding my user to the dialout group. I also tried to run aprs485 as superuser with the same result. I'll let you know what I find when running it under gdb, but I have to read up on that...

    Intelliflow pump RS485 protocol

    Thank you for your reply, Marc! I'll try to answer your questions the best I can:   Do You get any warning messages when compiling? I do get a few warnings when compiling the sources, but I'm not sure if they are related to the segmentation faults I get when the app crashes. They refer to...

    Has anyone successfully compiled and run the PAB014SHARE sources that are referenced on page 2? I can compile them, but when I try to start the server communication server aprs485 it crashes. I tried it on both an Ubuntu Linux and Mac OS 10.10 using a CH341 USB-to-Serial adapter.     Thank you.
