Is it possible he hasn't grouped the KPL? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@garybixler, From whatever computer you are sshing FROM: scp pi@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:~/Console/xml.dump ~/ That is secure copy from user pi on xxx.xxx.xxx.xx in the home folder , sub Console to your home folder on the local machine. Jeff

@garybixler, I have found that, after the reboot, most of the time it does not run installconsole.sh. I usually have to manually run that the same way I did the pisetup.sh. It will ask some of the same questions, but then I am able to start the service using sudo systemctl start softconsole. If installconsole.sh is still in /boot (or maybe pi home directory) then it didn't run. If it isn't there but rather ~/consoleinstallleftovers then it did run and something else is probably wrong. Jeff

@kck, Here is what i found from the hyperpixel4.dts: fragment@4 { target-path = "/"; __overlay__ { rpi_backlight: rpi_backlight { compatible = "gpio-backlight"; gpios = <&gpio 19 0>; default-on; }; }; };

Kevin, Ok, you broached it. Here are 3 use cases I wonder if are currently possible: 1. A Keypad that opens a screen. that isn't in a chain. Button turns on/off Fan-Medium scene. Doube tap = go to fan speed selection screen 2. A burron that increments a variable +1 each press. That variable tells the therrmostats to temporaily drop the ac by 2 degrees. vaiable decrements each hour (in ISY). and the button on SC reflects the current hours left 3. Seasonal screens / buttons. I have 2 keypad buttons that turn on holiday lights. Only needed 1 Dec - 1 Jan. What do you think? Also, can you use the same ISY device in multiple places? I tried and it erred out but my formatting was probably off. Also, during the console load it report it fails loading some scene components, namely Hue bridge items. What is the implication to the console? WIll i be able use these scenes? One more thing since we took out dimming, the screen never goes blank (powersave, or whatever). Should it still go blank at some point? Jeff PS - Setting the dimming mode to PWM doesn't err out but it also doesn't dim the screen.

Applying the scaling seems to have nailed it. It's close enough for governement work. I'll give you a break but then I have many more ?'s about configurations and possibilities. Oh and it auto starts now. Thanks again! If I ever overnight in PDX I'll buy you a beer. or 12, whatever. Jeff

@kck Attached is the /boot/config.txt. This file is modified during driver install. The drivers are from: https://github.com/pimoroni/hyperpixel4 In the vertical I am concerned because the top of the button appears to be correct. But the Time/Date navigation buttons work about 1/2 way down the screen. So it is scrunched moreso than offset. Does that make sense? Jeff config.txt

Also, capacitive was misspelled. However, the console runs and makes the test button. And it turns stuff off. But the touch is off by quite a bit now. Worse than prior. The bottom 1/3 is shifted up. And everything is shifted right a little bit. But progress! Thank you so much. Jeff Actually it appears the vertical is squished into the top 1/2 maybe

When I fixed the location in touchhandler.py I got the error in the spot is posted above.

@kck, FYI there are spelling errors in line 124 of touchhandler.py. Should read 'Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen' It erred again, looks like the spelling in the touchhandler.py is used elsewhere and is incorrect. I'm not sure where that spelling error is, but here is the log: pi@SoftConsoleTest:~/consolebeta $ sudo python -u console.py 06-28-19 21:56:30 Console ( 1866) starting in /home/pi/consolebeta {'28r': ['/dev/fb1', 'fbcon', 'PWM'], '35r': ['/dev/fb1', 'fbcon', 'PWM'], 'pi7': ['/dev/fb0', 'fbcon', 'Pi7'], 'Name ': [' Device Path ', ' Driver ', ' DimType'], 'pimoroni4': ['/dev/fb0', 'fbcon', 'None'], '28c': ['/dev/fb1', 'fbcon', 'PWM']} Screen: pimoroni4 Device: /dev/fb0 Driver: fbcon Dim: None {'generic ft5x06 (11)': ['True', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1.0', '1.0'], 'FT5406 memory based driver': ['True', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1.0', '1.0'], 'stmpe-ts': ['False', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1.0', '1.0'], 'Goodix Capactivie Touchscreen': ['True', '-324', '303', '0', '0', '1.0', '1.0'], 'ControllerName': ['cap(True/False)', 'shiftx', 'shifty', 'flipx', 'flipy', 'scalex', 'scaley'], 'EP0110M09': ['True', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1.0', '1.0']} Traceback (most recent call last): File "console.py", line 148, in <module> utilities.InitializeEnvironment() File "/home/pi/consolebeta/utilities.py", line 107, in InitializeEnvironment ts = Touchscreen() File "/home/pi/consolebeta/touchhandler.py", line 151, in __init__ self._f_device = io.open(self._touch_device(), 'rb', self.EVENT_SIZE) File "/home/pi/consolebeta/touchhandler.py", line 305, in _touch_device raise RuntimeError('Unable to locate touchscreen device') RuntimeError: Unable to locate touchscreen device 06-28-19 21:56:30 Exiting with history trace (0) 1879(1561776991.5578496): Logger loop ended

@kck, So, completed all of the directions. Using the systemctl it shows as started but nothing happens. Here is the log: pi@SoftConsoleTest:~ $ systemctl status softconsole ● softconsole.service - SoftConsole Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/softconsole.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-06-28 21:36:40 CDT; 10s ago Process: 1277 ExecStart=/home/pi/consolestable/runconsole.py (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 1274 ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 5 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1278 (python3) CGroup: /system.slice/softconsole.service └─1278 python3 console.py Jun 28 21:36:34 SoftConsoleTest systemd[1]: Starting SoftConsole...

@kck as soon as I get the kids to bed I will try this. Jeff

@kck OK, something must have happened. All of my files are blank. None of the scripts have any characters. Not sure what happened. Even the README.md is blank. Jeff

@kck I don't think I did anything to runconsole.py. I just did a git pull. I got the console to run via SSH and via VNC to the running desktop (5900). If I execute via VNC (5901) then it doesn't start reliably. However, now nothing happens no matter what. When I run "sudo python -u console.py" nothing happens at all from anywhere. One of the changes we made borked something. Jeff

@kck Nothing different minutes later. That log was minutes after a reboot. The rpi never goes into the console. it just sits at the command prompt. Jeff

@kck I am running it in landscape. Here is the systemctl status after eliminating one of the execstarts: softconsole.service - SoftConsole Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/softconsole.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (start-pre) since Thu 2019-06-27 22:56:51 CDT; 1s ago Process: 528 ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/consolestable/runconsole.py (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Cntrl PID: 560 (sleep) CGroup: /system.slice/softconsole.service └─control └─560 /bin/sleep 5 Jun 27 22:56:51 SoftConsoleTest systemd[1]: Starting SoftConsole... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Jeff

While I am proficient in old, crappy programming languages (VisualBasic) I am not learned on anything newer. Where would be a good place to start learning python, javascript, or anything new? Jeff

@kck, @garybixler I have the same issue. Console won't auto-start. Jeff

Yes, pi7 as screen type and "Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen" in touchhandler.py. I don't know if this will help, but here is the output from xinput-calibrator: Jeff

@kck As a bit more data, there were errors with the latest stretch on X. The calibration was way off. I solved the issue by adding the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf: Section "InputClass" Identifier "calibration" MatchProduct "Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen" Option "TransformationMatrix" "1.69 0 -0.68 0 0.63 0.38 0 0 1" EndSection Don't know if that means anything to you or could help.

@kck Ok, I'm an idiot. Stupid capitalization error. On line 122 I didn't capitalize the S in TouchScreen. Now I have a functioning console. However, the right call it 1/4 to 1/5 of the screen isn't responsive to touch. Looks like the calibration is a slightly off. Also, left of the test button still activates the button, even though it shouldn't. Possibly the touchscreen is "shifted" left relative to the image by actually about 1/8 of the width of the screen. Jeff

@kck Made the change to 'pass'. This led to the following error: 06-26-19 21:36:18 Console ( 2130) starting in /home/pi/consolestable Traceback (most recent call last): File "console.py", line 143, in <module> utilities.InitializeEnvironment() File "/home/pi/consolestable/utilities.py", line 105, in InitializeEnvironment ts = Touchscreen() File "/home/pi/consolestable/touchhandler.py", line 137, in __init__ self._f_device = io.open(self._touch_device(), 'rb', self.EVENT_SIZE) File "/home/pi/consolestable/touchhandler.py", line 270, in _touch_device raise RuntimeError('Unable to locate touchscreen device') RuntimeError: Unable to locate touchscreen device 06-26-19 21:36:18 Exiting with history trace (0) mvtops exception: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Current/' 2192(1561602979.6633866): Logger loop ended I am attaching one of the log files. looks a lot like the "Exiting with history trace" line. 0-06-25-19 22:38:02

@kck Short of pulling the plug, how do I stop they running console via VNC/SSH?

@kck, Switched back to "custom" from "pi7" and console ran (left "Goodix Capacitive Touchscreen" in touchhandler.py). Still no touch. Jeff
