I just revved everything, nodelink had been non functional on my pi for some reason, reboot cured it.

I have packet format set to 14 on the gem but I am getting:

2017-12-05 22:47:25 - GEM Decode Error - Unknown Format [gem]

I changed to packet format 2 instead of 14 and that seemed to fix any gem errors.

I'll take a look; lately I'm seeing some decode errors on my GEM too.  Maybe once an hour.

These errors may be releated to me looking at the gem:8000 web page (which makes sense now i think about it, i hadn't looked at my gem / nodelink since april so i was getting forgetful! not sure...

It definitely would.

Anytime you visit 8000 it sends the webpage data to NodeLink too.

 

Bluntly, the network comm aspect of the GEM is rediculous.

i think you have the same v1 ethernet/wifi combo board i have.... it just is too fragile...

Nah, mines V2 but it's still a disaster.

The board itself is just a cheapo interface to convert serial to ethernet. It also has a number of security issues which Brultech have no control over cause they don't write the firmware.

 

I've started playing with adding serial support to NodeLink and connected a Pi RS232 adapter diretly to the GEM com. If i get it working I'm ripping the combo board out.

Thanks IOGuy

I just spent 3 hours figuring out why my GEM V2 wouldn’t send to Nodelink. Reboot and re-installing fixed

Well for a few minutes. Broke again
