RevPi DIO not Configured in Connect 5

[Ibrahimma]

Hi, We have RevPi Connect 5 and RevPi DIO and already configured in Pictory.

And the problem is when we restart the device and check in terminal with "piTest -d", it says found 2 devices, in Connect 5 the module is present but in RevPi DIO -> the Module is present but NOT CONFIGURED !!

We already doing configured in multiple times, but when restart it says same.
Can someone help me what am I missing step to make Connect 5 compatible with DIO?
Thankyou

We also trace the file of _config.rsc but in my case it just save in folder pictory :

this is the result of terminal
pi@RevPi144694:/var/www/revpi/pictory/projects$ ls
_config.rsc expo.rsc pictory_configcheck.log _README.txt test.rsc _userSettings.json

but there isn'tyaa file config in /etc/revpi/. it just :

pi@RevPi144694:/$ ls /etc/revpi/
factory-reset image-release

This is case is just found revpi connect 5. before this revpi we never found this case.

Looking forward for your reply, Thank you

Hi,
I would like to ask:
After configuring in piCtory, do you save the project and perform a driver restart?
This step is important to ensure that the RevPi uses the configuration.

You can find this in the documentation https://revolutionpi.com/documentation/ ... figuration.

Here is a quick summary:

• Save the configuration as the start configuration via File -> Save as Start-Config. The start configuration will be loaded automatically after each boot.

• Alternatively, use File > Save As to save the configuration as an additional file on your RevPi base module.

Code: Select all

Restart the driver via Tools > Reset Driver.

After these steps, the RevPi system should be configured.
You can save the project in the path you prefer, but after loading the project in piCtory, you always need to Save as Start-Config and restart the driver to apply the configuration.

Please let us know if this solves the issue, or if you need further assistance!

Thank you.

Hi RamiGspo,

We have already saved and reset the driver. but after the reset, when we check in the terminal, the result is still the same: 'DIO module not configured'. We've done this several times, but the result remains the same.

After further investigation, we found that PiCtory saves the configuration in a different location, not in /etc/revpi/. We also saved with as start-config in pictory. but after reset driver still "DIO module not Configured"

I have got possible solutions from :
viewtopic.php?t=2563
viewtopic.php?t=4783

After we read that forum post, we see the config not saved in <etc/revpi/>. After some research we create the config.rsc in etc/revpi/ so the config can save in etc/revpi/ and doing well job.

but we wanna ask you, why pictory cannot saved in etc/revpi/? Is there any step we missed?

Looking forward for your reply, Thank you

The file /etc/revpi/config.rsc links to /var/www/revpi/pictory/projects/_config.rsc by default. I must assume that something deleted that symlink on your system (that's why I asked for the ls -l /etc/revpi). Without this link the piControl driver wont pick up the configuration and thus don't know about any configured modules.

On a normal system it looks like:

Code: Select all

pi@revpi:~ $ ls -l /etc/revpi/config.rsc 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Apr 25 09:05 /etc/revpi/config.rsc -> /var/www/revpi/pictory/projects/_config.rsc

You can easily restore the symlink with: sudo ln -s /var/www/revpi/pictory/projects/_config.rsc /etc/revpi/config.rsc
