Brewbit stops reading from Temp Probe

[Rodrigo_Hess]

Hello in the last 24 hours my device has stopped reading the temperature from the temp probe two times. One time I was out of my home and the second time I was asleep.

The first time I unplugged the unit and it started reading again. After aproximately 10 hours it stopped reading again. The display shows "--:-" instead of the temperature. This time I unpluggled the probe and once i plugged it again the device started reading again. I switched the probes to discard any faulty cable or connection.

¿Has anyone experienced something like this?

Cheers,
Rodrigo

When the screen shows the double dashes it means that the unit is not receiving data from the probe. We will look into this though and see if it is a software issue or probe issue.

I just pushed up version 1.4.0 to the unstable channel. This update includes the following:

• NEW: Update to CC3000 SP 1.14 (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Release_Notes#Version_1.14:)
• NEW: Receive time from brewbit server instead of SNTP - one less network connection to worry about.
• FIX: Enable watchdog on sensor and gui threads to prevent sensor lockups.

Please give it a go and let us know if there are any issues.

And hot on the heels of v1.4.0 comes v1.5.0 unstable. The previous version addressed the sensor lockup issue by simply resetting the device when the lockup condition was detected, but did not address the root cause. After weeks chasing this issue, we have FINALLY found and fixed it. Please update when you have a chance. v1.5.0 will most likely be the next version on the stable channel unless we hear of any more major issues.

• NEW: Update to ChibiOS 2.6.7.
• FIX: Reduce required number of touch calibration points.
• FIX: Do not generate touch events when returning from screen saver.
• FIX: Fix null dereference causing lockups and general instability.
