Install gnuplot
sudo apt-get install gnuplot
add -r Retries option to driver wrappers
The maximum number of retries to read a sensor before giving up can be specified.
The shell script wrappers around the sensor drivers (dht22.sh, hx711.sh, hx711py.sh, etc) now accept a -r retries command line argument.
#
# Get the command line options (which device/GPIO pin to read), maximum number of times to try reading the sensor
#
while getopts "d:r:" option
do
case "${option}"
in
d) DEVICE=${OPTARG};;
r) MAXRETRIES=${OPTARG};;
esac
done
#
# If max number of retires not specified, default to 10
#
if [ -z $MAXRETRIES ]
then
MAXRETRIES=10
fi
#echo "DEVICE = $DEVICE"
#echo "MAXRETRIES = $MAXRETRIES"
#
# Loop up to MAXRETRIES times trying to read the sensor
#
DATA_GOOD=0
COUNTER=0
while [ $COUNTER -lt $MAXRETRIES ] && [ $DATA_GOOD -eq 0 ]
do
In config.pl, the -r1 option is added to the command line when the driver is called:
if ( $hive_weight_sensor eq "cpw200plus" ) {
$raw_hive_weight=`/usr/bin/sudo /home/hivetool/cpw200plus.sh -r1 -d $hive_weight_device`;
}
elsif ( $hive_weight_sensor eq "HX711") {
$raw_hive_weight=`/usr/bin/sudo /home/hivetool/hx711.sh -r1 2>&1`;
}
elsif ( $hive_weight_sensor eq "HX711py") {
$raw_hive_weight=`/usr/bin/sudo /home/hivetool/hx711py.sh -r1 2>&1`;
}

Web Server
Configure apache
- Link the cgi.load and include.load module to mods-enabled
- ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/cgi.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
- ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/include.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
- Add .pl to AddHandler cgi-script
- sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mime.conf
- uncomment #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi (around line 219) and add ".pl .py" so it looks like:
- AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .py
- add Includes and +ExecCGI to Options:
- sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
- In stanza <Directory /var/www/>
- change
- Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
- to
- Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
- Add index.shtml to DirectoryIndex:
- sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
- Change
- DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
- to
- DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm index.shtml
- Set up apache to listen on port 8080 if using port forwarding:
- sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf
- add Listen 8080
- Copy 000-default.conf to sites-enabled and add port 8080
- cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
- Edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf and add port 8080
