PDA-P4 Support

[kamaleddin]

Hello,

I haven' been successful in either running or compiling this project. Is my model, PDA-P4, supported? It seems that the section regarding upgrading PDA chipsets has been removed from the wiki.

I was able to compile the slog separately and get this output. It seems that it does pick up my pump but it doesn't pick up my heater, SWG and the light.

Great project and awesome work none the less.

serial logger will only pickup what's running on the RS485 buss, so light will never be seen (no lights are RS485), and SWG only if it's on and running at the same time slog is executing. Heater would be seen if it's a RS485 heater (many are not wired up in that mode even if they support it).
So your output looks good. You should be able to use that information to configure aqualinkd.conf and start from there.

The id 0x60 is listed twice, so the PDA remote was probably in sleep mode then woke while slog was being executed.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I keep getting the following error when I try to compile the project. not sure what I am doing wrong

Since you are using a PI, the binary’s in the repo should work.

but the error looks like you have an old or missing header, have you modified anything from the repo / got a clean copy?

Somewhat a duplicate of #155. I can see that you are trying to compile under OS: 11 (bullseye) and that is known not to compile. I have a pull request to fix this #156 as well as another request to fix new warnings in bullseye #174

You can try my fork with these pulls merged https://github.com/ballle98/AqualinkD/wiki#install

It also look like you are not using the default "make clean; make"

You have different -D defines
gcc -Wall -O3 -D AQ_PDA -D MG_DISABLE_MD5 -D MG_DISABLE_HTTP_DIGEST_AUTH -D MG_DISABLE_MD5 -D MG_DISABLE_JSON_RPC -c aqualinkd.c -o aqualinkd.o

Than what I see when I build:
gcc -Wall -O3 -D AQ_PDA -D AQ_ONETOUCH -D AQ_IAQTOUCH -D AQ_RS16 -D MG_DISABLE_MD5 -D MG_DISABLE_HTTP_DIGEST_AUTH -D MG_DISABLE_MD5 -D MG_DISABLE_JSON_RPC -c aqualinkd.c -o aqualinkd.o

thank you, sir. I already used your fork and it worked incredibly well. Also, I was the one who opened the SWG issue for your fork:D
