help with robo-tank app

Ah, that makes sense about the icons, so it's just the inverting option that's not working, that should be an easy fix. I was wondering why I haven't heard of this yet, I think everyone is using high trigger relays. That's interesting you couldn't get them to switch, 3.3v should have be plenty.

Sounds good on the light modes.

Everytime I add a second PCA9685 it keeps adding 7 undefined outputs in the configure ports tab and when I add the third PCA9685 it only adds 9 outputs. Tried deleting from the database in phpadmin but no luck so I just reloaded v6.0 again and still did the same thing.

When I look at the database in phpadmin under the pinsAvailable tab it only shows 16 pins assigned to that driver. Is it because I'm not enabling all 16pins when I set it up? Also it keeps assigning the same driverID (48) to it? If I change the driverID would that force the JS to redraw the Configure Ports Advanced tab?

There's nothing you can do to get the 2nd working, some changes need to be made in the code. I made some changes to how the pins are managed which broke it so I kind of expected this.

Hi rob, i reinstalled v6.0 and upgrade 6.3. Ac power not working. No button work. For exemple on acpower 1: i found 0v on all outputs except output 4 :3.3v and buttons have no action.

Ok, makes sense. Anything I can change easily on my end to correct the issue? Possible that this will be fixed in 6.4? Not crazy important right now cause I won't need lights for about a month while the tank cycles (getting ready to put water in this weekend), but will definitely need them to work soon.

Separate issue with the PCA, I added one and set up light modes...worked great on all 7 channels. Added the second light (3rd PCA) and set up light modes and now neither of them work when I move the sliders. Assume this is related to the pin management issue you described above??

Thanks again for all the work.

I restart pi with db9 unplugged and it’s work. All output on/Off with buttons work. Just the function inverted not work

@zfreak_1125 nothing you can change right now, I have to look into it to see what the problem actually is. I can't guarantee it'll be fixed for 6.4 but will see. The other issue sounds related as there's multiple pca9685's. Even though some pins show up it'll cause issues.

@tutuss21, thats great, thanks for letting me know.
