A housing for the MDB2Pi (and the MDB2Pi itself) is available at the Abrantix Web Shop: http://blog.abrantix.com/webshop/product/mdb-to-raspberrypi/. Alternatively, you can download a free 3D model here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2209661

|

|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
Enable UART and RTC by adding the following lines to /boot/config.txt:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
enable_uart=1
|
||||
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf8563
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
disable serial console output:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
--> remove the "console=..." parameter
|
||||
|
||||
## MDB Master and Cashless Device Demo:
|
||||
Install mono runtime:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt-get install mono-runtime
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get the Demo code:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
wget https://secure.abrantix.com/downloads/MDBConverter/MDBConverter.zip
|
||||
unzip MDBConverter.zip
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
How to run the Master Demo:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd MDBConverter
|
||||
mono MDBMasterSimulatorConsole.exe /dev/serial0 115200
|
||||
```
|
||||
-> For master operation, please make sure to set the DIP Switch to ON-OFF-OFF-ON-ON
|
||||
|
||||
How to run the Cashless Device Demo:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd MDBConverter
|
||||
mono MDBCashlessDeviceSimulatorConsole.exe /dev/serial0 115200
|
||||
```
|
||||
-> For slave operation, please make sure to set the DIP Switch to OFF-ON-ON-OFF-OFF
|
||||
|
||||
Hint: On newer raspbian releases, the serial port is available as /dev/serial0 - older releases may use dev/ttyAMA0.
|
||||
|
||||
## RTC
|
||||
A PCF8563 I2C chip in conjunction with a SuperCapacitor is used for Real-Time-Clock capability (no battery required). This allows buffering of the time up to 7 days when fully charged (or even more, depending on environment temperature and chip/capacitor variance).
|
||||
|
||||
Read the RTC:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo hwclock -r
|
||||
Thu 04 May 2017 06:22:13 UTC -0.310218 seconds
|
||||
```
|
||||
Write the RTC:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo hwclock -w
|
||||
```
|
||||
RTC Troubleshooting:
|
||||
Check if the chip responds over I2C:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo i2cdetect -y 1
|
||||
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
|
||||
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
|
||||
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
|
||||
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
|
||||
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
|
||||
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
|
||||
50: -- UU -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
|
||||
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
|
||||
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
|
||||
```
|
||||
Check dmesg for RTC
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dmesg | grep rtc
|
||||
[ 2.937443] rtc-pcf8563 1-0051: chip found, driver version 0.4.4
|
||||
[ 2.943665] rtc-pcf8563 1-0051: rtc core: registered rtc-pcf8563 as rtc0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Hint: In case that the SuperCap has fully discharged, the daemon might be unable to talk to the RTC at first startup:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dmesg | grep rtc
|
||||
[ 2.900119] rtc-pcf8563 1-0051: chip found, driver version 0.4.4
|
||||
[ 2.900403] rtc-pcf8563 1-0051: pcf8563_write_block_data: err=-5 addr=0e, data=03
|
||||
[ 2.900428] rtc-pcf8563 1-0051: pcf8563_probe: write error
|
||||
[ 2.900459] rtc-pcf8563: probe of 1-0051 failed with error -5
|
||||
```
|
||||
In this case, please wait a few minutes to let the SuperCap recharge, then restart your pi so the RTC daemon can detect the chip again.
