I assume your are using this for electricity monitoring?

When you say the update time counter changes from green to red.  Does the number continue to increase?  Or does it eventually change back to start from zero again?

Can you see the data on the RaspberryPI?  

Take a look at the troubleshooting part of this page 

http://emoncms.org/site/docs/raspberrypigateway

if you follow those instructions how long is there between data packets ( look for the Info Serial Rx lines (like the bottom one of the image on that page))

What software/script are you running on the Raspberry PI inorder to send the data to your WAMP server?

Many thanks for your replay. To your questions, 

I assume your are using this for electricity monitoring?   Yes, now EmonTX

The time counter  is running further.

Good question,  I see this is 5 minutes.

What software/script are you running on the Raspberry PI inorder to send the data to your WAMP server?  

The Rock Solid Gateway Forwarder  script. On the PC the Emoncms-6.9

What wonders me is that I don’t see the debug lines like are shown in the screen.

On other thin that wonders is that when I put in   python/root/oem_gateway/oemgateway.py --config-file /boot/oemgateway.conf --logfile /root/oem_gateway/oemgateway.log

I become the message   No such file or directory
 

OK,  so your RFM12Pi isn't receiving any data from your EmonTX.

You need to check what data radio setting you have on your emontx and make sure they work with the setting on your RFM12Pi

• All units must use the same frequency
• All units must use the same networkGroup
• Each unit must have its own Node_ID

Many thanks for helping me.

Checking the EmonTX by Arduino serial monitor I get the info;

Everytime I activate the line  Assign inputs to a node group on the input help screen the timecouters starting in green from zero but getting red afters 30 seconds.

Is it so that on the on the input screen the node have the same ID as from the EmonTX board?

Can there be more than one EmonTX board used at the same time?

Lets try to take this a step at a time...

The outputs from your raspberrypi doesn't show any data coming from your EmonTX so 

• First we need to ensure that we are getting sensible readings from your EmonTX.
• Then we can check that your RaspPi is receiving them
• Then we can make sure they are being saved in your database.

You don't say what version of the EmonTX you have.  Is it version 2 or version 3 ( images in the shop if you can't remember), How many clamps are you using?

Your EmonTX, are they the figures you see with the emonTX installed?  As the data "3 3 1 3342" doesn't show you suing any power.  Make sure you have pushed the clamps all the way in until they click.

Thanks again for your help.

I using  the EmonTX V2.   The sript is EmonTx_CT123
I put in 3 CT clamps  and running.

The emontx resetting like that is usually due to the watchdog timing out, so for some reason it is getting stuck somewhere, Its probably getting stuck on sending the data via the rfm12 which happens for the first time 5s after power up once the filters have settled.

That your also not receiving anything on your raspberrypi suggests that its a problem with the rfm12b, try going over the solder joints again it might be a dry joint? or take a picture and share here if your still not sure?

Wauw, I could kiss you all for this.

I re soldered the rfm12 module on the EmonTx and now both are sending. Great.
Because I have 2 EmonTx I did not expecting something like this.
Many thanks for the helping. I’m trying to getting to work over 6 Mons.
 

Thanks again.
