Problem:

Inputs but no updates – emonTH standard? Setup

Setup:

I have a new RFM12Pi v2 and an emonTH purchased from the shop. See pictures attached.

Using the Raspberry Pi Ready to go image from: https://github.com/emoncms/docs/blob/master/raspberrypiimage.md

Wireless distance between at one metres

Running on 433MHz

Using Tesco Extra Long Life Akaline AA 1.5v  batterys – swapped for new numerous times

sending data to emonscms.org

LED solid at emonTH power on then blips 18 (I think – difficult to count) times but then nothing. I though there was a 60sec heartbeat?

Inputs come through at power on of emoTH

I`ve followed: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/modules/emonTH

No values aprt from node19:1 (temperature) at beginning.

No regular updates from any inputs

I ran minicom and rebooted (battery out then in) emonTH

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo service rfm12piphp stop
Log is turned off
Stopping RPI: stopped
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ minicom -b9600 -D/dev/ttyAMA0

See output below.

Solution?

Is the EmonTH faulty or have I set it up wrong?

Thanks
