Problem with A10-SOC-alike pcDuino-Lite

[Subraid]

Hello Mr. Pasternak,

a few weeks ago I have, in the course of home-automatisation, bought an ELV Homematic WDC-7000 weather station.
Now, a few days ago, I stumbled over your program "Meteohub ".

Unfortunately, the hardware components listed on the Meteohub homepage are no longer available (my favorite was the "Mini X"), too slow or too expensive.
In the forum I found a post (viewtopic.php?f=53&t=9419), which confirms the functionality using a "PCDuino board" (with 1GB RAM).
Since I have a PCDunino-Lite Board (512MB RAM) (http://www.pcduino.com/?page_id=1707) around, I directly tried this with the Mini X -ISO (for the 512 MB version).

The system boots without problems, the update was found, and also installed easily (it is now running version 4.9 V).

Unfortunately, the USB port doesn't recognize the weather station (direct connection and plugging multiple USB hubs (1.x and 2.0) in between were tried).

Therefore I would be very glad if you or anybody else can help me?
The pcDunio-Lite board might also functioning in your hardware list for Meteohub as a good "top-seller" with only 39,- EUROs.
I would like to lend you the board for development purposes if needed.

I would like to have not just Meteoplug used ( which I would then probably use due to the cheap and available hw when pcDuino is not working) but in addition also the local storage by Meteohub would be appreciated.

Thanks and best regards
Boris

Unfortunately, the USB port doesn't recognize the weather station (direct connection and plugging multiple USB hubs (1.x and 2.0) in between were tried).

At the moment i have "only" a currentcost envy directly attached on my PcDuino 1GB. No hub needed. Maybe simply a power source issue?

Code: Select all

-bash-4.2# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

I still not found the time to migrate from my trustworthy ALIX. I made some short tests lately:
Both systems have around 1000BogoMIBS, but for example PI with 4000 digits calculated with bc

Code: Select all

time echo "scale=4000; a(1)*4" | bc -l

PCDuino:

Code: Select all

real	1m51.639s
user	1m21.270s
sys	0m4.390s

ALIX:

Code: Select all

real	5m18.026s
user	3m51.518s
sys	0m0.068s

And i ordered a Dual-Core A20 Olimexino too: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/ will also test with meteohub.
