Venus OS 2.9 #10
Description
VenusOS 2.9 is available, and the instructions here for 2.8 work fine, with the changes below. I am deploying a generic DS18B20 thermometer via GPIO pins.
I had to add the w1 overlays from the Raspbian OS image:
/u-boot/overlays/w1-gpio.dtbo
/u-boot/overlays/w1-gpio-pullup.dtbo
The latter one may not be needed. Note that there is no guarantee these will work, depending on the kernel, but they did!
The other difference was that I had to install pip3 and w1thermsensor as follows, as root on the pi:
opkg install python3-pip
pip3 install w1thermsensor
opkg is VenusOS's minimal package manager, and it appears that the repos Victron points it to have pip3. Then, installing w1thermsensor gives me the python libraries I need. Then deploying the dbus-i2c module using the 2.8 instructions and rebooting the pi make it available in the Venus GUI.
It shows up as a battery sensor, but you can change the name in the GUI.
In few weeks I'll have my battery and see what happens when I add the battery and it's temperature sensor.
