Your pca9685 ic is working ? I have to check if this is a bug in new code.. have you updated reef-pi?

From what I see its failing to initialize the pca9685 driver with mock i2c bus, remote IO error, then failed to initialize controller. It appears to not see your pca 9685 components, can you go into some detail as to what you have configured with your reef-pi or do you have a build thread?

You beat me to the post :), the other thing I was going to mention @Des Westcott are you feeding your pca9685 with a separate power source and have you verified that its still sending power?

I don't have a PCA9685 on this build.

I did use one to test a light a while ago, but I haven't had it connected for 6 months or more.

I'm on Reef-Pi 2.3.

I did Update and Upgrade Raspbian today as well. after I started having a problem.

Verify that on the configuration page that you do not have the pca9685 enabled (de-select if selected), then do a reload and see if that makes a difference. :)

Well, that's the thing, I can't reach the IP address of Reef-Pi. I can log into the Pi over VNC or SSH, but when (in VNC for example) I go to the browser and try log into the IP address i get told that the site can't be reached. When I SSH into the Pi and and check if the service is running, I get this :

So I thought i would try a few things :
  1. I decided to start over. I removed Reef-Pi using sudo apt-get purge
  2. I have resolved the issue with the hostname
  3. I re-installed Reef-Pi using the previously downloaded .deb file
  4. and still have the same issue.

Let's try a different approach, let's uninstall version 2.3 and go and download version 2.2. You have not stated which version of raspberry you are using e.g., zero w or 3+ but be sure to download the reef-pi version that matches.

Install that and see if you get a different result, I'm starting to think it's something that it's something else software wise that was upgraded but haven't figured what that might be yet.

Let's run this command also and paste the output if it's still not working:
Code:
sudo journalctl -fu reef-pi.service

When is the planned release date vor reef-pi 3.0 that includes ph measuring?
Could be a week. Could be two months.

The software authors are working on the functionality but are experiencing bugs. They don’t know when it will be released but are working hard on it. (When not building model railroads)

If I can't break it, it doesn't exist

The best part of software development is when you fix a bug, you find 3 more

OK. I'm on a pi 3+

And all was working fine on 2.3...... until it wasn't.

I'll roll back to 2.2 and see if that changes anything.

Aaaannnnd rolled back to 2.2 and started working again!!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

What info can I give you to help debug what happened?

I'm not sure @Ranjib may have something but 2.3 was a bugfix for the frequency issues with the pca9685 and pwm. I think 2.2 is the more stable release if your not using the pca9685 to drive pwm lighting, hard to say though. I'm running 2.2 and it's solid.

Glad it's back up and working. :)

@Des Westcott one thing could you look at the configuration page and see if you have the pca 9685 enabled, I am curious about that since that is what it was squawking about a lot in the logs.

Let me know what you find, although you are probably starting from scratch unless you saved your database and restoring it so it might be a moot point depending on that.

I'm running 2.3 seems fine, a couple of things aren't working which probably are wiring issues, maybe I should roll back and see if they work again, though I'm not getting errors.

I'm more inclined to believe that 2.3 is pretty much stable, maybe Monday evening I'll check the wiring first and see if that's the problem, 98% sure it is...

Yeah not sure but we saw back a few posting s someone having issues with pi pwm and rolling back to 2.2 solved that one also, not sure what was causing his issues but sounds like it happened after he upgraded the OS, hard to say.
