Re: dials unreadable
The meter is inside one of those plastic garden boxes with removable cover. Never any sun. So a little below ground level. I discovered a couple weeks ago that the moles/gophers had dug up around it (inside the box) so I dug out a couple gallons of wed mud and moved the mud to the other end of the p...

dials unreadable
My EKM-SPWM-100 dials are covered by some drops and misting inside the transparent window (meaning water/misting is on the window itself). Any suggestions on now to deal with that (so I can read the dials again)?

Re: Read iSerial v.4 suddenly stopped
With instructions from ekmmetering (Seth) to reset the iSerial, I set it up with my info (static ip and the serial settings from the original iSerial documentation pages). Attached it to power, ethernet, and the Pulse and it all works now (and so does my reader software). Both EKM Dash (latest 64bit...

Read iSerial v.4 suddenly stopped
Been reading water data (my own code, C) since 2014. Linux, Ubuntu 20.04. All been working perfectly. iSerial has a static IP on my local net. Ping to it works. Omnimeter Pulse v.4 iSerial v.2 Since February 25 2022, 8:30AM (PST) writing a request to iserial seems to still work, but read fails. I sw...

Re: iSerial access gets Malformed Packet
Very helpful link, JayDee. Thanks. It will be a few days (at least)
before I can look at this further. But you provided important
hints. Thanks again.

iSerial access gets Malformed Packet
I was watching packets on my home network and noticed something odd sent from ekm iSerial v.4. I am getting good values, so the oddity seems harmless. I just thought I would mention it here in case someone has a suggestion as to what the oddity might mean. I've done this with my own software (in C) ...

Re: Example accessing meter
That tar file is now gone, a bit out of date.
The water.html page links to an updated tar file.

Example accessing meter
I've put example code which accesses my EKM water meter in http://www.prevanders.net/ekmexample.tar (the tar file comtains C and Python source). It is written for Linux/Unix but might be of some value for people using other OS's. Source license is BSD. http://www.prevanders.net/water.html shows a li...

Re: setting Pulse v.4. Not yet getting it right.
Finally realized input number 11 is PulseCount 3. Now I am getting counts. Dash is working ok (would be nice if hovering over a toolbar symbol would print it's purpose, a tooltip), but that is just a nice idea. Dash is working, I set the pulse ratio to 1 and the Pulse v.4 window to display pulse cou...

Re: setting Pulse v.4. Not yet getting it right.
Oh my. To my astonishment the spelling of the executable name is critical to getting dash to work. I renamed "EKM Dash" to "EKMDash" with no space as spaces in names are really annoying to script and...that did not work. I changed the name back to "EKM Dash" with the sp...
