Pls help check my hardware support anot?

[Andrea-Fox]

The connections seem correct. Maybe the issue is the sensor. First of all, is it a VL53L1X sensor? If so, in general there is some sort of cover on the sensor. Try removing that.
If then it still doesn't work, try connecting it to a 5v pin

1)Yes...is VL53L1X-V2
1)Soft cover removed
2)Tried use 5v pin...not working

Do u mind show your sensor?

[Andrea-Fox]

Then I really don't know which is the problem.
Maybe the sensor is defective

but i have tried few sensor also same...izzit u sensor same with me?if working izzit serial monitor result 0 will change 1 then 2?

[Andrea-Fox]

Currently I'm using a sensor from Pololu, which is not the one you're using.

When working, in the signal monitor you should read the distance measured by the sensor (in your case, unfortunately, always equal to 0)

Do u mind screen shot your serial monitor?

After soldering sensors working.TQ
i use manual_calibration can count people, when using autocalibration no working...may i noe using autocalibration what mqtt topic should i write?

[Andrea-Fox]

If you are using the code in the file called people_counter_esp32.ino or the one in people_counter_esp8266.ino, you have to subscribe to the topic people_counter/NAME_OF_THE_ROOM/counter, while if you want to read the distance you have to subscribe to the topic people_counter/NAME_OF_THE_ROOM/distance.
To specify the name of the room, you have to change the code in the line indicated in the file

[sanderlv]

same issue maybe here...

successfully flashed but not connecting to wifi and no serial logging in arduino IDE? I do get some on ither serial monitor

Using 'COM16' as serial port.

Maybe u can check few things
1)void setup_wifi()
{
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
{
delay(5000);
Serial.print(".");
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
}
}

Delay from 500 change to 5000

2)Serial monitor set 9600baud

[sanderlv]

Serial monitor was 9600 👍 but I can not get any output?

I changed the 500 to 5000 and it comes alive now... will proceed further with homeassitsant integration etc.

thanks!!

[kentwk]

Make sure to fill in correct information.

[sanderlv]

Yes, that is correct because I am getting mqtt information:

Oh... for my sensor orientation? Do you happen to know like below:
https://github.com/Andrea-Fox/peopleCounter/blob/master/autocalibration/sensor_orientation.png

I have a VL53L1X

[kentwk]

Yes, that is correct because I am getting mqtt information:

https://github.com/Andrea-Fox/peopleCounter/blob/master/autocalibration/sensor_orientation.png

no...I use the manual calibration counting people is working...if using auto calibration no working, no matter what i change MQTT topic also same.

[sanderlv]

for an ESP32 what would I have to use?

https://github.com/Andrea-Fox/peopleCounter/tree/master/manual_calibration

[kentwk]

peopleCounter.ino

[sanderlv]

Hm... that looks complicated for now. i want to try with auto first. I do not see any change on the mqtt tpoic people_counter/tof_people/counter... I do see continuous change on the people_counter/tof_people_ard/distance topic... any tips/suggestion?

[kentwk]

Manual Calibration Setting
1)double-check u serial monitor working anot...if same with my screenshot mean working.then u can next step

2)Go Homeassistant-Congfiguration-Helpers-Add Helper

3)Go Homeassistant-Files Editor-automations.yaml-add below these script

4)Done

[sanderlv]

Yes that works:

but no people are counting yet:

[kentwk]

u using manual calibration or auto calibration?

Follow this Topic
topic: "peopleCounter/serialdata/tx"

[sanderlv]

Auto

[kentwk]

Auto

u try using manual...because auto calibration also no working for me.

[sanderlv]

Sorry but I have read that and I do not know how to start with that manual calibrarion

[kentwk]

Sorry but I have read that and I do not know how to start with that manual calibrarion

just flash the manual calibration files...then follow my step.

[sanderlv]

I flashed https://github.com/Andrea-Fox/peopleCounter/blob/master/manual_calibration/peopleCounter.ino and entered my data but it wont connect to wifi and I see no serial logging...

And not sure what is meant with this:

I do this and get:

[kentwk]

u forgot change wifi delay?

void setup_wifi()
{
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
{
delay(5000);
Serial.print(".");
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
}
}

Delay from 500 change to 5000

[sanderlv]

Don't know how that happened... I did thought I checked it, but probably not well enough.. I get now:

[Andrea-Fox]

Hi, what you are seeing in your last message is the correct behavior. The topic in peopleCounter/serialdata is updated only whenever a passage is detected.
A passage is detected whenever the array of 4 numbers (the one which is in general 0000) is either 0132 or 0231

[kentwk]

Let me conclude my topic...just my soldering problem. TQ
