Installation

Questions about installing and configuring a Fluksometer.

Free FLM02A plus power clamp available

My working FLM02A is not in use anymore, but may be of interest for anybody who wants to pick it up in Rotterdam or pay the shipping cost. I cannot just put it in the garbage and hope somebody can use it.

Pulse Width / Gap and Ratio

following on from this thread end of page 1

https://www.flukso.net/content/pulse-output-100impkwh

I ended up with a 5000 pulse/kwh setting and pulse width of 30ms

That has worked fine for me until now.

I have an electric vehicle and also get free power between 11:00-14:00 so can consume over 25kwh

im not 100% sure how to work out the max kWh based on the pulse rate, pulse width and the pulse gap

Based on a pulse rate of 5000
pulse width of 30ms
I get a max of 12kwh? using a formula I created with data below
but its more like I get to about 20kwh before my readings start playing up (guessing im getting overlap) and its reads as no power.

I have set the pulse width to 20ms so I should get a little more before I get overlap and the formula gets it to 18kwh...
also not sure how the pulse gap and duty cycle fits into this?

I will drop my pulse rate of 5000 down if I have to but trying to work out my formula and make sure its correct and how I can somehow get 20kwh from what I have worked out to be 12kwh.
..

 "1 pulse per Wh (1000imp/kWh) => @30ms (50% duty cycle, so also gap at least 30ms - the "window" in which the next pulse may occur) you can detect 1/.06 = 16,67 Wh/sec equiv to 60 kWh (which should be sufficient ;-)) - with 150ms it would be "just" 1/.3 = 3,3 Wh/sec equiv to 12 kWh (which still should be sufficient); calculate for your actual pulses per unit - so with 150 ms you should be more than fine :-)"

Exchanged a FLM003E from my son. Replacing a broken FLM02E. Works fine. However.

I need a new userid with the same email adress. Server naming proc is refusing it.
Locally 192.168.255.1 and root /root I could get into local flukso and adapted the
necessary. Is there another way?Led 0 1 11 1 1 is ethernet without wifi and is OK. §Wifi WAN LAN Eth Beat power
But due to this change I got now Led 0 1 1 0 1 1. Lost ethernet and wifi.

Now all LED's are burning, except Wifi. I toggled 2-5 seconds to get Wifi in, but this doesn't work well. I also lost ethernet and get stuck with a login.
What should I do now to recover ?
Toggle 2-5 again?
fI need wiifi to access the flukso server.

no heartbeat FLM 2

Hi, My Flukso have no more heartbeat after power outage and internet outage. Following older topic https://www.flukso.net/content/no-ip-connect , i want to de-brick my Flukso.
I 'am using Ubuntu version 18.04 but dit not arrive at the last step:
$ wget http://www.flukso.net/files/flm02/tools/ap51-flash ==OK
$ wget http://www.flukso.net/files/flm02/bin/FLM02-1-4/openwrt-atheros-root.squ... ==OK
$ wget http://www.flukso.net/files/flm02/bin/FLM02-1-4/openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.... ==OK
$ sudo ./ap51-flash eth0 openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma ==Not OK

./ap51-flash: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What can i do to solve this ? Did i have to install libpcap.so.0.8 ?

Resurrecting v1.2

Hello
While clearing out the shed I found my ancient V1.2 Flukso. I got it connected, and the website reports a heartbeat and a 101 firmware.

What can be done with a V1.2 nowdays?

Ideally I would like to use the pulse input to monitor water.
