What a shit.
I have checked everything.
When i set an output to 1, i made a loop to wait until the state of this channel is 1. Then i put a time.sleep(1) and when i read the state again, it comes to 0 !!
I think there is a bug somewhere but it is not my job to fix that. I think i will trash this relay board and buy something else

It would be helpful if you post your code in its current state so we can try to see what is wrong.

If the state is reverting to 0, this means either the channel was closed, or the 1014 experienced a detach. Raspberry Pi USB ports are notoriously under-powered, so you may want to check for USB detaches (you can see these in dmesg) - in that case, you probably need a powered hub.

If you need the relays to maintain state across open/close cycles, you should use phidget21 instead of phidget22. Phidget21 support is maintained here: https://www.phidgets.com/docs21/

How do you explain that only one channel of 4 is disconnecting. If my raspberry cut the usb power, it will close the 4 channels ?

I have lost half a day with your 21 library version.

I have made a program that randomly put some ports to 1 or 0, then wait a fews seconds and loop.

The states are not always applied.

This board is really a joke for me.

I wont work with Phidgets

Here is my code:

Code: Select all

from Phidgets.Devices.InterfaceKit import InterfaceKit
import time

class GestionRelais:

    def __init__(self):
        self.carte0 = InterfaceKit()
        self.carte0.openPhidget(REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_BOARD1_SERIAL_NUMBER)
        self.carte0.waitForAttach(10000)

        self.carte1 = InterfaceKit()
        self.carte1.openPhidget(REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_BOARD2_SERIAL_NUMBER)
        self.carte1.waitForAttach(10000)

        self.carte2 = InterfaceKit()
        self.carte2.openPhidget(REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_BOARD3_SERIAL_NUMBER)
        self.carte2.waitForAttach(10000)

    def affiche_etat(self,titre):
        print("%s\t[[%d, %d, %d, %d], [%d, %d, %d, %d], [%d, %d, %d, %d]]" % (
            titre,
            self.get_etat(0, 0), self.get_etat(0, 1), self.get_etat(0, 2), self.get_etat(0, 3),

            time.sleep(0.2)

    def check_etat(self, etat_attendu,titre):
        for carte in range(0,3):
            for port in range(0,4):
                if self.get_etat(carte, port)!=etat_attendu[carte][port]:
                    print("%s=\t%s" % (titre, etat_attendu))
                    self.affiche_etat("actuel=")
                    return

    def set_etat(self,carte,port,etat):

        b_etat = (etat==1)

        while True:
            try:
                if carte==0:
                    self.carte0.setOutputState(port, b_etat)
                elif carte == 1:

                else:
                    return

                # le port ne passe pas immediatement a la valeur indiquee
                # D'ou tempo + boucle de verification
                time.sleep(0.1)

                if self.get_etat(carte, port)==etat:

            time.sleep(0.2)

gestion = GestionRelais()

mem_etat = [[gestion.get_etat(0, 0), gestion.get_etat(0, 1), gestion.get_etat(0, 2), gestion.get_etat(0, 3)],
            [gestion.get_etat(1, 0), gestion.get_etat(1, 1), gestion.get_etat(1, 2), gestion.get_etat(1, 3)],
            [gestion.get_etat(2, 0), gestion.get_etat(2, 1), gestion.get_etat(2, 2), gestion.get_etat(2, 3)]]


while True:

    raz = random.randint(0,20)
    if raz==0:
        # print("RAZ")
        mem_etat = [ [0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0] ]
        for carte in range(0,3):
            for port in range(0,4):
                gestion.set_etat(carte,port,0)
        gestion.check_etat(mem_etat, "err raz")
        continue
    elif raz==1:
        # print("TOUT A 1")
        mem_etat = [ [1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,1] ]
        for carte in range(0,3):
            for port in range(0,4):
                gestion.set_etat(carte,port,1)
        gestion.check_etat(mem_etat, "err tout")
        continue

    carte = random.randint(0,2)
    port = random.randint(0,3)
    etat = random.randint(0,1)
    tempo = float(random.randint(1,100))

    if mem_etat[carte][port] == etat:
        continue

    # print("Changement etat carte=%d port=%d etat=%d" % (carte, port, etat))

    # gestion.affiche_etat("etat avant")
    mem_etat[carte][port] = etat
    gestion.set_etat(carte,port,etat)
    # gestion.affiche_etat("etat apres")

    gestion.check_etat(mem_etat,"err avant")
    time.sleep(tempo/10.0)
    # gestion.check_etat(mem_etat,"err apres")
And here is what i get after 1 hour:

I just ran your code on my Windows computer for an hour with no errors. I agree with Patrick, the errors you're seeing likely have to do with a power issue on the Pi's USB hub causing the Phidgets to drop in and out. I recommend using an externally powered USB hub to ensure that each Phidget is getting the full 5V/500mA that USB is specified for.

How can i track a channel disconnexion ?
The documentation is very poor

Look at "setOnDetachHandler" in our API documentation, and look at how it's used in every python code sample:

Code: Select all

def DigitalOutputDetached(self):
    detached = self
    try:
        print("\nDetach event on Port %d Channel %d" % (detached.getHubPort(), detached.getChannel()))
    except PhidgetException as e:
        print("Phidget Exception %i: %s" % (e.code, e.details))
        print("Press Enter to Exit...\n")
        readin = sys.stdin.read(1)
        exit(1)   
This event will trigger whenever a channel is closed intentionally, physically disconnected, or detaching due to loss of power. You need to register the event handler to the object using setOnDetachHandler(DigitalOutputDetached) in this case.
