Possible bug on Grove Pi

Hi

I have been working with the Grove Pi for only some days, but have worked with the RPi for about a year and have done a few projects.
I really like the Grove Pi as I can do things better and faster.

So I have been building a setup to measure air quality using the sensors for Humidity&Temperature and Dust.
I was trying to add the light and sound sensors, but eventhough I get output - its the same.
Somehow I think the data from the sound sensor is copied to the light sensor.
First I setup the light sensor to A2 and sound to A0. Same data was collected.
Then I moved the lightsensor to A1, but didnt update the code to reflect it. Same data was collected.
Then I updated the code. Same data was collected.

So what I conclude from this is that the data from the soundsensor is applied to the lightsensor. Either in code, firmware or hardware.

This is my code:

from __future__ import print_function
import paho.mqtt.publish as publish
import psutil
import string
import random
import time
import grovepi
import atexit
from grove_rgb_lcd import *
from grovepi import *


#Setting up sensors
atexit.register(grovepi.dust_sensor_dis)
sensor = 7 #D7
LightSensor = 1 #A2
SoundSensor = 0 #A0
LED_green = 4 #D4
LED_red = 3 #D3
pinMode(LED_green,"OUTPUT")
pinMode(LED_red,"OUTPUT")
grovepi.dust_sensor_en()
last_sound=0

#Setting up data to write data to Thingspeak
string.alphanum='1234567890avcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzxABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
channelID = "XXXXXXXXX"
writeAPIKey = "XXXXXXXXX"
mqttHost = "mqtt.thingspeak.com"
mqttUsername = "TSMQTTRpiDemo"
mqttAPIKey ="XXXXXXXXX"
tTransport = "websockets"
tPort = 80
topic = "channels/" + channelID + "/publish/" + writeAPIKey


while True:
        try:

                #Set green operation
                digitalWrite(LED_green,1)
                digitalWrite(LED_red,0)

                #Gather data from sensors
                [new_val,lowpulseoccupancy] = grovepi.dustSensorRead()
                [temp,hum] = grovepi.dht(sensor,0)
                light_intensity = grovepi.analogRead(LightSensor)
                sound_level = grovepi.analogRead(SoundSensor)
                
                if sound_level > 0:
                        last_sound=sound_level

                #Prep connection to Thingspeak
                clientID=''
                # Create a random clientID.
                for x in range(1,16):
                        clientID+=random.choice(string.alphanum)

                #To avoid posting empty data as "0" from the dust sensor. New_val means there is new data
                if new_val:
                
                        #Show data
                        print ("Temp =", temp, "C & Humidity =", hum,"% & Dust consentrantion =",lowpulseoccupancy," & Light =",light_intensity," & Sound =",last_sound)

                        #Prepare data for use on LCD & Thingspeak
                        t = str(temp)
                        h = str(hum)
                        d = str(lowpulseoccupancy)
                        l = str(light_intensity)
                        s = str(last_sound)

                        # build the payload string for Thingspeak
                        payload = "field1=" + t + "&field2=" + h + "&field3=" + d + "&field4=" + l + "&field5=" + s

                        # attempt to publish data to the topic on Teamspeak.
                        try:
                                publish.single(topic, payload, hostname=mqttHost, transport=tTransport, port=tPort,auth={'username':mqttUsername,'password':mqttAPIKey})
                                print (" Published to Teamspeak to host: " , mqttHost , " clientID= " , clientID)

                        except (KeyboardInterrupt):
                                break
                        except:
                                print ("There was an error while publishing the data.")
                                digitalWrite(LED_green,0)
                                digitalWrite(LED_red,1)

                        #Set LCD color
                        setRGB(0,128,64)
                        setRGB(0,0,255)
                        #Print on LCD
                        setText("T:" + t + "C" + " H:" + h + "%" + " Dust:" + d + "psc/L")

                #Wait 5 seconds
                time.sleep(5)
                
        except (IOError,TypeError) as e:
                print("Error")
                digitalWrite(LED_green,0)
                digitalWrite(LED_red,1)

I have checked it several times, but I cant find the fault in the code itself. Can you find fault?

Hi @jianghong_023,

By the way it sounds like, this is a firmware issue we have to fix with the GrovePi. I’m going to add the pending label to signify everyone (of our team) that we need to take this thread into consideration.

Until we have a fix, a common quick-n-dirty fix that seems to mitigate the issue is by adding delays between each grovepi call.

Thank you!
