RFID Scan not working though the webapp. #1998

I've got a Pi3 imaged from the official Pi Imager (Bullseye 32bit). Attached are the steps I took to do the setup. Everything seems to be working just fine but the webapp doesn't acknowledge the RFID scan. The web page loads, recognizes audio files and folders and plays music without an issue. I know the RC522 works because I can run basic scripts (attached) and it works fine.

Any help is appreciated. Let me know if you need any kind of additional information. Thanks.

OMFG!!! It was the IRQ that was needed! Every Google search and RC522 pinout document shows that pinout, with the IRQ not needed.... I added that 1 pin and sure enough I got the response needed.

I'm truly sorry I didn't catch that sooner! Gahhh. Time to start with a fresh image and go from there. Thanks for all the help!

Hi,
can you maybe provider your Installation Log (/home/pi/phoniebox_logs/) and the systemlog (tail /var/log/syslog -n 200)?
And the Status of the rfid reader service (systemctl status phoniebox-rfid-reader.service)?

Also this sound pretty similiar to #1972

Seems like cloning into the repo at least caused a warning

Cloning into 'RPi-Jukebox-RFID'...

Maybe the server was not available at that time.

The are a couple of errors following when setting the user in samba and you selected the reader.

I've tried before with no luck. I tried again just now using this same image. I'm going to try this once more from a clean image (Bullseye with update/upgrade). Is there anything from my install steps attached earlier that would be an issue? Any reason I shouldn't change the hostname, set Wifi/local etc from the Official Pi Imager tool?

No Luck. One of the errors says "Failed to add entry for user pi." so I wonder if it's the hostname. I'm going to try and fix that and test again.

Still no love. Brand new Image from Pi Imager. Followed my Install Setup doc. Update/Upgrade. Then ran the one-line script. That did not read the RFID. (See logs 3)

Then ran the script again. See logs 4. Let me know what else I should try. Thanks.

-> "/home/MagiCube/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/"
Phoniebox needs the user "pi" to work. This is an open issue, but theres no workaround at the moment (#1785).
But you it seems you have changed that already in the last installations.

Have you tried skipping all the manual installations in advance (even the spi / i2c activations)? The Installationscript / plugin setup should make all needed configurations.
Also have you tried using the bullseye light image or even buster?

I tried the installations on bullseye lite and full, with and without your preinstall steps (all with a fresh image), and in all cases the Id is updated in the WebUi at "Last used Chip ID".

Can you again post the service status directly after you swiped a card?

Also can you make sure that the reader is connected correctly with all 8 Pins?

I tested on a new image last night (same setup steps) but kept the user as "pi". Still not registering. I have not tried this on a light OS but did try Buster before hopping in here for extra support. I'm going to start a new image and skip my manual setup steps. I'll update/upgrade and run the one-liner.

Question, if I'm still unsuccessful would you be able to send me a known working image I can flash? I'm using an 8GB SD. If a known working image doesn't work then I'm definitely doing something wrong. Since the basic test scripts work to read and write the RFID I can't see that being the case. It is wired correctly per that link and the attached pinout.

Here is the latest RFID reader services.

What do you mean with "IRQ <-> unused"?
IRQ needs to be connnected to Pin 18/GPIO 24, otherwise it won't work

Still no love. It has to be something stupid I just can't pin down.

Glad it works now 👍

Hey my friend! I'm having the same issue and I do have the IRQ disconnected as well so fingers cross it is the same thing - where should I connect it to (the pin in the PI)?

Thanks!

Hi, have a look at this thread:
#1998 (reply in thread)

There is a link to the wiki documentation, and further description.

Outstanding! Will check it! Thank you so much, Alvin!

ConsolasTrovao Jun 8, 2023

And magic, it works (of course!). Thank you!
