MeterLogger for Kamstrup meters are programmed with a standard FT232RL FTDI USB to TTL serial adapter also used for Arduino. DTR pin is left unconnected. Here shown with a male-to-female adapter and a cap connected to the 3.3 V supply to help supplying power for the MeterLogger when programming the flash:
It can be ordered from Banggood or AliExpress
MeterLogger is running at 3.3 V, so remember to configure the adapter for 3.3 V!
Schematic and PCB images can be found here
Given the serial programmer is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0, run:
git clone https://github.com/nabovarme/MeterLogger.git
cd MeterLogger
sudo docker build -t meterlogger:latest .
docker run -t -i --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 meterlogger:latest
perl -e 'print map(chr(int rand(256)), 1..16)'|xxd -g 16
and copy the generated key (ef500c9268cf749016d26d6cbfaaf7bf)
in mysql client run:
insert into `meters` (`serial`, `key`) values ('9999999', 'ef500c9268cf749016d26d6cbfaaf7bf');
Put jumper on pins marked 'PRG' and connect the serial programmer to the MeterLogger
Run the following to clean, build and flash:
KEY=<key> AP=1 make clean all flashall
where <key> is the key copied in previous step.
Power on the meter with the MeterLogger installed and wait for the wireless network named KAM_<serial> to appear. Connect to the network with the 16 first characters from the key as password.
The configuration webpage should now appear and MeterLogger can now be configured in a time window of 2 minutes.
