Troubleshooting

@raditv Thanks alot. I will look into it and get back with results.

I've now recompiled the gateway, removed the debug definition and digitalio.h Still, the gateway blinks TX led once in like 10 minutes, no rx, no error. Leds are connected properly, code seems to be ok and of course they are declared. Still no idea why it's behaving like that.

I'm using the MQTT Client Gateway with OpenHab and Mosquotto Sub (when testing) as the controller

@hek: Ah, ok, thanks a lot ! That gives some clarification and will hopefully help to catch the bugs. Thank you ! Josh

adding more capacitor just like in the tutorial fixed this problem.

So it should be okay? Even when my meter shows around 180-200 uA with pir only?

Hello, I had the same problems and I solved it by using an external 12V power supply created with a RAC02-12SC from RECOM Powersupply. Regards

Well, I've cleared EEProm, changed nanos, fixed new IDs much higher than ever manually and eventually after few minutes Domoticz sent readings to node so now it have 2 pulsemeters on 2 node ID's.

Are you sleeping the node using the provided sleep-methods? Might be LowPowerLab library doing something to Timer1 https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/blob/master/libraries/MySensors/utility/LowPower.cpp

THx for the feedback. Now I can start to build my two pulse meters. One for my electricity usages and one for my natural gas usages. Bert

This most probably will be solved with the capacitors installed, here you can find exactly how, I and most people use 4,7u F which is enough. http://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio

@Dwalt thanks, that did the trick. now it's working! thanks! Floris

If the FTDI Chip is disabled... program it via isp.

Thanks for this great testing code. The default pong back role wasn't working for me (and therefore no data was received from the remote unit) so I changed the following section of your code from: radio.begin(); // Openning for listening radio.openReadingPipe(1,pipes[1]); radio.startListening(); To: radio.begin(); // Openning for listening radio.openReadingPipe(1,pipes[0]); radio.openWritingPipe(pipes[1]); radio.startListening(); Am not sure if the "radio.openWritingPipe(pipes[1])" (copied from the change role code further down in your source) line is required, but it works. Thanks again. B

st=fail indicates that sending node never received any acknowledgment back from the recipient. It could be a few reasons for this. Here is a selection. Recipient does not have enough power to transmit the ack back (try adding a larger/different cap on the receiving radio). Distance is too long. A bad spiky power supply is used. One or both your radios is fake/clone NRF24L01+. Seen discussions that this kind of behaviour could arise.

@ikjes Solved

Thanks for the anwers. Clearing the eprom did the Job. :smiley: Cor
