Troubleshooting

@mfalkvidd , yes, I see. As I wrote in the first post I was using https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/tree/development/examples/SecurityPersonalizer code. I checked with the Personizer code in the Library examples - it does compile, thanks. What I find a bit confusing - in the sketch in exampla library you have to make two keys - USER_SOFT_KEY and USER_KEY (when you do not use hw hashing, and when you do). I have mixed configurations. Should those keys be the same in my network for mixed configuration to work? thanks for help and sorry for confusion

In fact @sundberg84 usually advices to have the antenna sticking out of the pcb underneath as the ground planes tend to what they are made for: shielding EM. Also trace antenna orientation plays a role too

Wow, you were right. All the packages that I installed are gone after reboot. This is unfortunate. I will now see if I can just install home assistant on a more common distro like rasbian or something.

You need to debug the node, not the gateway, look in node's log.

Solved with some changes in the Dallas temp library (and platformio 3.5 which allows installing a library from a git url). My thread there: https://community.platformio.org/t/platformio-and-mysensors-for-atmega328p-on-breadboard-was-not-declared-in-this-scope/2994/7?u=n8henrie

@sineverba great! Thanks for reporting back.

@bram81 Thank you so much ... I was nearly getting mad - without your "edit and the include esp8266wifi hint" I'd still be pulling out my beard in frustration !

@mickecarlsson great!

@sineverba not really. If you set the weak flag on the gateway it will only require signatures from nodes that require signatures themselves. This is described in the signing documentation.

@gohan I've had some segmentation faults on rare occasions in the past, but I've never been able to find the reason. I'm suspecting that there is some bug in the class EthernetClient or EthernetServer that manifests in special conditions.

Ok, now I think I have a workaround...The sketch SecurityPersonalizer gave me the right hint. I need to extend the waiting time in setup. If I extend it to around 10secs it seems to work. void setup() { unsigned long enter = hwMillis(); while (hwMillis() - enter < (unsigned long)10000); Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println("here you go"); }

@macieiks Could be power and/or radio related. Could you try with a different, non-PA radio ?

@igpels - i use this code. I would try a 47uF on the radio if you have 4,7 today to start with. To filter the output of the voltage regulator you add a 0,1uF and maybe a 10uF from VOut to ground.

@mimaret great work! Thanks for posting your solution.

@sineverba regarding antenna swap, you probably affected rf performance and security require lossless rf link. As for switching between different atmga328p boards, the only difference is could think of would be that the radio power supply is also affected and again degrade the radio performence. If you get NACKs in the log, that is the problem.

Hi all, I. m facing similar problems. like you. I was working on upgrading my network to 2.1.1. I got stuck with strange behaviour of the GW. I programmed it with: IDE version: 1.8.4 Arduino AVR release: 1.6.20 The latest 2.1.1 downloaded libraries and the latest GW version. After connecting the GW to my network, i was perfectly able to ping it. MYScontroller could connect, however sending a command to the gateway rusults in an error (ERROR 10054). I've been fighting with it for a day, exchanging compontents, rebuilding SW, etc. Here is what solved it! Changed the AVR release to 1.6.11 I know there are problems in AVR 1.6.X, but these should have been solved in 1.6.18 and higher. Apperantly that is not the case. I hope this helps! Ralph

You could check the code and try using smaller variable types to something that you actually need

Thanks to all. The problem is solved. I forgot to add pin definitions to the sketch. #define MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN D1 #define MY_RF69_IRQ_NUM MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN #define MY_RF69_SPI_CS D8 // NSS. Use MY_RFM69_CS_PIN for the development branch.```
