Troubleshooting

@hek Oh, I didn't know I needed to use both. Well I tried a million combinations after seemingly reading everything on the subject, and I still couldn't get {int + char + int} converted into a char[] using strcpy and strcat for some reason my brain is just not wrapping itself around the concept today... maybe I'll come back to it tomorrow. In the mean time, I tried the following and it worked. char buf[20]; sprintf(buf, "%d.%d", Alarm1_Time_Local[0], Alarm1_Time_Local[1]); send(MySensors_MSG_Alarm1_Time.set(buf), true); I've read that using sprintf increases the size of your sketch... but for now I'm fine with it, since it works and I can move on to being creative and productive.. lol

@alexsh1 so i think my problem is differnce with your problem , thank you

Hello Thanks for all the help i have it working now!! The problem was that in the GW this line was not there. #define MY_RFM69_PA_LEVEL RF69_PA_LOW here was standing, i have not chance that line #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_LOW ton

@mfalkvidd Thank you very much for your reply. I have done as you suggested. it works. Thank a lot, it's very kind of you.

@d4rkr3b3l Good to hear you solved it! And thanks for reporting back how you solved it :+1:

I does not work again . . . i dont know why :-( After Upload new Firmware, the device wont reboot and hanging in an bootloop.

@jeti wait is the correct solution.

Good point! I use FHEM... the Gateway is connected... so FHEM maybe the Problem...

I have added the C5 capacitor (on the "My Slim 2AA node"), and replaced the nrf24 from my GW with a NRF24L01+PA+LNA. It's way better :) So far, no problem .. I will keep you updated in the following days Anyway, thanks for your help :dancer:

@hek Thanks for the answer :-)

PA means power amplification. Power amplification works a bit like the volume button on a phone meeting with bad sound. Turning up the volume might make it easier to hear the other participants, but it will also amplify any noise and disturbances. In addition to that, power amplification stresses the power supply a lot (at least when sending), which often leads to failures. So power amplification might actually make things worse. But it can also make things better, given that the power supply is good enough, the radio is shielded from noise, etc. Data rate (250kBps) is set by MY_RF24_DATARATE. Default value is RF24_250KBPS, see https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/76dea1532ce2bcf21a5a167e21b4e0ba4eeaa51a/MyConfig.h#L550

@Yveaux said: they tend to short-circuit internally and pass on their input voltage to their outputs directly, frying the circuit you're trying to power :rage4: Luckily, this is not what happened to me. AMS1117 has not failed completely. Only with PA version (higher current) I experienced issues.

UPDATE I think it's a problem with the arduino board itself. So since my previous posts I've tried multiple radios and I've got a 4 working nodes now: Mega + NRF24 UNO R3 + NRF24 DCcEle (clone) + NRF24 Nano DCCduino (clone) + NRF24 Plus the Raspberry Pi 2 as gateway with NRF24L01+ PA/LNA is working. So... it seems like it's a problem with that Uno board.... weird. I've tried multiple radios (specifically ones that worked on the other boards) and none of them work. Like I said before, the board and the Rp2 seem to be communication but not properly. Has anyone ran into a similar problem before?

@fhenryco you'll need to completely uninstall the old (1.5) MySensors library before you install MySensors 2.0. Sketches that require third party libraries have been moved to https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples Download and install that entire repository and you'll get the correct versions of the third party libraries (including DHT) as well.

@tekka said: @b0rmann The routing tables look messed up - maybe worthwhile sending a clear routing table command (using C_INTERNAL / I_CHILDREN / C) to all repeaters and observe how they are re-established. problem solved after clearing routing via C_INTERNAL / I_DEBUG / E

@tekka gateway has 5-10cm. node - on pcb p.s. after clearing repeater node (#10) eeprom it looks better

@tekka Hmmm Strange. It work fine with 1.6.11 ?!? Why is there errors with 1.6.14 - 1.6.13 and 1.6.12 ?
