Troubleshooting

Well.. My initial use is for a pool temperature / level sensor.. The temp is easy - It's registering as a V_TEMP and working great, but what I want is for the level to say "1.5 inches low" or "2 inches high", etc.. I currently have the value implemented as another V_TEMP, and have my arduino code calibrating the code to show 0 degrees if it's "perfect" and then plus/minus one degree for each inch the pool is high or low, but to have a sensor that is named "Pool level" and the data being "1.5 degrees F" isn't intuitive. I thought about using a distance sensor, but I couldn't get the distance code to work in the first place, and then I'd have to just remember what "distance" is normal (ie: is 0 the "top" of the pool, the the distance represents how far down the water is?) It just seems simpler in many cases to have a few english words displayed in the Vera website. Another idea I have is to replace all my "expensive" z-wave door sensors with MySensors on Pro Mini because I hate that the output of the door sensor is just a picture of the door sensor with the "rainbow" on top either colored red, or not, and I have to remember which color is "open". I'd rather have a Vera output that just says "OPEN" or "CLOSED" and I can't figure out any way to do that with the regular sensors so I was just going to build my own.. I'm sure I'll think of more, but that's enough to keep me busy for a while! .. didn't get to try any of this last night as I had hoped.. we ended up going to the town carnival instead... Will try again tonight! -Steve

Hi Chris, You can test the RFM69 communication with the example sketchs from LowPowerLab (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/tree/master/Examples), you only need the two libarys (SPIFlash, RFM69).

Hmm. I'm going to try this: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=59420 Seems like I need to solder the pins 25 & 26 together on the USB chip of the Nano. Now my Duemilanove is failing to connect on boot as well...

also the official Sketch with development library behaves the same way, which means there is no temperature change of DHT22 in serial monitor display, after a new start of Arduino I see the right temperature, I do not know what I'm doing wrong?

@boozz I see your point, maybe I'll do this as you suggest - bit codding. My thinking was due to way how I want to do this in Node-RED:[image: node_red_all.png] @mfalkvidd I didn't check this yet, but rememebr that noticed messages st=fail earlier, but I'm using power supply 2.5A, so this should be enough, but will check this once again. And go through the debug guide. Anyway thanks guys for help.

In this case I do not understand. Perhaps, @hek is right. I have updated a few nodes to v2, but the GW was still v1.5.2 The problem is that I do want signing and with all debug options, I just cannot get 36Kb compiled on my Arduino Uno (GW).

and thats the point where you thoink about OTA updates as a very handy tool...

I finally figured it out. I had to put it in the the library where the arduino.exe is. In the programs (x86) folder. I could of swore that it worked in the arduino library that is in my documents folder. Now that I switched to Windows 10, I'm going to see if it"ll will work in the documents folder where all my other sketches are. Hope this helps someone else. Jeff

You are missing sendSketchInfo in presentation(). In presentation(), sensors.begin(); is run. In the example that line is in setup(). 3. This: sensors.setWaitForConversion(false); is missing. Not sure how much any of it matters, but maybe they are important.

Domoticz doesn't matter here at this point. The logs I posted are from Arduino IDE Serial Monitor. However, this can be closed without me yet again understanding what happened. I made a mistake of changing two things at the same time. I disconnected everything and left it for an hour or so. I reconnected and launched MYSController - and the damned thing just started working at one. I didn't have to change any settings, include, click anything. It just worked. Now, Domoticz works too, of course. All that's left is to start soldering on a proper board instead of the bread board I was using. Thanks for trying @AWI :)

@sundberg84 well, another week has passed and i think im after it. the problematic node recieved a new case to hold the itead nano-io-shield which acts as a dc-dc converter - gives the nrf power from the 7-12v pass the arduino, and also i gave it a 10mf cap. its so different to open the browser day after day without seeing any red bars... thanks a lot

Thx helped me, seems to work correct in Pimatic. Just have to check if the values of the MQ135 are correct.

@Oitzu Hi, I have post it on gtihub. Your help is much appreciated. Transmitter: https://gist.github.com/Cheah415/c1a84a6e0e3d1fa3e4df692e833f3423 Receiver: https://gist.github.com/Cheah415/68bde8764d7b072faf6785d8d70c5f43

@parachutesj #define MY_REPEATERFEATURE is for 2.0.0 branch, as all the c++ and classes stuff has been stripped out, to reduce overall size of the core library That means, for 1.5 you need to use gw.begin(..) to enable repeater mode, and for 2.0 you add the #define..

@gregl I don't think I have that Arduino around anymore so I can't check. Sorry.

@martrw You sound pretty hopeless... and not even getting past the first step. Have you measured voltages etc. to make sure the radio gets its juice (and not more than 3.5V)? You can test your arduino with a "blink" sketch on all the relevant pins. If all correct I can't think of anything else that a very bad batch of radio's.

@rvendrame said: comment th I know this is too old but how do you comment myconfig, tried to edit but wont let me (editing the txt file)
