General Discussion

yeah , I will test it .. thanks . If button change then send packet with ACK , and wait .. if not ack received then error .. rebards

yes ....

@brad.s The transceivers communicate via RF via an embedded hardware protocol. The micro-controller communicates with the transceiver module using (standard) serial communication. Good radio communication and buffering of incoming or outgoing messages are more-or-less unaffected by clock speed of the micro-controller. So, it is not necessary to match clock speeds. The clock speed may affect energy consumption so you will want to optimize your arduino model for its sensor application and choice of using battery or mains power. Also, your choice of 5V or 3V3 IO will affect your sensor build strategy, having to power up or down to accommodate the IO requirements of the attached devices (e.g. radio transceiver 3.3V or a pressure sensor at 5V). Available SRAM/FLASH memory is also a factor, if you want to get into more complex devices later on.

@Nicola-Reina Let me know how things go, and if you could use any help. I am sure I could spare some time for it.

@bjornhallberg Have a look at this http://ing.dk/blog/hvilken-elmaaler-har-du-120890#p391493 There is a schematic of a IR head for the kamstrup meters. Might be usefull for your meter as well.. If you're up to reading danish, there are a couple of sites where the author of that blog deciphers the kamstrup protocol.. like this one http://ing.dk/blog/kamstrup-meter-protocol-127052

Thanks kalle! Yes. Could not find it for. Days ...

@Avenger If you run e.g. an MQTT broker or a domotica server (like OpenHab) it is possible to store sensor data and have it retrieved by actuators (e.g. a display) on request. Did you consider such a setup?

mmm.. Ok - thanks Hek. I was doing similar by having multiple copies of the Arduino IDE - one with 1.3 libs and another with 1.4 but ive recently started using AtmelStudio with VisualMicro plugin. I wonder if i can change within there without restarting the IDE completely...

You are very welcome of course. There are more suppliers but this one sells many many types, price is ok, quality is very good and shipment rocks :)

I think that unless you want to transfer a lot of power, Ethernet cables, Cat 5/6 are the best choice. I am wondering if this is the right forum though, MySensors is more about wireless communication.

@marceltrapman, using a smart and nice etching process is never something people have an issue with. The point people are trying to make on this thread is that if you can achieve the same results by using a small tank and an inexpensive chemical, why go for an expensive process. There are so many different etching processes available that you can choose from which are cheap enough to be used by anyone. Etching does impact the quality of a PCB but as long as you’re not making expensive antenna PCBs, usual process work fine. electronics assembly

@daulagari There are some on AliExpress. A bit cheaper than Antratek but not much. Not 100% sure you get the Uno shield adapter but it seems so. Still no big deal with the price since we only need one gateway.

Looks nice - would be great as a scene controller too.

Tried again with Firefox and now things are working. Problems solved!

Cool. But I can't find much info on their website.

@hek I would reck this is no time flat. That thing would have to be water proof for me...
