@hlehoux As I understand the limitation of the packet size is by the NRF radio. Maybe stop supporting NRF, so that we can get a bit bigger packet size. That would help my current project where I'm using MySensors as a transport layer. I know that is easier with wifi. But I want to use mysensors.
Never mind: If I hexify everything, I can squeeze in all I need so far.
@skywatch I don't like ESPs to be honest. Seems like a waste using a Wifi MCU for mysensors.
@skywatch I hope they will port to a new MCU. As the 328 is slowly becomming deprecated. I still enjoy and love MySensors, I can do things with it that is hard to do otherwise. Or you need an esp with Wifi. I don't want smart home wifi devices.
It might be me, but when I declare the receiveTime handler is stated in the documentation:
bool receiveTime(uint32_t ts);
I get an error. it should be:
void receiveTime(uint32_t ts) {
}
at least in the latest MySensors version
It has been taking over by CodeGarage to assure continuation
That is a well documented project. Much appreciated
@fsgraz Did some testing Today and my RFM range is over 80 meters node to node, with no long range antenna. That will be my next test, just waiting for a shipment from China to arrive. I did how ever notice an extreme improvement when I connected the gateway through a USB hub and then started to dig through the forum. @AWI once wrote about using an external PSU to power the long range NRF PA/LAN. I'll try that this weekend as connecting it to they USB port of my PI extended the range to 20 meters Node to Node.
@ejlane I use Easy Eda and that can't import Kicad xd, maybe the pro version can, but I will never trust that enough to install it on my Mac. And I did check out the open hardwarw link. The comments come back to here.
I want to make one small adjustment. I wanna change the sma to ipex, so I have more choices in where to mount the antenna. Personally not a fan of an antenna sticking out of the side of a case.
But I guess I have to install KiCad to figure out footprints and schematics.
@fsgraz I agree with you that to me MySensors is all but dead. I can do stuff with MySensors that would take me more devices when I'd go to Zigbee. And I don't want to use Wifi.
@fsgraz I have an SI7021 in all my nodes lol. For me it's sensors and lights. Not the ceiling light but the other lights. We actually never use the ceiling lights. And I control my garden with MySensors
