    I use this setup with this pcb

    https://www.openhardware.io/view/392/Minimalist-RFM69HW-Shield-for-Wemos-D1-Mini

    #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN D2
    #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_NUM MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN
    #define MY_RFM69_CS_PIN D8
    

    It works, but crashes occasionally. I think i need to power the radio from its own supply.

      Tried D1 & D2, no luck. Using a similar board, requires jumper wires to connect but allows future expansion of the antenna.

        For your setup:
        ( change frequency and HW version)

        #define MY_RADIO_RFM69
        #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RFM69_433MHZ // Set your frequency here
        #define MY_IS_RFM69HW // Omit if your RFM is not "H"
        #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN D1
        #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_NUM MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN

          }
          

          If I disconnect the 3v, it doesn't crash just gives the fail message since it can't communicate with the rfm69. As soon as reconnect it crashes :(

            You could try the new RFM69 driver?

            Add to your simple sketch
            #define MY_RFM69_NEW_DRIVER

            Add also some extra debug info
            #define MY_DEBUG
            #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RFM69
            #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RFM69_REGISTERS

            Maybe it will reveal something...

              Be aware that all nodes need to use the same driver. So if you switch to the new driver on the node, you need to switch to the new driver on the gateway as well.

                Got some good news. Adding the #define MY_RFM69_NEW_DRIVER and now it doesn't crash! Thanks evb and mfalkvidd for the tips.

                So, now that the wemos with radio is has the above sketch, just a simple send of a number running.

                On the pi I download the main branch, ran:

                ./configure --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-irq-pin=22 --my-rfm69-cs-pin=24 --my-rfm69-frequency=915 --my-is-rfm69hw
                --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out
                --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mysgw1  --my-mqtt-user=UID
                --my-mqtt-password=password 
                

                then

                make
                sudo ./bin/mysgw
                

                The output is the same as post 1. They both say they are sending, but neither receive anything. Did I miss some settings? I know in the sketch I specified a network id which I didn't see the option for in the gateway on pi.

                  @les if the sketch uses a different network id, it will be on a different network. Different networks are, well, different - as in not the same. So there will be no communication between them.

                  If you need to set network id, set the define as described on https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry#advanced If you don't need to set network id, don't set network id.

                    Why you are using Wemos like normal node with RFM radio?
                    I assume you are building ethernet gateway with Wemos and RFM69.
                    Simply use my sketch fot gateway and your uno like node and try.

                      @mfalkvidd I figured it had something to do with the network ID, but from what I understand there is no way to specify it on the PI. However in my case I don't need an ID I was just under the impression it was required. So I've removed it. And 1/2 success.

                      The Pi when starting mysgw still produces the same startup and sends 1 msg out.

                      On the wemos serial output I see it gets 1 msg from the pi but doesn't progress.

                      Is there some extra steps required to pair them or get the two to communicate?

                        also worth noting I am manually running sudo bin/mysgw not as a service. As the instructions sound like it can be tested this way to make sure it is working.

                          @les yes that's the best way to start the gw when testing/troubleshooting

                            @mfalkvidd I figured it had something to do with the network ID, but from what I understand there is no way to specify it on the PI. However in my case I don't need an ID I was just under the impression it was required. So I've removed it. And 1/2 success.

                            The Pi when starting mysgw still produces the same startup and sends 1 msg out.

                            On the wemos serial output I see it gets 1 msg from the pi but doesn't progress.

                            Is there some extra steps required to pair them or get the two to communicate?

                            @les network id can be specified on the pi, see my previous post for instructions. But not specifying it at all is a better solution for most use cases.

                              I think the best next step is to follow @evb's recommendation to add #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RFM69 to the sketch (and preferably to the gateway as well)

                                I'm going to take a stab in the dark that the issue is with the pi node since the wemos received and sent and I don't see any message on the pi for anything being received.

                                With the debuging enabled on the client I get:

                                  Also I should mention I saw in the posts it says that some version of raspbian don't play with MySensors, so I've used main branch 2.3.1 and development 2.3.2 beta on Pi. Same results.

                                    @Les, I'm still learning also :-)

                                    In your first post you mentioned the wemos - rfm69hw hardware connections:
                                    GND GND
                                    3.3V VCC
                                    D1 DIO0
                                    D5 SCK
                                    D6 MISO
                                    D7 MOSI
                                    D8 NSS

                                    In previous posts, you mentioned in your sketch:
                                    #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN D1
                                    #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_NUM MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN
                                    #define MY_RFM69_CS_PIN D8

                                    But in the latest debug output, I see:

                                    12946 RFM69:INIT:PIN,CS=15,IQP=5,IQN=5
                                    

                                    Your CS/NSS pin is now on D15 and the IRQ pin on D5?
                                    @mfalkvidd: or must I interpret these numbers different?
                                    (I don't want to hijack this thread, but I've the same problem with my SAMD21 M0 board, see my thread in the same section ;-) )

                                      In previous posts, you mentioned in your sketch:
                                      #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN D1
                                      #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_NUM MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN
                                      #define MY_RFM69_CS_PIN D8

                                      But in the latest debug output, I see:

                                      12946 RFM69:INIT:PIN,CS=15,IQP=5,IQN=5
                                      

                                      Your CS/NSS pin is now on D15 and the IRQ pin on D5?
                                      @mfalkvidd: or must I interpret these numbers different?

                                      @evb D1, D8, etc are just macros or variables. They (normally) resolve to numbers. What numbers they resolve to (and which macros are available) is set by the board files in the Arduino IDE.

                                      I am not familiar with the M0 boards, but here is an example of what the macros look like: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-samd/blob/master/variants/arduino_mzero/variant.h

                                      Here is a big table with numbers and pins for Arduino M0.

                                      Here are the macros for D1 Mini: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/variants/d1_mini/pins_arduino.h
                                      Excerpt from that file:

                                      static const uint8_t D8   = 15;
                                      

                                      The macros are replaced with their real values when compiling. So the debug output can only show the number, it can not show what macro was used. That's why the debug output shows 15 instead of D8.

                                        Yes D8 = pin 15 :)

                                        So any ideas on why the raspberry pi isn't sending parent information or "listening/responding" to the wemos?

                                        As a side sanity check I will try a different raspberry pi. Can someone confirm the pins on Pi2/3?
