Gateway ESP8266

[ryolaxe]

Hello !

I have a small problem with a new gateway in ESP8266 over wifi.

My gateway won't connect to the nodes :
Node code:

The weird part is that both transports are well initialized.
Have you had troubles with ESP8266 and NRF24L01 ?

Thanks

I've added the gateway part when adding a node :

@ryolaxe this indicates that the gateway is trying to sleep

6118 MCO:SLP:MS=60000,SMS=0,I1=255,M1=255,I2=255,M2=255
6197 !MCO:SLP:REP

A sleeping gateway will not work. Remove the sleep and try again.

@mfalkvidd

Indeed I've added a

    #ifdef MY_DEBUG
    Serial.print("T: ");
    Serial.println(t);
    Serial.print("H: ");
    Serial.println(h);
    #endif


  // Sleep for a while to save energy
  sleep(5*60000);

because I have a DHT22 attached. What would be the interval then ?

Thanks!

[mfalkvidd]

@ryolaxe change

sleep(5*60000)

to

wait(5*60000)

[ryolaxe]

@mfalkvidd Thanks, it stopped the sleeping error.

Now I receive

but the node is still not recognized although it seems to ping now...

NB : same log from the nod with the

@ryolaxe this indicates that the gateway sends a response to the node, but the gateway does not receive an acknowledgement from the next hop

173660 !TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-2-2,s=255,c=3,t=8,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:0

This indicates that the node does not receive the message from the gateway:

4063 !TSM:FPAR:NO REPLY

The most common problem (by a very large majority) is insufficiently stable power supply to the nrf24. What capacitors are you using and how are they soldered to the gateway and the node? If you haven't already, see https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help/ for the most common problems and how to efficiently troubleshoot them.

@mfalkvidd

Thanks, I had not seen this page.

Added a 10uF to the gateway and 4.7 uF to the node and everything works now !

[mfalkvidd]

Nice work @ryolaxe thanks for reporting back.
