Wemos d1 mini : gateway error .

[David Marlinge]

Hello,

this is the first time I'm trying to work with mysensors.
So I have a wemos d1 mini and a nrf24L01.

I upload gateway8266 sketch on the wemos card.

I setup an ip adress (192.168.1.111) gateway 192.168.1.1 and submask : 255.255.255.0.

But it does work, I can't reach the adress.

If I plug the wemos on my computer, and launch the serial monitor in arduino IDE, I get this .

09:15:10.888 -> f`f⸮⸮ff⸮⸮⸮20389 TSM:FAIL:RE-INIT
09:15:10.888 -> 20413 TSM:INIT
09:15:10.935 -> 20433 !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
09:15:10.935 -> 20459 TSM:FAIL:CNT=3
09:15:10.983 -> 20481 TSM:FAIL:DIS
09:15:10.983 -> 20501 TSF:TDI:TSL

What do I have to do ?

Thank you

PS : i tried with another wemos and same issue.

Welcome to the forum @David-Marlinge

!TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL

This means that the wemos was unable to initialize the nrf24 radio. Double-check the wiring. If you can't find anything wrong, post multiple photos of the wiring and we'll help check. Plase also post the entire sketch (with wifi namn/password removed).

If you haven't already, see https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/read-this-first-it-could-save-you-a-lot-of-time/ for how to efficiently troubleshoot.

[David Marlinge]

Oh, I will check the wiring ...
I taught It means that it can't connect to wifi ...

So it's normal that I can't ping the wemos ...

For the sketch I just upload the example sketch for esp8266gateway..

 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - Henrik Ekblad
 * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex,
 * Contribution by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de>
 * Contribution by Ivo Pullens (ESP8266 support)
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the WiFi link.
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * VERA CONFIGURATION:
 * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin.
 * E.g. If you want to use the default values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment any of the MY_DEFAULT_xx_LED_PINs in your sketch, only the LEDs that is defined is used.
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message received. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation received
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or receive crc error
 *
 * See https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio for wiring instructions.
 *
 * If you are using a "barebone" ESP8266, see
 * https://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway#wiring-for-barebone-esp8266
 *
 * Inclusion mode button:
 * - Connect GPIO5 (=D1) via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
 *
 * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!
 *
 * Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

@David-Marlinge test it is normal, if there is a problem with the nrf24. A gateway is (usually) not useful if it can’t talk to any nodes, so it will block if initialization fails.

[David Marlinge]

Now the wiring check.
I have a nrf24l01 with antenna, and nothing is written on the board ...
Does someone have a wiring diagram for that nrf module ?

Thank you.

[mfalkvidd]

@David-Marlinge could you expand on what you mean by "nothing is written on the board". Which board?

The wiring is available at https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio#nrf24l01+-&-esp8266

[David Marlinge]

nothing is written on the nrf24L01 board ...

I send a picture ...

[mfalkvidd]

@David-Marlinge the nrf24 chip is not a board in the Arduino board meaning. Nothing can be written to it. It must be connected to a microcontroller to be useful.

[David Marlinge]

If it's the same wiring, I connect like your link, but it does not work.

Now I can ping the wifi adress even if the nrf24l01 is not plugin ... In fact It doesn't take the adress I give in the sketch ....

[David Marlinge]

What I want to say, is that nothing is written on the pin ... So How can I be sure where the gnd, vcc and so on are ???

[mfalkvidd]

@David-Marlinge I see. Sorry for misunderstanding.

The pinout is probably compatible with the smaller nrf24 (without PA). If you can, check with the vendor/store where you bought the nrf24.

[David Marlinge]

I have already check, nothing is written on the store where i bought them ...

Is tha capacitor needed ? and Must the whole thing works connected on a PC usb ?

[David Marlinge]

So I check the wiring. I think a wire was not well plugged.
Now it works.
