Node inclusion problem.

[pw44]

@mfalkvidd

what are these for?

#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0

#define MY_NODE_ID 21

Thx!

@pw44 enter them into the search box at the top right at https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs/index.html to get the documentation. If things still are unclear, ask any wuestions you might have here.

@mfalkvidd ok, i did, and did not understand how it works, that's why i asked.

[mfalkvidd]

@pw44 the public documentation is the best way we know to describe them. If we knew a better way, we would update the public documentation.

Could you help us by describing what parts you understand and what parts you don't understand?

[pw44]

@mfalkvidd well, neither my build gateway or the two working nodes have MY_NODE_ID and MY_PARENT_NODE_ID.

in one of the posts, one user claimed not being able to include a node, but was able to do it by defining those https://forum.mysensors.org/post/36819.

so, the question is if those are necessary by having the gateway and nodes, and how to use it?

shall i define MY_NODE_ID 0 to the gateway and AUTO do the nodes, by MY_PARENT_NODE_ID, or MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0 to the nodes?

yes, maybe stupid questions, but i didn't realize, as i have one gateway and two nodes working and a third one not being registered, even with some nrf24l01 replaced.

[mfalkvidd]

@pw44 as described in the documentation, Node id defaults to AUTO (tries to fetch id from controller).

So if you don’t specify MY_NODE_ID, the node will try to fetch an id from the controller.

[pw44]

@mfalkvidd ok, but does it have any influence by node being recognized by gateway?

[mfalkvidd]

@pw44 hard to tell without the logs from the node and the gateway from the same time

[mfalkvidd]

@pw44 I checked the startup sequence, and TSM:FPAR happens before TSM:ID. So no, setting MY_NODE_ID on your node would not have any effect in your case.

no node being recognized

and these are the arduino mini pro gpios being used

#define BUTTON_PIN1  3                                // Arduino Digital I/O pin for button/reed switch

@mfalkvidd may this problem be related with eeprom stored vars?

i will clear the eeproms and flash gatewayand nodes again.
