Sensebender Gateway 1.0 - Init weirdness...

[tomtastic]

My setup is :

• Raspberry Pi Zero2 running 'mysgw 2.3.2' connected via USB serial to
• Sensebender Gateway running 'MySensors core version : 2.3.2' and a default sketch customised for an RFM69HW.

When I view the Arduino Serial Monitor on init, with the Sensebender gateway hooked directly to laptop USB, everything looks OK :

09:27:09.544 -> 0;255;3;0;9;1150 MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RRNGS---,FQ=48,REL=255,VER=2.3.2

But if I short SWC2, it appears there's an EEPROM problem?

09:28:00.951 -> Sensebender GateWay test routine
09:28:00.951 -> MySensors core version : 2.3.2
09:28:00.951 -> GateWay sketch version : 0.3trcm

09:28:01.021 -> - > SD CARD SD Card initialized correct! - type detected : SDHC
09:28:01.125 ->  -> EEPROM 
... hangs here indefinitely ...

And if I connect the Sensebender Gateway to the Pi Zero with mysgw, it looks like the radio then fails to init? :

pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-port=/dev/ttyACM0 --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=433 --my-serial-is-pty --my-is-rfm69hw

And then...

Though serial output seems to show TSM (this is the radio portion?) inits OK :

What am I not understanding here, have I specified the options incorrectly in the ./configure step ?
Is something wrong with the EEPROM ?

[tomtastic]

Hmm, I wasn't clear on what the mysgw software did, I don't need to run that at all do I!

It seems there's still an issue with the EEPROM test routine though?

@tomtastic
Hi, I had similar problems in the last year. There is definitely a issue with the clear eeprom sketch, I ended up having to make changes myself, in order to correctly wipe it. When I'm next on my pc I'll post the sketch.

Regards Nigel

Hi all,

This is what I Simply ended up with to clear the eeprom,

// load core modules only
#define MY_CORE_ONLY

#include <MySensors.h>

void before(){
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Started clearing. Please wait...");
  for (uint16_t i=0; i<EEPROM_LOCAL_CONFIG_ADDRESS; i++) {
    hwWriteConfig(i,0xFF);
  }
  Serial.println("Clearing done.");
}

void setup()
{
	  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Started clearing. Please wait...");
  for (uint16_t i=0; i<EEPROM_LOCAL_CONFIG_ADDRESS; i++) {
    hwWriteConfig(i,0xFF);
    Serial.println(i);
  }
  Serial.println("Clearing done.");
}

void loop()
{
	// Nothing to do here...
}
