MYSBootloader 1.3 pre-release & MYSController 1.0.0beta

@Alan-Sales it seems the project is abandoned. But I have it, so please use this link:

@tekka maybe you could share the code somewhere? Maybe someone else could make a use of it or develop it further?

Anyone else experiencing crashing of the application after about 10seconds?

@iguaan The same applies to me. The application crashes after a few seconds after launching (Windows 10). No problem before on the same system, so I suspect a Windows update but I don't know which one.

Hi all,
I think I have found the problem, the program at startup makes a connection (probably to look for an update) to the following address 162.55.0.134 (port 80) but it fails, this blocks the program for several minutes, unfortunately without the sources it is not possible solve the problem.

There's another somewhat way around:

you just need to open prog and then close when it gets stuck and then clik try to restore or wait button few times:

then you should get this screen at some point and then press ok/ignore and it works

needs several tries.

MYSController is crashing me too... Are there any alternatives to update the firmware of mysensors nodes?

[nfj25]

@Mac65 Good catch! I blocked MYSController from acessing the network in the Windows Firewall and... it works! Only block TCP port 80 if you are connecting to a MySensors TCP gateway.

Can't get it working that way, even if i block all the traffic on Myscontroller.

Got it working, I have program on onedrive and seemed that automatically generated path in rules didn't work:
"%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\MYSController\MYSController.exe"
Had to change it to "C:\Users\user\OneDrive\MYSController" and it works now, great success.

Today I couldn't get it to work again unless I blocked all ports, ran program and then unblock again (to access GW).
Solution was to block myscontroller from accessing only that remote IP on all ports, letting me still connect to gateway without any fiddling in firewall settings on every program start.

Hope this solution stays for good :)

If anyone is getting "Property 'bootloader.tool.' is undefined" error with arduino 2.x when trying to burn bootloader, then you just have to add another row in bold below to boards.txt file

MYSBL.upload.tool=avrdude
MYSBL.upload.protocol=arduino
MYSBL.upload.maximum_size=30720
MYSBL.upload.maximum_data_size=2048
MYSBL.bootloader.tool=avrdude
MYSBL.bootloader.tool.default=avrdude

Today i suddenly find out, that Tekka updated app. Old app said "there is an update" and i've clicked link, which lead me to dropbox page.
So anyone, who previously blocked all traffic for program (@iguaan , @nfj25 , @Mac65 , @tplet) - you may want unblock it in your firewall and update.
I just replaced MYSController.exe and MYSController.ini files, leaving all other - it worked! Did not yet tested all functionality. But still make backup of all files for sure before dong that. Also you may need click on sensor and choose "settings->offline FOTA update" in order OTA to work. I'm wondering what does "online" version mean...
Thank you very much, Tekka!

@tekka
Is there any changelog to it also or it was just made officially available again?
although last online status was 22 AUG 2020, so anyone else can confirm anything about it?
I'd just be cautious without confirmation.
