Getting node id 0 after erasing eeprom

[Moshe Livne]

Due to a very complicated and faulty reasoning i decide that I need to restart my node from scratch. as the node id is in the eeprom i decided (based on some forum thread) to erase the eeprom using the eeprom eraser sketch from the arduino site. apparently now it reports that it is node 0 and this seems to be causing lots of problems. I have worked around this for now with static node id but I am going to have lots of sensors and would prefer ids to be assigned automatically. is there a way to make the gateway controller "forget" the node and re-assign id to it? I am using domoticz. even if I remove the mysensors hardware and add it
back it still comes out with node id 0. Also, as a side note, when I statically assigned to it node id 51 domoticz crashed every time the node appeared.

Use the "ClearEepromConfig" sketch from the MySensors examples instead.

Hi.
Im not expert. but you can
check if you have "fail " in serial monitor for your node. Maybe you havecomm problems..
If there is "fail". Put a 4.7uf or bigger capacitor for nrf, reset eeprom, write your sketch. It should work I think.

Arduino eeprom clearing sketch writes 0x00 to every byte and the MySensors writes 0xFF (255) which I think for the right byte is interpreted as gw/auto assign.

Thanks! that did the trick!!
