Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors
-
Well I found an old Windows laptop and it worked on that, so I guess it's the Mac computer
Yesterday I tried to make a Repeater with the standard sketch as instructed. Now I can see that it says: Undefined firmware/type. What is the reason for that???30-03-2015 15:03:38 NODE: New node discovered, node id=34

30-03-2015 15:03:40 DEBUG: Undefined firmware/type for node=34I think it works because when I disconnect it stops sending messages to MYSController so all communication to this is done via the repeater.
Is it something to worry about???
-
@Mouridsen MYSController should work using Wine on Mac - for the serial communication, just type e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0 or whatever your GW is assigned to in the serial edit field. The "undefined firmware/type" message appears, if you use the standard arduino bootloader (e.g. optiboot). For OTA functionality, you can use MYSBootloader which will also transmit the firmware type/version to MYSController.
-
@tekka Thanks, it works perfect. That was a quite easy fix
-
MYSController Version 0.1.2.278 released

Brilliant work! Ran perfectly under Wine on Fedora linux by using /dev/ttyUSB0 for serial port [after first checking my gateway was connected to that port]. Solved a problem I was having with a sensor getting assigned a weird node ID. Saved me loads of time tracking down the problem, many thanks for sharing this tool, much appreciated!
-
This is awesome!
Any plans to provide source or a back-end API that could be used to connect this up to an HA controller? That way you could control everything downstream in the MySensors cloud from this app, and everything upstream (the HA controller and the cloud) could interface with a much richer (and presumably more robust) infrastructure rather than yet again figuring out how to parse the bits coming off of the serial port...
-
@rickmontana83 parse the data from the serial port is easy, im put in other post in this forum with a part of my code in vb.net
-
@rickmontana83 Serial API is described here.
-
@tekka once you flash the Arduino with the MYSBootloader is the only why that now you can programme the Arduino is though the MYSController software?
-
@Francois AFAIK, MYSController and NodeJsController (see framework, link here) are the only controllers that provide OTA updates via bootloader. Both controllers use the OTA protocol described here. However, MYSBootloader 2.0 will support updates OTA and via IDE.
-
@tekka the reason I asked I has a problem where I had 2 node with the same node ID and a could not do a OTA via MYSController. As i keep the same ID. I clear the EEPROM and still l it did not work. So the only why I could get the node working was to reflash the boot loader.
-
@Francois in general, if two nodes have the same ID, you have to disconnect one node and reassign ID/clear eeprom of the other node:
- MYSBootloader 1.1: use the bootloader commands in MYSController (right mouse click on the node, then reassign ID or clear EEPROM)
- MYSBootloader 1.0: upload the clear eeprom sketch and have the controller reassigning the ID
-
@tekka I doing this and still the node ID is not changing. I change this node to 4 and it still come up as Node 3. The reboot command also don't reboot the device. I have to do a manual reset on the device is this normal?
-
@Francois ok, I see - can you post or send the log (with debug mode on) to myscontroller at gmail dot com.
If the reboot command is not functioning properly you may have a corrupt routing table: Try clearing the routing table of the node & all routing nodes in between (right mouse click on the node in the routing panel|clear routing table) then try again to reboot.
-
@tekka will it be a problem if I don't have all my node on the MYSbootloader? Currently I only have 2 of my nodes with MYSBootloader. I am still testing before I change all the nodes
-
@Francois should be fine
-
@tekka log file send
-
@tekka See below it reboot the first time when I try it the seconde time it did
not it just say rebootHere is my routing Tabel:
-
@Francois the node has AUTO ID or fix assigned ID (i.e. 91?) - if so, this may be an issue in the dev branch
-
Anyone who owns a Vera controller, and perhaps was able to connect this nice MYSController to the mySensors serial-gateway hooked into Vera USB?
The serial port is exposed in TCP/IP by Vera via ser2net, however I wasn't successful by setting MYSController to <my-vera-ip>:3482 (3482 is the port displayed in Vera -> APPS -> Develop Apps -> Serial port config ) .
(maybe the Vera MYSensor plugin opens the serial connection to GW in 'exclusive' mode or something like that? )
If I remove the GW from Vera USB and plug in my computer, MYSController works fine.
Anyone? Am I wanting too much?
-
I'm new to MySensors and playing around with this implementation since some weeks. I implemented an interface from serial to MQTT per python and everything is running fine so far. The last days I spend some time with the bootloader (it is a great feature!!!). I created also a python mqtt client that will take care on that.
I got really crazy the last 2 days with the CRC calculation. I always got a different CRC as as the MYSController. Now I found out, that it seems that the last byte within the HEX file is interpreted as 0xFF instead of the real data. I flashed now one sensor with the MYSController and as I can see in the log-file -> the last byte is read from the HEX as wrong value (0xFF instead of 0x14) -> therefore the HEX file is not flashed correctly (last byte is wrong) -> it seems that this is a bug in MYSController. (I'm using version 0.1.2.278)
Can you check that please?
-
@JoergP Indeed, bug confirmed. There is an error in the block padding code. I will push the update soon. Thanks for reporting!

Hello,
First of all, thanks Tekka for the great MYScontroller!
I want to get started with the MYSbootloader but I can't get it to work. I've followed each step securely but I never "see" my arduino in MYScontroller after flashing the bootloader. Perhaps I misunderstand the theory behind the bootloader? Maybe the fuses are wrong, I don't know.
Perhaps someone can reply to the following;
- Can I just attach a radio module to an Arduino Nano as instructed on the site, clear the eeprom and then burn the bootloader using usbasp? (as instructed in this thread) Or do I need to upload the gateway sketch before burning the bootloader?
- I have a hard time understanding what the bootloader does, I think it enables low level nrf functionality for OTA and Myscontroller instructions like reboot and clear eeprom etc. But when I upload a sketch does that mean the bootloader inits the nrf first and then the uploaded sketch will just re-init the nrf again?
- Is there a way to debug the bootloader?
Have a good laugh if you will at these noob questions, but any help is appreciated

@cdr said:

Yes, simply attach the radio and burn the bootloader with the correct fuse settings (see the fuses.txt file in the bootloader directory). If you intend to use MYSController, set AutoID to automatically assign IDs to the nodes.
- I have a hard time understanding what the bootloader does, I think it enables low level nrf functionality for OTA and Myscontroller instructions like reboot and clear eeprom etc. But when I upload a sketch does that mean the bootloader inits the nrf first and then the uploaded sketch will just re-init the nrf again?
Yes, that's correct. The bootloader is a small piece of code located at the end of the flash area that is (if the fuses are set accordingly) executed first upon rebooting and allows for low-level OTA updates.
- Is there a way to debug the bootloader?
Yes, there are several ways (e.g. visual with LED, serial output, or AVR DebugWire)...you may want to google these topics for further information..
Have a good laugh if you will at these noob questions, but any help is appreciated
no problem
-
Hi tekka,
Thanks for the response and clarification. I think I need more knowledge about fuses and bootloaders, it could be that the arduino clones are giving me sh&t.
Looking forward to my success and MYSloader 2.0 ofcourse!
Thanks again for all your work.

MYSController Version 0.1.2.280 released
Changelog:
- Bugfix FW padding (thanks @JoergP)
- Handler rework
- Logging format rework
- Support battery-powered/sleeping nodes
- Refactoring
Update via update button in MYSController or download here.

This is the most helpful tool I used since I started messing around with mysensors.
I hate to nag but this tool source code would be a giant step to someone looking to create a new controller by himself.

Hello, how to verify right bootloader is uploaded to arduino?
I'm using two Arduino Pro Mini 328 5.0V 16Mhz, one as ArduinoISP programmer and one as sensor node to upload bootloader and firmware.
I followed manual (http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/838/windows-gui-controller-for-mysensors/76) step by step.
I have tried MYSBootloader.hex coming from latest MYSController 0.1.2.280 and MYSBootloader.hex (1.1) from github with same results.

The MYSBootloader.hex file you are flashing has a wrong file size (=32722 bytes) in your post:
avrdude: reading input file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr/bootloaders/MySensors/MYSBootloader.hex"
avrdude: writing flash (32722 bytes):MYSBootloader 1.1 should have ~2kb
From your log I assume, that you flashed the sketch instead of the bootloader.
Please pay attention to steps 3 and 13 from the step-by-step manual.

@tekka I have noticed this, but I thought that this is due to the peculiarities of bootloader upload process (upper end of memory).

In any case, thanks for the help, I'll try to figure it out or try to download it manually using avrdude.

@tekka
Hello, could you help me with uploading bootloader. I stuck on Step 5 step-by-step manual and get errorArduino: 1.6.4 (Mac OS X), Плата"ATmega328 16Mhz MYSBootloader" avrdude: error: could not find USB device with vid=0x16c0 pid=0x5dc vendor='www.fischl.de' product='USBasp'I`m using 16Mhz pro mini clone and FTDI232
-
@tekka I have googled for [avrdude bootloader "bytes of flash written"] and found many answers about big upload size for bootloader (> 32000 bytes). It seems that big size is the way it should be.
I have solved problem. I must power up node with newly burned bootloader but without sensor node firmware and upload firmware using MYSController
Incorrect way is: burn bootloader, burn sensor node firmware, powerup sensor.
Thank you for great software!
-
@NewFolk You'll need e.g. USBasp or ArduinoISP to flash a new bootloader. If you have a spare Arduino and FTDI232, follow this tutorial to program a new bootloader using the Arduino IDE.
Good luck!
-
@robosensor Yes, the sensor firmware is uploaded OTA via MYSController.

Hi - I need some clarification.
I have mysensors connected to my vera lite (working)
I bought 3 of the sensebender micro boards and got them talking with the gateway (working)
loaded up myscontroller it's running and see the gateway and all 3 nodes.
yay!
the issue is the sensors are reporting in C instead of F, so i modified the sketch, compiled it, found the hex file (66k)
and moved it to the correct folder per instructions.
when i says "assign FW" nothing happens.
am i understanding correctly that "firmware" is just a compiled sketch?
if i need to make changes to my device, is this the correct way?
modify sketch - > compile -> move hex to myscontroller folder - > edit firmware_config file -> right click assign fw -> pick new firmware
is that correct?
nothing is happening for me when i do that..
please clarify.
thanks!edit: file size says 66k in win7
but in the compiler it says
Sketch uses 23,724 bytes (77%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30,720 bytes.
Global variables use 822 bytes (40%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1,226 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.the file i grabbed was SensebenderMicro.cpp.hex

nothing is happening for me when i do that..For OTA updates you need to burn the MYSBootloader (instructions here). Once done, assign FW, reboot node and wait until FW is transferred.
edit: file size says 66k in win7

I thought i read those sensebender boards were going to come pre-burned with the MYSBootloader from the mfg? that why you wouldn't need a programmer. i'll check with those folks..
edit: i found where they said it was pre-programmed..
@hek said:
Yes, FTDI, ISCP or over-the-air updates.
It comes pre-programmed with MySensors variant of the DualOptiboot-bootloader.
https://github.com/mysensors/DualOptiboot
Which can take advantage of the extra flash memory to do a safe over-the-air firmware update.

I have a some questions. Couldnt find answer anywhere.
If I am using an arduino connected to the serial port on a Raspberry pi (w/openhab) How do I assign fw, reboot, etc?
Do I need to disconnect the GW and use windows temporarily to reboot, update fw? or can I have 2 GW's?
I updated my nano with the MYS bootloader, and after I power it on, it never shows up in MYSController.

@tekka Hey, it seems like the downloadlink is broken. Can you check?

It is possible to burn the bootloader to an Arduino Uno right? (if not please skip below and I will rtfm some more)

@cdr the efuse only uses the lower 3 bits: with AVRDude set 0x06, with AVRStudio set 0xFE. You can verify this with the fuse calculator.

I try to uplaod sketch via OTA but it doesn''t work.
I have sensebender with stock bootloader. Gateway is connect to an ODROID C1 with ser2net and i connect to ser2net. I can see all incoming traffic for my sensors.
I upload sensebender default sketch from dev branch using MySensors dev branch too.
I tell MYSController sensors is battery powered.
I try with the two provided example but nothing happen in log or anything else

@Fabien
I dont understand what you mean by "I told MysController" that the node is battery powered. It should find that out automatically I think. Anyway I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that battery powered sensors cant be updated OTA. (If it relly is battery powered). I think I read a define somewhere that disables the firmware low level commands in the MySensors Library if the Node is battery powered.
-
@Dirk_H said:

No there isn't. But battery powered sensors most likely sleep most of the time so they won't receive any update command. And a fw updates over-the-air would probably drain batteries pretty quick.
-
@tekka I feel really, really, REALLY stupid;
I changed the channel in the mysensors config.h to 77, this was the reason no node would ever show up since the default mysbootloader uses the default channel 76.
D'OH
Thanks for your patience and help, everything is working now and I'm really happy!

Hi. I was wondering if someone could get the irrigation controller working with this program?
I'm new to this all, and so far this the easiest controller that I came across. ( got the gateway etc working with almost no effort)

Hi, nice work. Is there any chances that you add the possibility to log the nodes information to a mysql database ?

Hi @tekka
I am having trouble understanding the error codes on this gui.It is the solar mini weather stn on proto board and it is not working properly.
At this minute I see that the g/w code is telling me 4-4-5-0 ,there was a node 5 in my My Sensors package and it was configured as a repeater but it is not here as it connected laptop> usb port/cord> ftdi 3.3v> 3.3 v promini.
As the code cannot get to and from node 5 it is a down as a st=failIs there a why to change this in your program to allow continuing debugging my sketch?
Am I again missing something?
Thanks

Sorry @tekka forgot the pic.

Hello guys, I'm trying to burn the MYSBootloader.hex into some Pro minis (clones) here, however after burning it, they get somehow 'bricked' :
- I'm using my Uno "as ISP" on IDE 1.6.4
- I've followed the step-by-step tutorial posted above by @tekka
- My pro-minis are 5V, 16Mhz, external clock , 328p, supposedly a perfect match with 'boards.txt' info...
- "Burn bootloader" ends successful, with "Done burning boot loader" message.
- After that, the pro-mini pin 13 led flashes in a kind of random pattern, and it is not possible to upload any sketch, nor any kind of serial monitor on any speed.
- I can revert it, by selecting the standard 'Arduino Pro or Pro Mini' board , and burn boot loader again. It makes the pro-mini gets back to live, I can upload my sketches and serial monitor it.
So my questions:
- I don't have extra eprom connected --- Is it mandatory? I've read somewhere that it can be disabled, but can't find the instructions anymore...
- Fuse adjustments?
- What else can I do in order to troubleshooting it?
Thanks!
-
@rvendrame: it seems to be wrong fuses. MYSBootloader does not use extra eeprom. It's DualOptiboot which uses one. You need to set fuses. Then burn bootloader. For fuses you need to look in boards.txt . It should work. For setting fuses, I use usbasp. I never tried with uno.
-
@scalz, thanks for the reply. BTW, did you see this?
Well, with standard bootloader (working), my pro-minis have fuses as FF DA 05 (Low/High/Ext).
The MYSBootloader.hex boot loader (not working) is set in boards.txt with F7 DA 06.
I have played with all possible combinations (including changing values in boards.txt), no luck.
Maybe I have to compile my own version of MYSBootloader? Sorry, this is all new to me...
Thx again

@rvendrame: Hi I don't have a mac. But I use a similar tool for win (avrdudess). but your link seems ok.
You don't have to recompile MYSBootloader. MYSBootloader needs to match fuses. If not, it will blink like you have seen. Do you have an usbasp? very useful. So you need to burn fuses F7 DA 06. Did you try that? And then burn bootloader.
Be careful when burning fuses, don't try combination or you will semi-brick atmel chip (meaning you could not be able to reprogram it normal spi way). Never enable RSTDISBL and DWEN bits in fuse. You can see all of this here http://www.engbedded.com/fusecalc/ very useful too!If in future you want to test new ota, I have made a small breadboard to test it. You can find it here : https://oshpark.com/profiles/scalz You will need to solder eeprom and atsha.
-
@scalz, yes I have tried to burn fuses F7 DA 06, and then MYSBootloader, no joy.
Maybe the main diference is the low fuse F7 ( = Ext.Clock full-swing Crystal ) , as my pro-minis run fine with FF ( = Ext. Crystal Osc 8.MHz ) ?
-
@scalz , one more thing: What speed did you set? The AVRFuses seems to work on at 19200 bps --- Could this be a problem?
And moreover --- You mentioned that extra eprom is not required --- But what about atsha? I don't have that either... (just pro-mini + radio ). Is it required for OTA?
-
@rvendrame: I am not at home at this moment. but I will check. baudrate is already set up in .hex and in boards.txt . So I think it should work..strange thing. I don't know MYSBootloader so. maybe grandmaster @Tekka have an idea
maybe something has changed. I don't know.extra eeprom is for new ota in mysensors 1.5
ATSHA is optional, it is just on the board too. It is for authentication in 1.5 too.
-
@scalz said:
extra eeprom is for new ota in mysensors 1.5
I'm using 1.5 --- So do I need the extra eprom ?
-
no. you don't need it.
two ota bootloaders are available for mysensors. MYSBootloader and Dualoptiboot. MYSBootloader does not require extra eeprom. Dualoptiboot needs it. sorry for confusion
-
@scalz said:
MYSBootloader does not require extra eeprom.
No problem, that's clear. Any other idea? The only thing I could progress was to catch the firmware upload in verbose mode (see bellow, it looks ok to me).
One question: Is it okay to have "Boot Flash size = 1024 words" , and the .hex file having ~32Kb ? More strange is that file has 5.676 bytes when I check it via Mac finder.

@rvendrame weird...the .hex file size is 5676 bytes (this is the intel hex format and MYSBootloader is under 2kb, so 1024 words are ok). The 32722 bytes are the cause of the problem...
You mentioned that burning the standard bootloader revives your Arduino - can you post the verbose mode output as comparison?
-
@tekka said:

Sure, here it is. Very similar (including the size of .hex file)... strange...

@rvendrame: when you try to upload a sketch, do you use ftdi? because I think you can't upload with ftdi in MYSBootloader. just ota. I looked quickly at the code. Am I right @tekka ? If you want ota+ftdi options, you must use dualoptiboot.
-
@scalz: for flashing bootloaders you have to communicate to the MCU via SPI (e.g. via USBasp, ArduinoISP, Atmel STK500, etc.) but not the usual (ftdi) serial interface.
MYSBootloader 1.1 supports only OTA sketch uploads (at the moment), this is right - but not related to the issue of @rvendrame
-
@scalz , @tekka, I'm using "Arduino as ISP" to burn the bootloader. I have my arduino Uno connected to mac via USB, and running on it the "ArduinoISP" sketch delivered with IDE.
The pins VCC, GND, 11, 12, 13 from Uno are connected to same pins of the pro-mini (the one being programmed). Pin 10 from uno goes to pro-mini's reset pin.
In summary, this scenario. It works perfectly for the standard pro-mini bootloader. I had success with both 3.3V and 5V versions.
To upload my sketches: I understand that I have to compile it, move the generated .hex file to the MYSController "Firmware" folder, and load it via 'Node -> Assign FW' . I did it this part with some sense benders that I have here, and it worked perfectly --- That made me thinking in re-flashing all pro-minis that I have with MYSbootloader
The problem is that my pro-minis get 'bricked' after burning the MYSbootloader --- pin led flashes randomly , no serial-monitor, I don't think they are really running.
Just to be 100% sure --- I just need the pro-mini itself connected during the "Tools -> Burn bootloader" ? No radio, no extra eprom, no atsha, ... right?
I tried to connect the radio to pro-mini after I burned the MYS, as a last desperated try (who know it would 'wake up' ). But no joy
Thx!
-
@scalz, @tekka, maybe if I re-compile the MYSbootloader to match my current fuses? I was trying to find a how-to, but could not find anything related. Perhaps you can give me some guidance on that too?
-
Very interesting, I´m having the exact issues with my pro minis.. It would be very helpful with a " how-to" to compile the Mysbootloader for pro minis 3.3V 8mhz.
Kindly
-
@f1dev, I'm just trying to thinking 'out of the box'. I really don't know why the MYSBootloader doesn't work (while the original arduino bootloader does).
@scalz, @tekka, looking at MYSBootloader makefile at github, I noticed you are using
ISP_PORT = com5 ISP_SPEED = 115200 ISP_PROTOCOL = stk500v2 ISP_MCU = m328pWell, my 'Arduino as ISP' only work as 'stk500v1' and 19200 bps --- Any other combination causes the "Yikes! invalid signature found" in avrdude, or no response at all (time-out). Could be that a different avr itself would introduce "strange bytes" during bootloader burning?
-
@rvendrame let me try some things here - can you make sure, that the MYSBootloader your are trying to flash is the one from the library and/or MYSController folder (maybe you can upload it here)?
Importantly, there is no need to re-compile MYSBootloader as it has been successfully tested down to 3.3V and 125kHz pro-minis (!). Can you please update your Arduino IDE to 1.6.5 so that we both run the same version?
-
@rvendrame the speed is not really an issue here - the bytes are verified after flashing...
-
@tekka, thank you so much. I have downloaded the .hex again from github, just for the sake. Anyway it is here MYSBootloader.hex I'm using.
-
@rvendrame said:
Hello guys, I'm trying to burn the MYSBootloader.hex into some Pro minis (clones) here, however after burning it, they get somehow 'bricked' :
- I'm using my Uno "as ISP" on IDE 1.6.4
- I've followed the step-by-step tutorial posted above by @tekka
- My pro-minis are 5V, 16Mhz, external clock , 328p, supposedly a perfect match with 'boards.txt' info...
- "Burn bootloader" ends successful, with "Done burning boot loader" message.
- After that, the pro-mini pin 13 led flashes in a kind of random pattern, and it is not possible to upload any sketch, nor any kind of serial monitor on any speed.
- I can revert it, by selecting the standard 'Arduino Pro or Pro Mini' board , and burn boot loader again. It makes the pro-mini gets back to live, I can upload my sketches and serial monitor it.
So my questions:
- I don't have extra eprom connected --- Is it mandatory? I've read somewhere that it can be disabled, but can't find the instructions anymore...
- Fuse adjustments?
- What else can I do in order to troubleshooting it?
Thanks!
How do you know that the bootloader is not functioning properly? you connected the RF module as mentioned earlier? The led is blinking irregularly due to SPI...Do you get a startup message (from MYSBootloader) in MYSController?
The 327xx bytes mentioned in verbose mode are correct - the entire flash is overwritten...
-
Yes, I connect the radio and start the node, but nothing happens --- No serial monitor, nothing in MYSController. Just the pin 13 led flashing randomly.

Just flashed MYSController.hex on my Arduino pro mini 3V3 and the fuses as mentioned in the boards.txt (L: 0xF7 E: 0x06 H: 0xDA), using USBasp and everything works smoothly...
Please keep in mind: There is no serial monitor for MYSBootloader and the 13 led flashing is normal
Can you try this (in the indicated order):
0) Update Arduino IDE to 1.6.5- burn the original bootloader and upload the clear eeprom sketch
- burn MYSController, disconnect flasher and connect nRF24L01+ module
- download the most recent MySensors 1.5 library and upload the GW sketch
- launch MYSController 0.1.2.282, activate AutoID, Logging and connect to the serial GW
- let it run for a few mins and upload the log-file here
-
@tekka, just to clarify, in step 4 above - the 'upload GW sketch' should be OTA? Or via regular FT232 adapter?
-
@rvendrame: I think it is ota. With MYSBootloader you can't use ftdi for uploading sketch.
-
@scalz, thx. I will give it a try tonight.

I meant to update the Gateway node with the most recent Serialgateway sketch...

Yep, I'm already on latest version on GW. My GW runs on a pro-mini, with standard bootloader --- I guess this is not a issue?

and MYSController is connected via USB/FTDI to the GW...?

It is connected via USB/FTDI into a mac-mini running a TCP-to-serial SW. (so both Vera and MYSController can reach it using IP address). Works like a charm, I can see all nodes and messages, no connection issues so far.
Is it required the GW running on MYSBootloader? I hope not...
-
@rvendrame Sensor nodes with MYSBootloader (unless they are Sensebender boards) and GW with original bootloader. Curious to see your logs.
-
EDIT: @tekka, @scalz , after so many tries, I don't know why I decided to replace the nRF radio , and guess what?
Funny thing is that the previous radio is working with regular bootloader. Dam fake chips! But I will sort it out later, now I want to play with my OTA
Thanks a lot!
-
@rvendrame: so cool. I am happy for you!
See you soon
-
@tekka do MYSBootloader also work with the RFM69 radios?
-
@rvendrame excellent
-
@Francois No, in it's current stage only nRF24L01+, but porting to RFM69 should not be too difficult...
-
@tekka silly ?
But still last night changed from serial to Ethernet gw using iboard wiz5100 and the h/w changes.
No issues but for later problems do I ---use myscontroller by way of FTDI connector>usb or
-- continue to plug the original serial gw into laptop leaving Ethernet still in use ( plugged in).

I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Are you having issues with the EthernetGW?
-
@tekka No everything is ok now but there will be problems in the future to sort out if history repeats itself.
So it is just a learning question for troubleshooting later.
To "see" Ethernet gw in your gui use FDTI>usb>laptop (with gw still connected to the router) or use the serial gw I had from before connected remotely to laptop via usb..
As of now I use only Ethernet gw plugged into router and the serial gw is no longer plugged into my vera.

@tekka I feel really, really, REALLY stupid;
I changed the channel in the mysensors config.h to 77, this was the reason no node would ever show up since the default mysbootloader uses the default channel 76.
D'OH
Thanks for your patience and help, everything is working now and I'm really happy!
@tekka is there a way to change the default channel in MYSbootloader ?
-
What ware the designed values for "type" in the fimware_config.csv?
Can I use this variable for my sensor IDs?
-
@tekka, I've being playing with MYSController and MYSBootloader over last days, I'm totally amazed by them
Thank you so much for developing such nice tool!If you allow me, I have only one ask for the santa-claus list: Perhaps it is possible for MYSBootloader capture serial output from a node, allowing OTA Serial monitor via MYSController? I know you guys are doing a miracle within 2KB, but who knows...
Again, thanks a lot!

Yes, but for that you'll have to re-compile it.
