Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

[Francois]

@tekka do MYSBootloader also work with the RFM69 radios?

[tekka]

@rvendrame excellent :)

[tekka]

@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?

[5546dug]

@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!
:+1:

@tekka is there a way to change the default channel in MYSbootloader ?

[Pendragon]

What ware the designed values for "type" in the fimware_config.csv?
Can I use this variable for my sensor IDs?

[rvendrame]

@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.

Yes, but this is only an internal reference and not being used for AutoFW assignment

This sounds like a great app! What is the current status? I clicked on the link in the OP expecting it would connect with GitHub (where there might be a ReadMe.txt which tells what the current status is), but instad of that it just downloaded the app right then and there! There are now 197 posts on this thread, which is a bit many to sort through to find the status....

Move it to Github?

Thanks, I'm glad you like the tools. :)
Unfortunately your suggestion is not possible: bootloader and sketch run sequentially, not in parallel, and thus, cannot communicate with each other.

The first post is updated once a new version is released :)

So then, as far as status goes, based on the version number, I guess it's still an unstable alpha release? Am I reading between the lines correctly?

I did download it, and I can see that the files are from 7/25/2015, but there's no readme or other indication as to its status.

I imagine others probably have the same question....

[tekka]

@NeverDie No, just never felt to change the major version number...I'll add it to the feature requests :)

Maybe by re-implementing serial.print methods, in order to first checking which FW is installed, and if MYSBootloader, re-direct the output to a internal radio message? Just brainstorming....

Could you help me to find where to change channel? It is in MYSBootloaderHW.h ?

[Pendragon]

Du you all connect the controller direct to the gateway?

I have a serial gateway which is connected directly to a raspberry running domoticz. I can rum ser2net and then connect the MYSController via ethernet. While ser2net is running, domoticz does not get any data from the gateway.

Has anyone found a solution to use both, MYSController and a controller software (e.g. domoticz) in parallel?

No, it's defined in MyConfig.h (see here)
