Vera Inclusion Not Working

[MisterE]

In the serial window I'm getting "0;0;ô" followed by several "à" characters.

In the Arduino IDE, I'm seeing this in the bottom window:

Error inside Serial.serialEvent()
java.io.IOException: Bad file descriptor in nativeavailable
at gnu.io.RXTXPort.nativeavailable(Native Method)
at gnu.io.RXTXPort$SerialInputStream.available(RXTXPort.java:1532)

I am using an Arduino Nano v3.0.

You must set the right baudrate in serial window, otherwise you will only get garbage.
(default 115200)

[MisterE]

@Malx Thanks. I checked the baud rate in the Serial Window. It is set to 115200.

[MisterE]

I've checked it on a fresh Arduino IDE install and I'm not seeing anything in the Serial Window. I've uncommented the debug line in config.h. If the Serial Gateway is working properly, should I see messages in the Serial Window?

Is anyone using MySensors with UI6?

[MisterE]

I switched to the Ethernet Gateway and I'm now able to see that the Inclusion mode is starting. The start button is highlighted and stays in Inclusion mode for 60 seconds. I haven't yet been able to get it to include a sensor and I'm seeing the following in the Vera log files:

The 6th through 9th line are showing errors. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

The errors is not related to Arduino plugin.

You seem to receive the version from your arduino (which means that communication between vera<->gw is working).

Please check the troubleshoot guide and post sensor debug logs for further assistance.

@MisterE

Are you using the capacitors on the radios?

[MisterE]

@HEK I went through the troubleshoot guide.

I am using the latest version of the MySensors library. The plugin version does not match the library version (Plugin Version 1.3 vs. Lib Version 1.2+). My understanding based upon another post, is that this discrepancy should be fine.
I've triple-checked the radio wiring.
I have not tried adding a decoupling capacitor.
I am not using an amplified version of the NRF24L01+ chip.

Below is a copy of the sensor debug logs:

These three lines appear about every second:

Relaying message back to gateway.
Tx: fr=255,to=0,la=255,ne=0,ci=255,mt=4,ty=5,cr=136:
Ack: receive timeout

These two lines appear every 10 seconds:

No relay nodes was found. Trying again in 10 seconds.
Tx: fr=255,to=255,la=255,ne=255,ci=255,mt=4,ty=9,cr=184:

@BULLDOGLOWELL I haven't tried the capacitors yet. I'll order some and give it a try. FWIW, I have the radios within a few feet of each other.

If there's anything else you can suggest, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Robert

While waiting for the capacitors you can always try to switch radio (if you got the 10-pack) to rule out HW failure.
Which type of Arduino are you using for the sensor side? And what type of regulator (if any)?

[MisterE]

@hek That was it. I swapped the radio and all is well. Thank you for your patience HEK!

@MisterE
Good!

If you try the "broken" radio with a capacitor it will probably work fine.
