Information about the data

[A Former User]

Just getting started with MySensors. I have 3 Nano Nodes connected to a Uno gateway setup. In viewing the Serial Monitor, I'm trying to figure out what the numbers and letters being displayed mean. ex.

0;0;3;0;9;read: 0-0-0 s=0,c=1,t=23,pt=2,l=2,sg=0:455
0;0;1;0;23;455

This seems to be a very robust system as when I loaded up the sketch, the Nano was seen right away and was integrated into the Gateway. Is there a basic format that the information needs to be in when creating your own sensor to be integrated into this system and be seen by the Gateway?

Thank you for any information

Start by looking at the examples at http://www.mysensors.org/build

Then go and read the API docs at http://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_15

Perhaps read up on the serial API as well

I looked through the areas you suggested but I didn't see any reference to the letters used in the following line of data or how the data is laid out.

0;0;3;0;9;read: 0-0-0 s=0,c=1,t=23,pt=2,l=2,sg=0:455
0;0;1;0;23;455

I did figure out that the last number at the end of the line was the data being sent.
Can I assume that you can't use the data directly from the gateway, It has to be connected into a VERA box?
