PiGatewaySerial doesn't write to virtual serial device /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway

[Michele Rappazzo]

Hi, I have some troubles with PiGatewaySerial (last version from github), raspberry pi Model B Revision 2.0 (000e)

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor	: 0
model name	: ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)
BogoMIPS	: 2.00
Features	: half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls 
CPU implementer	: 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant	: 0x0

CPU revision	: 7

Hardware	: BCM2708
Revision	: 000e
Serial		: 00000000b9b39005

When i execute ./PiGatewaySerial, it prints on the screen values read from sensors, but
it doesn't write anything on the virtual serial device /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway

$ sudo ./PiGatewaySerial

instead, if i read from /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway i obtain only the first
message by the gateway, nothing else.

$ sudo cat /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway
0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.

$ ls -al /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 nov  5 16:32 /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway -> /dev/pts/0

$ ls -al /dev/pts/*
crw-rw---- 1 root tty  136, 0 nov  5 16:32 /dev/pts/0

c--------- 1 root root   5, 2 gen  1  1970 /dev/pts/ptmx

if i understood anything i think i should find all the messages from remote nodes in /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway but it isn't working like this.
Can you help me please?

Try adding a capacitor on the radio.

@hek really? Have you read all? How can adding a capacitor write things on the serial instead of terminal output? :O

[hek]

Sorry, can't help you with this one. .. only saw some st=fails in the log which could indicate powering issue of the radio...

[Michele Rappazzo]

I added the capacitor, but there's always the same problem :(
