RFM69 problems

Ok so I should use the serialgateway sketch from the arduino master? I did not find any other serialgateway sketch in arduino development than the one I posten.

No, you're using the right one.
I extracted Arduino-development to a separate folder in my sketchbook location witout replacing anything. I then got an error saying it could not find Mysensors.h so I copied it to the Gatewayserial folder
You must replace the WHOLE MySensors library folder. Not just copying the MySensors.h.
-
Ok, tried again and I think I got it right this time as I got three tabs in the arduino IDE when opening the serialgateway-sketch, before I only got one tab.
But now I have the same error as you shown hek, what does this mean:
#if !defined(MY_GATEWAY_FEATURE) && !defined(MY_RADIO_FEATURE) #error No forward link or gateway feature activated. This means nowhere to send messages! Pretty pointless. #endifI already have this in the gateway sketch:
#define MY_RADIO_RFM69#define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL -
Ahh, finally. I used the sketchbook location for everything like it says in the info for 1.5. When I copied all the development libraries into the Arduino libraries folder it worked.
-
I tried changing computers and it seems to work better now, But I just realized something where or how do I set the frequency of the rfm radio?
-
Put one of these in your sketch
#define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_433MHZ #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_868MHZ #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_915MHZI should probably try to find some time starting to document the 1.6 features. But most of them is already easy to find by reading MyConfig.h.

@hek said:
#define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_868MHZ
ok, if I dont specify this in my sketch will it default to either frequency?
-
Ok, all my radios is 868Mhz so the problem is something else. I always get similar errors from the serial monitor after complying sensor-sketches.

It says radio init successful, but can it still be radio problems?
-
Well I changed the CHILD_ID_LIGHT to 7 in the lightlux sensor sketch, I don't know if that was right. But nothing shows up in domoticz.
I get this from serial monitor:

I dont't know how many times I have tried to fix my rfm69 issues but no success.
I have got a new raspberry pi 2 controller, formatted/reinstalled my pc, bought a powered usb hub, changed my serialgateway and resoldering sensor-nodes and gateways several times.
The gateway seems too start up fine, but when I power any sensor I get this in domoticz log:

I have to remove the usb cable and insert it again or reboot to get the usb port back.

why not connect the NRF24 directly to your Raspi2 and run PiSerialGateway on Raspi itself ?
