See last post ;-)

Off to zzzz now... Good luck!

@gregl You must have been typing as I was :)

thanks

I used your "boards.txt" and it compiled and uploaded but i had no output on the Serial Monitor
So I switched board types to the Pro-mini 3.3v and got this:

So far I'm getting nowhere but I'm getting there at record speed :) And i have two of these devices in exactly the same condition --- OOPS :)

The board LED no longer comes on so something has changed. i tried running it live and including it in Vera but nothing was found so i doubt anything is actually happening. I've run the ClearEEProm sketch to see if that would help to no avail. i've tried using the SEEED board settings as well as the Pro Mini.

Clearly i have some other problem but i don't know what at this stage. Back to the drawing board :)

Ok .. so i get that mess from the serial output when ive used the "low power/low freq" board.

So... why dont you get your sketch working - added to Vera etc...debuggin with serial output etc by setting it as a Nano 328...then when its all working nicely, change to use the low power board settings and re-upload.

Thats what i did and im happy with that.

[clippermiami]

@gregl Normally I would but the garbled serial output is with the Pro Mini setting, I get nothing with the low per settings. So at this point I can't be certain I've got anything

[gregl]

what if u try as a nano ?
Did u set the programmer to the 3.3v setting?

[gregl]

also dont have batteries in them whilst you have the programmer plugged in...else it will try to charge them!

[clippermiami]

@gregl I spent some time on it again but nothing.

Using your DevDuino_BatteryPoweredSensorTest.ino:

I tried it as both a Nano and a Pro-Mini. The Serial monitor output is attached, garbled.

I ran the inclusion on Vera to see if anything was working anyway but it didn't find anything. I tried a second DevDuino with exactly the same results, garbled Serial monitor output and nothing on attempting to include in Vera.

So as of now nothing is happening and I have three DevDuinos that do nothing.

Hi John...sorry to hear your having such problems!

Ok - what if you forget all about mysensors stuff and just try some of the basic arduino examples?

like blink the led on pin 9 ?

or a sketch to serial print one of the analog pin values?

Then if that stuff works then move back into Mysensors and boards.txt changes....

@gregl I heard from deviktor (sp?) the hardware developer in Russia with a suggested
Sketch change but I haven't had time to try it yet. I'm trying to build a custom WiFi camera for my front door feeding Blue Iris running under Windows XP. The camera uses RTSP protocol and I can't get this implementation of XP to support RTSP some reason. Works fine with my ThinkPad but this particular XP isn't cooperating :-) I've been in IT all my life and I've learned to hate computers :-)

Hopefully I'll give his suggestion a try this week

void setup ()
{
Serial.Begin(9600);
etc

I just tried my DevDuino V2 and it worked using the DevDuino_BatteryPoweredSensorTest.ino that Gregl provided earlier.

Here's my setup,

Mac Mini OSX 10.9.4
Arduino 1.0.5 software
Foca v2.2 for programming
MySensors 1.2+ (looks like I need to update it!)
And the DevDuino V2.

My Arduino 1.0.5 software is stock. I've not meddled with the boards.txt file or anything else.

I had to set the Board setting to Duemilanove w / ATMega 328 to get it to program.

Prior to programming I was also able to check the preloaded code that the DevDuino comes loaded with. It blinks an LED and spits out "Testing board, Test OK" on the serial/prog connection. I forget the baud rate but it was pretty high. I was able to run the Blink sketch by changing the "int led = 13;" to "int led = 9;"

Also, make sure you don't put the programmer in the wrong way around. I had to buzz out the ground pin first.

Once I programmed with Gregl's code I got garbage out of the programming port, I tried a few baud rates but didn't worry about it. Then I hit the Start button on the Vera Gateway Plugin, dropped in two AAA's and it picked it up as two devices almost immediately. Temperature is working, and the other device is coming up as Arduino Node 1.

@Jason I'll probably be able to get back to it tomorrow (Sunday). My configuration is similar but I'm on Library 1.3b and Windows.

Same sketch on CodeBender ;-) - see related post on Codebender here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/296/embed-code-in-forum-using-codebender Pretty cool i think!!

And the "boards.txt" i uploaded to allow for 1mhz operation....
devduino_board.txt

• you can add this here for your own use codebender.cc/boards - upload it to "Add Personal Boards"

[gregl]

Here is in effect the same sketch for 1.4.
Im using @Yveaux 's vcc library this time.vcc library

Im no longer using the changed boards.txt. - it doesnt seem to do anything ( other than stuffing the serial output)
