    Playing with a RPI 3 B and a NRF24+ radio I got this error message above.
    Running Jessie but with no luck...

    Anybody else got this problem?

    @Sander-Stolk did you run

    sudo make install
    

    ?
    What happens if you run

    sudo /usr/local/sbin/PiGatewaySerial
    

    ?

      Tnx that worked but this is not in the tutorial I'm I right?

      If this happens, double-check your wiring and correct any problems. Press Ctrl+Z and type
      
      sudo killall PiGatewaySerial
      to get rid of the non-functioning Gateway. Then run sudo /usr/local/sbin/PiGatewaySerial again
      
      If all is well, exit PiGatewaySerial by pressing Ctrl+C. Then run
      
      sudo /etc/init.d/PiGatewaySerial start
      to start the gateway as a background process. Verify that it started correctly by running```

        Yes it is. See the section under
        COMPILING THE GATEWAY

        also, you ran sudo ./PiGatewaySerial instead of sudo /usr/local/sbin/PiGatewaySerial described in the instructions.

          I have added a
          TROUBLESHOOTING
          section in the original post to cover for this error. Hopefully it can help if someone else makes the same mistake.

            Any thoughts on making a version for the 2.0 dev branch?

            I recently switched my in-progress builds to 2.0 and am in the process of "trying" to get my Raspberry Pi2 setup with OpenHab and Mosquito. And the idea of not having to have an ethernet gateway arduino in the mix is appealing to me.

            I would do it myself but I probably only have 3.275% of the required knowledge at this point

              I'm unfortunately at about the same level as you. I can compile stuff and do basic troubleshooting, but merging the dev branch with the gateway code is way out of my league.

                There is no way you are at 3.275% knowledge like me... I've seen many of your posts on here and you are at least a 4.532%... lol.... no honestly I've liked your posts and you seem very knowledgeable. You've got to be at least a 84.5% ;)

                  Can somebody tell me how to change the channel after compiling and using the Gateway for a couple of days?
                  Changing the channel in MyConfig.h in the dir Raspberry doesnt bother even after a reboot.
                  Still 0x4c channel / 76 when I run the PiSerialGateway program.

                    Did you recompile the code after changing the channel?

                      @alexsh1 I did this after changeing the channel in MyConfig.h: make all && sudo make install
                      Rebooted after that but no luck

                        That should be sufficient but you could see if running make clean before make all helps.

                          @mfalkvidd I did the make clean and the make install and rebooted.

                            @mfalkvidd I did the make clean and the make install and rebooted.
                            Still 0x4c eq. 76

                            @Sander-Stolk I don't see a new make install in your output. Did you miss that or is the output just not included?

                            make all compiles the code. The result is a binary file in the Raspberry folder
                            make install copies the binary (and some scripts I think) from the Raspberry folder to the system folders.

                              Ok here's the deal to change the channel or other settings:

                              cd Raspberry
                              make clean
                              make all
                              sudo make install
                              Done!

                                Does anyone know what this error is about?
                                RPi2, NRF24l01, OSMC (Debian jessie), Domoticz v3.5051.

                                I can run the gateway even with the error, i can also add it to Domoticz and send/receive data.
                                But after a few minutes i get a massive error in domoticz saying "(24) Too many files open" on every logentry and my domoticz loose connection to the Logitech mediaserver, remote Kodi hardware, mqtt server etc.

                                    @cingolanifede the Raspberry Pi gateway does not support signing.

                                      I'm looking for some help in getting "PiGatewaySerial" running properly. I am having no issue running "PiGateway" and receiving all data from a counter node I'm using for testing. When I try to run "PiGatewaySerial", only intermittent data appears. For this example, I have my counter sending increasing integers at 1 second intervals, and receives fewer than 1 in 25 through the "PiGatewaySerial" script. I previously had this working reliably on a RPi2, reading in the tty output and logging it to a file. Now, I cannot repeat that on either that device, nor the current RPi B+ I'm working with. I'm sure there's some basic setting that I'm missing, but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!

                                      An example of "PiGateway" correctly receiving all messages:

                                      I'm running a RPi B+, NRF24l01+, on a clean install of Jessie, and using only a few percent of the CPU power.

                                        I have been thinking about giving this a try But:-
                                        The Raspberry port is using protocol version 1.4.
                                        Do the sensors also have to use version 1.4?

                                          No, the sensors can be running 1.5 or 2.0-beta, the PI will run a 1.4 version.
                                          The only thing not supported by the PiGateway is message signing.
                                          But I have a mix of sensors in 1.5, 1.6-beta and 2.0-beta in my home network, so it certainly works.
