RS485/RS232/Serial transport class for mysensors.org
-
Is there any how-to's on this transport class as far as the hardware goes? How does it work with multiple nodes? Is it like a ring pattern? or do all the nodes have to have a dedicated connection to the gateway.

Is it possible, to built a esp8266 wifi gateway and communicate GW to node with rs485?
In altsoft esp8266 is not decleared, so i can't use it out of the box.Btw: I tested my_rs485 with nano as GW and Pro Mini as node, and it worked great. Thank you :)

@hausinger if you know about coding..
- plain C lib for esp8266, it can be adapted to work with Arduino Esp: https://github.com/plieningerweb/esp8266-software-uart
- or use stock arduino esp8266 software serial lib (https://github.com/plerup/espsoftwareserial), and inspire yourself from lib above, and code your CE pin management..

How about adding the following define to use the Serial1/2 on Mega. I have not tested yet but assuming the AltSoftSerial lib has the same interface/functionality it should work.

@hek Thanks for the quick response. I'm looking for some direction (this might not be the right forum).
I want to create a node to control my Itho Ecofan ventilation box. I now have a working program (thanks to the help of Rogier Reedijk The nodo now uses a CC1101 transceiver to control the box and thus uses the SPI bus. I'm looking for some direction to use this transmitter as part of my sensor network so I can control it from my Domoticz. Hope you can give me some directions how to proceed. -
Hello,
I have a problem running gatewayserial to rs-485 and the node with the usual lightsensor.
NODE # 1 as a gateway and tried to upload a sketch of the library 2.0 and 1.5.4, and the monitor serial I can not see any data, I use to check on the serial PuTTy com6 because the converter rs-485 to USB is connected to the PC.NODE # 2 as a light sensor, during the upload Sketch by arduino programmer for serial monitor can see the data being sent but after plugging arduino to rs-485 as below no longer visible.
My question is whether I have something wrong with the connection or sketch, can someone show an example of a complete sketch for the gateway, and a node?
Connection mine looks like this:
TX and RX Connect was to pins 0 and 1 in arduino or 8 and 9, DE is always PIN 2.
-
so this is a 1 to 1 setup right? There is nothing here for multiple serial nodes correct?
