Having trouble getting 2.0.1-beta running on Raspberry Pi2 as gateway and controller

[micah]

I think I've read every topic on this so far and I must have tried every combination.... and I'm stuck, so I'm hoping someone can see my mistake and help me get this sorted

Here is how I setup MySensors on my Raspberry Pi 2 - I followed the guide to install the NRF24L01+ PA/LNA radio with 4.7µ decoupling (and it previously worked on version 1.4 of mysensors)

Here is the contents of my mysGateway.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <unistd.h>
#define MY_LINUX_CONFIG_FILE "/etc/mysensors.dat"
#define MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS 20
#define MY_IS_SERIAL_PTY
#define MY_LINUX_SERIAL_PTY "/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway"
#define MY_LINUX_SERIAL_GROUPNAME "tty"
#include <MySensors.h>
void setup() {}
void presentation() {}
void loop() {}

Here is how I make and then monitor it

./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-rf24-pa-level=RF24_PA_LOW
sudo make all
sudo make install
sudo ./examples_linux/mysGateway -d

Here is my Arduino Node code - It's a simple Uno with a DHT sensor and an NRF24L01+ radio with 4.7µ decoupling

#define MY_DEBUG
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
#define MY_NODE_ID 5
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensors.h>  
#include <DHT.h>  

#define CHILD_ID_HUM 0
#define CHILD_ID_TEMP 1
#define HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN 5

DHT dht;
float lastTemp;
float lastHum;
boolean metric = true; 
MyMessage msgHum(CHILD_ID_HUM, V_HUM);
MyMessage msgTemp(CHILD_ID_TEMP, V_TEMP);

unsigned long pMillis_DHT = 0;
long sCheck_DHT = 10000;

bool requestACK = false;

void setup(){ 
  dht.setup(HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN); 
  metric = getConfig().isMetric;
}
void presentation(){ 
  // Send the Sketch Version Information to the Gateway
  sendSketchInfo("Just Temperature and Humidity", "0.1");
  // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  present(CHILD_ID_HUM, S_HUM, "DHT22 Humidity", requestACK);
  present(CHILD_ID_TEMP, S_TEMP, "DHT22 Temperature", requestACK);
}

void loop(){  
  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
 
  // Check Temp and Humidity
  if (currentMillis - pMillis_DHT >= sCheck_DHT){
    pMillis_DHT = currentMillis;
    
    float temperature = dht.getTemperature();
    if (isnan(temperature)) {
        Serial.println("Failed reading temperature from DHT");
    } else if (temperature != lastTemp) {
      lastTemp = temperature;
      if (!metric) {
        temperature = dht.toFahrenheit(temperature);
      }
      send(msgTemp.set(temperature, 1));
      #ifdef MY_DEBUG
      Serial.print("T: ");
      Serial.println(temperature);
      #endif
    }
    
    // Fetch humidity from DHT sensor
    float humidity = dht.getHumidity();
    if (isnan(humidity)) {
        Serial.println("Failed reading humidity from DHT");
    } else if (humidity != lastHum) {
        lastHum = humidity;
        send(msgHum.set(humidity, 1));
        #ifdef MY_DEBUG
        Serial.print("H: ");
        Serial.println(humidity);
        #endif
    }
  }
}

So far I thought I was doing everything correctly.... but here is my debug output

So I'm totally confused by these messages... it seems like they are hearing each other but are having trouble communicating properly.

HELP!!!

Other things I've tried....

1. make sure the connections are good --- CHECK
2. make sure there is enough distance --- CHECK (about 15 feet)
3. cleareepron on node and reload code --- CHECK
4. test with two arduinos -- CHECK (I setup another arduino with a radio as a gateway and it communicated properly with the node described above)

Also, I'm using a fresh download of the mysensor libraries... from yesterday on both the Rp2 and my arduino

[micah]

Just tried a few more things...

1. added irq pin 15 to Rp2, then rebuild with the following --- CHECK

./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-rf24-pa-level=RF24_PA_LOW --my-rf24-irq-pin=15

2. soldered decoupling capacitor to both radios (previously they were jammed into the wires) --- CHECK
3. rechecked all wires --- CHECK

UPDATE

I think it's a problem with the arduino board itself.

So since my previous posts I've tried multiple radios and I've got a 4 working nodes now:

1. Mega + NRF24
2. UNO R3 + NRF24
3. DCcEle (clone) + NRF24
4. Nano DCCduino (clone) + NRF24

Plus the Raspberry Pi 2 as gateway with NRF24L01+ PA/LNA is working.

So... it seems like it's a problem with that Uno board.... weird.

I've tried multiple radios (specifically ones that worked on the other boards) and none of them work. Like I said before, the board and the Rp2 seem to be communication but not properly.

Has anyone ran into a similar problem before?
