Hello Guys,
i tried to build my first mySensors - Serial Gateway.
It does not seem to work, since the serial monitor gives the following output messages:0;255;3;0;9;Starting gateway (RNNGA-, 2.0.0) 0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT 0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=0, value=14 0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=3, value=3 0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=4, value=95 0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=5, value=76 0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=6, value=35 0;255;3;0;9;RF24:read register, reg=6, value=255 0;255;3;0;9;RF24:read register, reg=5, value=255 0;255;3;0;9;RF24:Sanity check failed: configuration mismatch!

- Download and install Arduino IDE.
- In Arduino IDE, downloaded the MySensors library
- I took the sketch from the example GatewaySerial ( File/Examples/MySensors/GatewaySerial )
- Uploaded the sketch with these 2 additional Defines:
#define MY_NODE_ID 124 #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RF24Since i thought the problem could be, that i need a controller to get rid of those error messages, i put the my_node_id to a random value, and to get some more error details i put the verbose_rf24 in the defines.
So the final sketch, that i'm uploading is:
/** * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes. * * Created by Henrik Ekblad <henrik.ekblad@mysensors.org> * Copyright (C) 2013-2015 Sensnology AB * Full contributor list: https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/graphs/contributors * * Documentation: http://www.mysensors.org * Support Forum: http://forum.mysensors.org * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License * version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation. * ******************************* * * DESCRIPTION * The ArduinoGateway prints data received from sensors on the serial link. * The gateway accepts input on seral which will be sent out on radio network. * * The GW code is designed for Arduino Nano 328p / 16MHz * * Wire connections (OPTIONAL): * - Inclusion button should be connected between digital pin 3 and GND * - RX/TX/ERR leds need to be connected between +5V (anode) and digital pin 6/5/4 with resistor 270-330R in a series * * LEDs (OPTIONAL): * - To use the feature, uncomment MY_LEDS_BLINKING_FEATURE in MyConfig.h * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved.

Windows 10 ( I also tried it with my macbook pro MacOs X, same result. )The Hardware, that I'm using:
- Arduino Nano with CH340g Chip ( Working without manually installing driver on win10 )
- NRF24L01+, The text on the chip is:
NRF M
24L01+
1452AB
- Capacitor 4.7uF
- Jumper Cables
- Usb - to MicroUsb Cable
- Board
What i tried so far:
- Replacing the NRF24L01+ with ones from a different manufacturer.
- Downloading MySensors API manually from Homepage and copy paste the sample from the MySensors Site.
- Re-wiring all the components.
- Searching forum and google for similar problems.
Sadly, nothing of this helped me so far.
Here's how i wired things up:
Note: For simplicity i used the same colors for my cables as the ones in the exampleArduino:
NRF24L01+:
If you have any ideas what i could have missed, or what i could try to get it working, please let me know.
Thank you in advance. -
Hello.
have you missed to solder pinheaders to your arduino nano ? on the pics it looks like..
That would explain your miswiring error in log.I hope this helps.
