[Solved] Does not work after latest update

[Jic]

@Emil-Besirevic I have the same problem, I follow the same steps. I have already soldered a 22uF + 100nF, but I still have the problem.
Is yours still working? Any other idea?

Thanks

Hi! I have only soldered a 22uF on all, the arduino nano nodes and the esp8266 gate which uses a nrf24l01 antenna version, and it all works great still! Have you tried with different modules?

[Jic]

@Emil-Besirevic
yes, I have tested:

• with diffetents modules of nrf24l01+,

• with the NRF24L01+ Socket Adapter Board.

• with 10uF+100nF capacitor and 22uF+100nF capacitor

• with diferents Arduino nano, and also with an Arduino One

And no success, I'm a bit frustrated now. I suppouse that the problem it is with software it's unlikey that all hardware are wrong.
I don't know if the problem is in Arduino nano + nrf24l01plus or in the rpi gateway connected to the GPIO.
Somebody know how can I test it?

Thanks

Hello everybody!
This my first post, but I've been reading for a long while and realy admire the team for the work done :)

I have moved to development branch, I have latest MySensors on my gateway (Rpi2 + nrf24l01+plna, caps and reg to solve the power issue), burned the MYSBootloader (8MHz internal) and could upload the binary scetch via serial.
Now i have that problem with !TSM:FPAR:NO REPLY on the node side.
I can see the FPAR request on the gateway side.

Though there is no sign of activity in MYSController (the one included with the MYSBootloader archive)

I have tried differen radio modules, different pro minis, modules not jumper wired but soldered with short wires and caps (10, 20, 47 uF). The other 3 nodes are responding (2 x si7021 + motion sensor) but they are on 1.5 version I suppose.

EDIT: The interestinf thing is that I tried to update my perfectly working motion sensor and it doesn't work now.

@Tigroenot I have the same errors until I soldered the nrf24l01 module.
Power supply and wired it is very important with this module. I think a have a lot of problems with jumper wires.

Be also sure that you are using the last binding

https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/blob/MySensors/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.mysensors/target/org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

[Tigroenot]

@Jic I have all Nrf24 modules soldered, with caps (tried 20 and 47 uF), I have three versions of Nrf24 modules: from the mysensors shop, smd and plna. On the gateway I have plna, on sensors I have both the others. Those sensors worked fine for almost a year, and stoped after I have updated them to 2.0.0 or development branch. On the gateway side I have latest development version.
Maybe all my radio modules are clones that do not work with the versions of mysensors higher than 1.4?

And I use domoticz. Maybe I should switch to openhub?

I just upgraded all my nodes + gateway to latest dev branch (2.10) and it's working great with home assistant, they communicate without issues. As mentioned earlier my setup is nrf24l01 (with antenna mod) for all nodes (arduino nano) and then the gateway (esp8266) is with a nrf24l01+plna, and they all have a 22uF cap, it's been like 6+ months and it's been working great this far. I ordered all the nrf24l01 from aliexpress.

[Tigroenot]

I will try to move my gateway from raspberry to esp. When I compiled gateway on raspberry it has argued on some parameter in config, I removed the cortex a7 entry and all went fine. Maybe it was the issue.

[Jic]

@Tigroenot Have you Clean the Eprom before update to mysensors 2.0?

https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/master/examples/ClearEepromConfig/ClearEepromConfig.ino

Sometimes it solve me somes issues

[Tigroenot]

@Jic I sure did, to erase the node id value.

Reporting: I have thrown away the capacitors that I've bought from Ali and replaced them by those bougth here localy (47uF) and everything worked like a charm! So to admit, the promblem IS indeed in the decoupling capacitors! Very happy guy here! :)
