💬 Sensebender Gateway

No, platformio is still on my bucketlist.. There is just not hours enough for everything :)
-
Has anyone designed a case for the sensebender gateway ?

Tea time..
Here is my custom box for your RFM69 Sensebender GW ! Beautiful board though ;)
No nail no screw :)
Last final minor check and i release the files, sure! (i've done one for nrf too in case..)

@scalz beautiful box!!!
Looking forward to print it too as soon as you publish it, but mine will be with nrf24l01+. Having been running both networks, I'm so much in favour of rfm69. It just works. No more caps to stabilise power or any other rf issues.I have decided to use Moteino Mega with a built-in antenna as rfm69 gateway though - it is very small and goes inside into an RPi box. And has got more memory than atmega328p

Little gift.. :)
Custom box for the NRF non PA version:
A bit enlarged for NRF.
And here the 3d preview for both versions with my little cheat for bicolor as i've still not added this feature to my printer
You can see i've added a little slot near usb on the NRF version, it's for the leds indication in case box wouldn't be white (no need for white box, you can see it by transparency). I'll do the same for rfm69, and put variant stl with it or not.Next Nrf PA version, and that'll be fine ;)

I'm proud to say enclosure files have been integrated in the MySensors Sensebender GW project and git.
So you can find the files here at Mysensors.Enjoy :)

Yes, according to the build instructions here, you can also raise the socket a bit over the pcb.
The problem is that the ethernet connector is higher than a normal IDC socket, which means you can't insert the board fully in the socket. I have searched for a higher variant of the socket, but haven't found a suitable candidate..

Few things about the software side of this. When you plug it into your computer it appears as a "Sensebender GW", with a custom USB VID/PID. You have to override the drivers and use the "Atmel Corp. EDBG CMSIS-DAP" serial port drivers or you will have no serial port at all to communicate with the board.
Second issue, with the latest Arduino software (1.8.1), and the MySensors SAMD board package installed and MySensor library installed you get an error relating to a missing core "arduino:arduino". Solution to that one is to install the main Arduino SAMD board package which adds the necessary libraries. Secondly, after doing that you will now get another error regarding a missing "Sam.h" file, to fix that you have to manually edit the platform.txt file in "\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\MySensors\hardware\samd\1.0.3" with the contents of the one from "\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\samd\1.6.11" - just being careful to copy over the name and version lines from the top of the Mysensors platform.txt file. After that you are good to go and can finally program the board or get some data out of it :-)
-
We are preparing a new release of the board definitions for our samd. Which fixes the issues with arduino samd 1.6.11.
It should also contain a driver .inf file for Windows 7/8, for those that needs it (it's not needed on Linux, mac or Windows 10). I had completely forgotten that windows usually needs this inf file to operate correct (I have been using Linux the last 17 years for all my private projects)
I hope the package will be out tomorrow (sunday) , as I just need to do a couple of tests to verify things.

Do you have any example sketch for this gateway? I want to use in my GW radio + wifi module.
-
It only support wired ethernet, and USB. For wifi we have ESP8266 gateways instead.
There are example sketches available in mysensors (see SensebenderGatewaySerial, or just plain GatewayW5100 would work if it's just ethernet module that you want to use)
