How do I get multiple different mock barometers?
-
Here is a little sketch that compiles on the NRF5.
// Enable debug prints to serial monitor //#define MY_DEBUG // Enable and select radio type attached #define MY_RADIO_NRF5_ESB /** @def MY_NRF5_ESB_PA_LEVEL @brief Default nRF5 PA level. Override in sketch if needed. - NRF5_PA_MIN = -40dBm - NRF5_PA_LOW = -16dBm - NRF5_PA_HIGH = 0dBm - NRF5_PA_MAX = 4dBm */ #define MY_NRF5_ESB_PA_LEVEL (NRF5_PA_MAX) #define MY_NRF5_ESB_CHANNEL (76) #define MY_NRF5_ESB_MODE (NRF5_250KBPS) #define MY_NODE_ID 10 #define VOLTAGE 0 #include <MySensors.h> float vcc = (hwCPUVoltage() / 1000.0); MyMessage VoltageMsg(VOLTAGE, V_VOLTAGE); void presentation() { sendSketchInfo("General sensor", "1.0"); present(VOLTAGE, S_MULTIMETER); } void setup() { // Serial.begin(115200); // while (!Serial) ; // wait for Arduino Serial Monitor } void loop() { send(VoltageMsg.set(vcc, 3)); // Serial.print(F("Voltage = ")); // Serial.print(vcc, 3); // Serial.println(F("v")); sleep(60000); }@rmtucker said in How do I get multiple different mock barometers?:
#define MY_NRF5_ESB_PA_LEVEL (NRF5_PA_MAX)
#define MY_NRF5_ESB_CHANNEL (76)
#define MY_NRF5_ESB_MODE (NRF5_250KBPS)
Just now noticing that your definitions:
#define MY_NRF5_ESB_PA_LEVEL (NRF5_PA_MAX) #define MY_NRF5_ESB_CHANNEL (76) #define MY_NRF5_ESB_MODE (NRF5_250KBPS)can also be set in myconfig.h.
Strangely, myconfig.h defaults to max Tx power on the nrf52, but not max Tx power on the nrf24. Not sure why, especially since, if anything, the nRF24 needs it more.
So, I just now changed myconfig.h to put everything at max Tx power and 2mbps ota datarate. A lot of the nrf24 fake chips don't even run at 250kbps.

Do mean the fake chips need to run at higher datarate?
All the fakes I've encountered can handle 1mbps and 2mbps.
-
Not sure why, but by upgrading to 2mbps datarate from the previous default of just 250kbps, I'm able to reduce LONG_WAIT to 0 without incurring packet losses. Go figure.
-
For the SHORT_WAIT, 10ms seems adequate on an nRF52832. Not sure where it hangs if the SHORT_WAIT is reduced too much lower than that though.
-
@NeverDie my question was if thay handle higher speeds better than the lowest since you said "A lot of the nrf24 fake chips don't even run at 250kbps"

I'm not understanding your question.

What does it mean when the Domoticz log looks like this?

-
For some reason, downgrading from 2mbps back down to 250kbps solved the above problem.
-
Fortunately, 1mbps seems to work, even if 2mbps doesn't.
