💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway

@niehoff80 and/or @Oliviakrk can you run
sudo raspi-config(install it using sudo apt-get install raspi-config if it isn't already installed)
Select8 Advanced Optionsand
A6 SPIand
Yesto all questions. Reboot the raspberry pi and try running make again. If that works I'll add it to the documentation.
-
I was able to compile it after doing what you're suggesting. It's still have error message during communication with the gateway but that is probably a noobs-error in my config. so I have to investigate a bit more.

Hi
I enabled SPI. For Rasberry PI B it was under 5. Interfacing options. The build completed successfully. Thanks!
But there is a problem...When I run mysqgw -d I get:
mysgw: Starting gateway...
mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.1
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.1.1
mysgw: TSM:INIT
mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0
mysgw: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:CNT=1
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:PDTI also tried development release. Works perfectly. Looks like there is problem with stable.
-
Have the same problem with the stable branch as @Oliviakrk using the NRF24 transport on an Raspberry PI B, it might be a driver issue, is see that the make for the development branche builds the BCM drivers while the master branche does not.

Hi I followed the instructions, but I can't get it to work, I have a Raspberry Pi 1 Rev1 with NRF24 connected following the instructions.
First I configured it just using ./configure --spi-driver=SPIDEV --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --soc=BCM2835 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=22 --my-rf24-cs-pin=24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003
I also tried with almost every combination but I always get the same errors.
The idea is for it to be used as a standalone GW running from RPI with RF directly attached to it (SPI is enabled and I don't get any errors when compiling)
I can send the logs if needed, any help will be welcome, thanks!

Tried it and got the same output, I also tried with a different NRF24 just in case and doublechecked the connections. are the options I am using ok?
./configure --spi-driver=SPIDEV --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --soc=BCM2835 --my-debug=enable --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=22 --my-rf24-cs-pin=24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003 -
@gohan, Thank you! I got it to work. First I tried with the development branch and it didn't work either, then I used the following instructions https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1151/tutorial-raspberry-pi-nrf24l01-direct-connection
And when that didn't work either I rechecked the wiring which ended up being the reason for it to fail previously, "faulty wires".
I got it to work with the master branch.pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ sudo ./bin/mysgw -d

Hi.
I have a Raspberry Pi already configured as gateway, but I don't know how to interact with. I means, how can I read incoming data from? I tried open /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway as a common serial port but I got a message error:
cu: open (/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway): Permission denied
cu: /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway: Line in use
With 'ps ax' command I can see only '/usr/local/sbin/PiGatewaySerial -d' running as a deamon.
Could someone explain me what's ne next step for? -

It looks like you are using the Raspberry Pi gateway for MySensors 1.5. If you are just starting out, I suggest you use the gateway for the current version instead. Documentation: https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry
That version of the gateway has a debug mode where you can see the messages in the console.
The next step would be to select a controller. Information about this is available at https://www.mysensors.org/about/network

I'd compile it as ethernet gateway, follow the guide on how to configure the parameters, then you can use MySController (search the forum, there is a topic with download link) and use that to connect to it
@gohan Thank you to answer! Good tip, I will do that!

@mfalkvidd Yes, I'm using 1.5. Thank you for suggest me the newer version. I will update it today!

Hello, all!
I read a lot of comments to find a solution to my problem, but seems it's something that I couldn't understand yet.The old version was working in my Raspberry Pi using Raspbian Wheeze, so, to install the new version i updated my system until the latest version (Raspbian Stetch). I could compile MySensors, but I'm getting the common error when testing with mysgw -d:
"MYSGW: MCD:BGN INIT GW, CP=RNNG---,VER-2.1.1" and so on.I used this parameters in configure:
./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet
--my-port=5003 --my-controlle-ip-address=192.168.1.2
--my-gateway=mqtt --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out
--my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in
--my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1I couldn't find a solution yet. Can someone help me?
