Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

vikasjee

@tekka , there seems to be an issue with the build 3314 and MYSBootloader for MySensors 2.1.1,as noted above. Any good, working previous version should do...

vikasjee

@tekka please help with the MysController build 3312 if that one works with MYSBootloader for MySensors 2.1.1 master.

tekka

@vikasjee Apologies for the late reply. This issue is not related to MYSController:
The debug log hints to some issues with the radio (range, connection) and/or power supply (node does not receive the find_parent_response message), please double-check the wiring, power supply (appropriate caps on both, GW and node), change the distance between GW and node, or try with different radio modules.

vikasjee

@tekka No Issues. Thanks for the response.

I have tried all of these with all my 35 radios (were all working before the upgrade) and equal number of nodes! :(

I will go through all this sequence once again though... Thanks for clearing the doubts on MYSController build. Indebted!

Newbie can't make it happen...

I've been struggling for the last couple of days, trying to make the mysensors world to fly. But unfortunately i have no success so i will try to post one of my many trials, would be very glad if you could let me know what i'm missing...

Hardware:

Aurduino Mini Pro
W5100 ETH interface
long-distance NRF24L01 (Gateway)
NRF24L01+ 2.4GHz Antenna Wireless Transceiver Module (Sensor)

Software:

All i did was to load both sketch to the according mini.
Of course changing the IP of the gateway.

I can ping the gateway using Windows terminal, but i can't access the gateway using the MYSController. As soon i try to dicover any node the connection is terminated by the remot side (entry in the debug window of MYSCtrl)

If i did understand it correct i do not have to load the Bootloader as of now (as long i do not need OTA)

Any help would be highly appriciated,
matt

Welcome to the MySensors community @swiss :-)
What does the debug output from the gateway say?
How is the gateway powered?

If you haven't already, take a look at https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help/ for the most common problems and how to fix them.

@mfalkvidd
wow that was quick :-)
The gateway is powered thru a breadboard 3.3V psu.
Here is teh log dump of the gateway:

Thank you so much!

mfalkvidd

@swiss could you post the entire log?

EDIT: How much current can the breadboard psu provide? Which capacitor(s) are you using?

mfalkvidd

and yes, you are correct that bootloader is only needed for FOTA.

@mfalkvidd
the psu provides 350 mA

mfalkvidd

ok. So from the log parser we see that the gateway sends a response to the id request, but the node keeps requesting a new id anyway.

Could you post the log from the node?

mfalkvidd

@swiss which capacitor(s) do you use? The nrf radio is extremely sensitive to power fluctuations.

If understand it correct it got feedback from parent and is now requesting its id ? correct?
Is it correct that the ID should come from the Controller, in my case the Myscontroller ?
unfortunately i cant connect the controller to the Gateway, is there anything else i can check beside the IP and the port ?

thank you so much for your assistance would really love to make it happen...

@swiss yes, that's correct.

What does the gateway log say when you connect the controller?
