Can't send message over arduino serial monitor



  • Ok so I have got a few questions and a problem to solve
    I have two arduino unos hooked up with the nrf24l01+ one is running the (arduino button relay) and the other is running the (serial gateway) examples. Once I plug the sensors in I Ioad arduino running the gateway into the serial moniter and it gives me the normal "0;0;3;0;14;Gateway start up complete." then I turn on the (relay button arduino) and it gives me a confirming
    "105;255;0;0;18;1.4.1
    0;0;3;0;9;read: 105-105-0 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=1,l=1:0
    105;255;3;0;6;0
    0;0;3;0;9;read: 105-105-0 s=255,c=3,t=11,pt=0,l=14:Relay & Button
    105;255;3;0;11;Relay & Button
    0;0;3;0;9;read: 105-105-0 s=255,c=3,t=12,pt=0,l=3:1.0
    105;255;3;0;12;1.0
    0;0;3;0;9;read: 105-105-0 s=1,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=5:1.4.1
    105;1;0;0;3;1.4.1"

    So, I have good connection and the node is all set up. So then I try and give the node a command to turn on or off, so I type into the serial monitor
    105;1;1;1;2;1\n
    or 105;1;1;1;2;0\n
    or 105;1;0;1;2;1\n
    or 105;1;1;0;2;0\n
    or 105;0;1;1;2;1\n
    or 105;0;1;1;2;0\n
    just about every variation that you could imagine and nothing.
    The biggest question I have is, Am i supposed to type anything in before 105;1;1;1;2;1\n ?
    Is there a method that I am supposed to call up? I am writing directly into the serial monitor form the arduino ide, and am running the 1.4 library of Mysensors. Is there supposed to be anything else with the message"105;1;1;1;2;1\n" to help this message to compute to the relay?
    thanks?

  • the funny thing is I know the everything is hooked up right because everything works through a controller? Has anyone else tried to get this to work just through the serial monitor?

    What is you newline/cr setting in serial monitor?

    Are you actually typing \n ?

    \n == enter/carriage return



  • The setting has been "No line Ending" And I tried typing it in both ways with the \n and without (105;1;1;1;2;1\n and 105;1;1;1;2;1). What setting should I be in in the serial monitor and what should I type into the serial monitor?
    Thank you so much for responding, I am really interested in all this and it looks like you guys have done such a great job! Thanks!

    The serial monitor setting should be set to "with line ending".

    You should not typ "\n"!
    It means that you should press enter on your keyboard.

    Hello,

    2015-01-28 10:36:55 9 255 0 0 18 1.4.1

    I can send this:

    echo "9;3;1;0;2;1\n" >> /dev/ttyUSB0
    

    On the device serial line I see:

    read: 0-0-9 s=3,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=3:1\n
    Incoming change for sensor:3, New status: 1

    You should not typ "\n"!
    It means that you should press enter on your keyboard.

    On Linux I saw that I have to send "\r\n" instead of "\n".
    "\r\n" (Carriage return, Line feed) is the Windows return, "\n" only the Linux return.
