NRF24L01+ problems in 2.1.1 and 2.2.0 Beta

@miljume I've seen the same length errors in the past when my radio wiring wasn't stable (flaky jumper wires). The TSP Fail messages indicate the same.
Could you check your connections from the pi to the radio? -
@Yveaux Thanks for the feedback but I am using a RPI Shield so the connections should be stable
@miljume I am having the same issue since 2.1 and trying to revert to 2.2 beta it fails as well. I am using an RPi model 2 B and the same RPI shield (I have traded out the shield as I have a few and same result). All of my nodes have been offline for months as the gateway does not function.

@gohan Now I have tried compiling it with one line command but the GW still don't start with 2.1.1

@miljume I see alternating !TSM:INIT:TSP Fail and TSM:INIT:TSP OK in your logs.
The fails indicate a failure to communicate with the radio module.
Is there a pattern in these fails between software versions?@Yveaux The FAIL´s all occur with 2.1.1 and the OK is with 2.2.0 Beta. Same radio connections for both so the FAIL´s should not be connected to communication with the radio module. I have also tried 3 radios and 2 different ways of connecting them (Shield and Dupont cables) Even if 2.2.0 starts OK the problem is that it for the Ethernet GW it fails to connect

Did you check if spi is enabled in configuration? Sorry for stupid questions, but I need to broaden the search for the issue
@gohan, I can only speak for me but I have done the following on my RPi 2 B:
Changed out radios
Used shield for radio or just straight wiring to radio
New flash of latest minimal Raspbian
Enabled SPIAnd various combinations of those. Maybe something broke in an update to Raspbian or some other change to the mysensors repo?

With 2.1.1 I have the exact same problems.
However, everything seems to be fine with 2.2.0 Beta:
git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch development cd MySensors ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003 --my-rf24-pa-level=RF24_PA_MAX makeIn domoticz:
The result:

However, it still does not work.
I am on rpi3 and use a socket adapter board for the radio.

So, I did a lot of re-configuring and using 2.2.0 beta when a node sends a value payload (in my case a temp/humidity/battery value I get this while running my RPi ethernet gateway in debug:
mysgw: TSF:MSG:READ,3-3-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0: mysgw: TSF:MSG:BC mysgw: TSF:MSG:FPAR REQ,ID=3 mysgw: TSF:CKU:OK,FCTRL mysgw: TSF:MSG:GWL OK mysgw: !TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-3-3,s=255,c=3,t=8,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:0 mysgw: TSF:MSG:READ,3-3-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0: mysgw: TSF:MSG:BC mysgw: TSF:MSG:FPAR REQ,ID=3 mysgw: TSF:CKU:OK,FCTRL mysgw: TSF:MSG:GWL OKThis continues until I kill the process. In the middle of all of these error messages though, it also reports client PING events:
mysgw: Client 0: 0;0;3;0;18;PINGOther interesting items of note:
Domoticz says the values for temp have not been updated for 3+ hours for that node.
Domoticz says that node only has a temp sensor.
MYSController reports it having 2 sensors (temp and humidity) and it reports the values when i would expect them to be sent (ie, not 3+ hours old but updated continuously when temp changes).I am at my wits end here.

This is getting odder and odder.
I am running 2.2.1 beta on my RPi2B. It is running on channel 76, with power max, and using ethernet gateway config.
I have MYSController running on separate laptop and it is seeing updates to temp/hum and/or battery level. However, neither Domoticz or OpenHab2 have seen a change since last night at 9pm.In Domoticz - Setup - Hardware - Mysensors 2.2.0 Gateway it shows 2 nodes. First node is the gateway, of course, and the second is the sensor node. The data and the last seen times are correct! But, the Domoticz - Setup - Device list only shows the Temp sesnor and a last seen date of last night at 9pm. There are not other mysensors devices available.
So, what is different between MYSControler and Domoticz and OpenHab? -
NACK on the gateway usually means that the radio module is not powered correctly or there is a range issue (or you didn't set max tx power on the gateway)
