    Hello all!

    I'm trying to build a gateway with a Raspberry pi2, ethernet and Domoticz.
    It looks like the gateway is beeing built ok and seems to run fine but nodes can not communicate with it.
    I have read most of the postings here but I can not find any solution.
    Hope you guys can help? Please!

    I run raspbian (Jessie)
    pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors/bin $ uname -a
    Linux raspberrypi 4.9.35-v7+ #1014 SMP Fri Jun 30 14:47:43 BST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux
    

    Using master branch

    https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry
    git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch master
    

    Configuring like this

    pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ ./configure --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=22 --my-rf24-cs-pin=24
    [SECTION] Detecting target machine.
      [OK] machine detected: SoC=unknown, Type=unknown, CPU=armv7l.
    [SECTION] Checking GPIO Sysfs.
      [OK] /sys/class/gpio/export found
    [SECTION] Detecting SPI driver.
      [OK] SPI driver detected:SPIDEV.
    [SECTION] Detecting init system.
      [OK] init system detected: systemd.
    [SECTION] Saving configuration.
    [SECTION] Cleaning previous builds.
    [OK] Finished.
    

    Obs! No Raspberry identification, why not? Maybe that is the culprit?
    After make I start the gateway and get this:

    pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ cd bin
    pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors/bin $ sudo ./mysgw -d
    mysgw: Starting gateway...
    mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.1

    mysgw: Client 0: 0;0;3;0;2;Get Version
    mysgw: Client 0: 0;0;3;0;18;PING
    

    Seems nice and dandy and Domoticz connecting fine.
    Trying with this example node:

    #define MY_RADIO_NRF24
    #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_LOW
    #define MY_DEBUG
    #define MY_NODE_ID 42
    //#define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RF24
    #define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600
    
    #include <MySensors.h>
    #include<Arduino.h>
    
    #define OPEN 1
    #define CLOSE 0
    #define CHILD_ID 1
    
    MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID, V_TRIPPED);
    
    uint8_t value = OPEN;
    
    void setup()
    {
      Serial.print("setup()\n");
    }
    
    void presentation()
    {
      sendSketchInfo("Door", "2.1.1");
      present(CHILD_ID, S_DOOR);
      Serial.print("presentation()\n");
    }
    
    void loop()
    {
      value = value == OPEN ? CLOSE : OPEN;
      send(msg.set(value));
      Serial.print("message sent");
      Serial.print(value + "\n");
      sleep(1000);
    }
    

    And recieve this when running:

    --- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0 9600,8,N,1 ---
    --- Quit: Ctrl+C | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H ---

    8740 TSM:FAIL:CNT=1
    8761 TSM:FAIL:PDT
    

    And no output in gateway either.
    Both radio modules using capacitors.

    What have I missed?

    Thanks, Andreas!

    @aglock I put a note on the raspberry gateway page to use latest development in case of problems with stable. Did you try?

      @gohan yes. Interesting though when I used git to switch between branches it said all files where the same?
      Do you think the fault is in the gateway somehow?

        @gohan Tried it again
        configure now recognizes the rpi:

        pi@raspberrypi:~/mys_dev $ ./configure --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=22 --my-rf24-cs-pin=24

        But make fails with the following error:

              Got mysensors gateway working on gpio of my Pi again using ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-irq-pin=15 --my-leds-err-pin=12 --my-leds-rx-pin=16 --my-leds-tx-pin=18 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003

              However on tx or tx always the two leds connected to pin 16 and 18 are lit. More people with the same problem?

                @Woeka There is (on Arduino Gateway) a function named "DEFINE INVERSE BLINK". Try to search for same for PI....

                  Can we use the "debug ota log" features with the raspberryPi gateway ??

                  My node is not accessible and runs MYSBootloader.
                  My gateway is raspberryPI.

                  Now, I need to update the firmware on my node. Via MYSController, no problems, upload runs like a charm.

                  But how to do for debugging my sketch ? Some bugs appear...... , I need to take a look on some vars values.
                  Usually, I use the serial port with serial.print(some vars).
                  Which alternative I have to use without serial port, only OTA features ?

                  Thanks for the great work !!

                    Unless you are using an esp8266, I don't think you can remote debug a pro mini. @sundberg84 is working on a serial logger to microsd card, maybe it could help you in some way

                      In fact, I do not need to log, but need to look what's happen in my sketch.
                      The new "OTALog" function, MY_OTA_LOG_SENDER_FEATURE or MY_DEBUG_OTA seems to be the good way.
                      From the docs, it allows to send a debug message to another node or gateway via OTA.

                      But how to got the debug message from OTA node, on the gateway side (RaspberryPi) ?

                          Well, you found the starting point !

                          MY_OTA_LOG_SENDER_FEATURE & MY_DEBUG_OTA are enabled on my OTA node.

                          Again the same question: What I have to do on the gateway side ?
                          Is it possible with the raspberry Gateway ?

                          I'm still looking for debugging my sketch in remote. I need to have a look on the debug messages. I reminder, the node is not accessible and runs MYSbootloader.

                            If I understood well, you need to set a target node ID that will receive the debug and then make a node with that ID in order to get the debug messages

                              Exactly, but I would like to use the gateway (raspberry) as target.
                              Is that possible ?
                              If yes, how to display the debug message on the gateway.
                              I have an access to my gateway only via SSH.

                                I have no idea if can do it, but you could just have a node connected to USB port of the rpi and do a "cat" on the USB port and you can read the debug from the node

                                  Is it possible to build a gateway that is MQTT, but also listens on port 5003? I want to send my data up to AWS IoT, but I also need port 5003 for Vera integration.

                                    You can use node-red to bridge the ethernet gateway and the aws service. Are you sure vera plug in doesn't support mqtt?

                                      @gohan, there are two MQTT plugins for the Vera with varying capabilities. But, the mysensors plugin for Vera doesn't appear to support MQTT at all. I could probably get one of those MQTT plugins working, but I'm not sure how stable they are. I hate installing unstable plugins and having them crash LUUP. I need to maintain a positive WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor), and broken HA doesn't help with that. :)

                                        I guess node-red is the best option for you

                                          Hi
                                          I start build MySensors Gateway on my Rpi3. I use radio RFM69HW and connected it as show on page to GPIO.
                                          https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry
                                          I build it by command:
                                          ./configure --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=868 --my-is-rfm69hw --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyUSB1

                                          Then make. But in Domoticz when i run and add to hardware i have error:
