💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway

[alowhum]

Does the Pi Gateway support the MY_SIGNING_SIMPLE_PASSWD option? I couldn't find anything about that. I've been gearing up to use that feature in my network, but I've also been playing with moving my gateway onto my Pi Zero W.

@alowhum If you want to just encrypt data, just add the encryption key in the myconfig.h file and compile it

@gohan N00b question, but which steps from the step-by-step need to be redone to "compile it" after altering myconfig.h? Or can you just post the command lines? :flushed:

[gohan]

As soon as you do the changes in myconfig.h before the MAKE, you are fine

[sentur]

Anyone tried using the new Pi Zero WH as a Raspberry Pi Gateway. Presumably by MQTT and using NRF24 radio?

@alowhum Have you been able to setup a gateway with your Raspberry Pi Zero?

[MasMat]

@sentur That's what I'm doing now. Except mine is Zero W. Soldered the pins on myself.

@alowhum yes, to use MY_SIGNING_SIMPLE_PASSWD feature, add the following to your list of configure options:

... --my-signing=password --my-signing-password=<PASSWORD>

Is there anyway where i can see if i have IRQ configured ?
ive build it a long time ago, but now upgraded to a nrf24 PA/LNA and have more an more sensors.

[gohan]

look inside makefile.inc in mysensors folder, that should contain the parameters you set in ./configure

[Richard van der Plas]

@gohanm, as it seems not ?, can i rebuild it easily? ```

SOC=BCM2837
CPPFLAGS=-march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53 -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard -DMY_RADIO_NRF24 -DMY_GATEWAY_LINUX -DMY_DEBUG -DLINUX_SPI_BCM -DLINUX_ARCH_RASPBERRYPI -DMY_PORT=5003
LDFLAGS=-pthread
PREFIX=/usr/local
CC=gcc
CXX=g++
BUILDDIR=build
BINDIR=bin
GATEWAY_DIR=/usr/local/bin
INIT_SYSTEM=systemd
SPI_DRIVER=BCM```

[gohan]

make a copy of it and make a ./configure with the IRQ enabled and see what you get

[Richard van der Plas]

@gohan make a copy of the makefile.inc and restart the ./configure command again you mean ?
ill try it tomorrow, too afraid to break things late in the evening ;)

[gohan]

as far as you don't execute the MAKE command you are ok. Also make a copy of the mysgw executable just as backup if you never did it

[Richard van der Plas]

but ill have to do it sometime , just ./configure with all the options, build , test and install ?

[gohan]

if you only want to check if irq is enabled, otherwise you could just build it fresh with irq enabled and you can go back by replacing the mysgw executable

@MasMat Yes I was able to build it on a Pi Zero. I did a fresh install on Dietpi. It worked fine when I didn't give any configuration options.

Now, however, I am still trying to run something on the PGIO pins in paralel to MySensors again, and this is not working. As I speak the Pi reboots every 5 minutes.. Not sure what to blame yet. Domoticz, PiGPIO, or MySensors.

Latest DietPi Stretch, latest Domoticz beta, latest MySensors beta.
