I forgot you had rfm69, so capacitor is not that important. Try to look at my rfm69 signal scanner and look for the code to print on debug the rssi of signal and output power and try to move around to see if you get any value change. I had problems with rpi3 gw using the alpha version, but on stable it works. You could also try to compile it as an ethernet gateway just to see if you get any changes. Can you also post the configure parameters you user?

Hello!
Which parameters?
compiling parameters of the GW?
I've configured it with:

./configure --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=868 --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.1.50 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mygateway1-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mygateway1-in --my-mqtt-client-id=raspberryRFM69

About the rfm69 signal scanner, should it run on the node or on the RPi?
(where to find it?)

Thanks @gohan :-)

Ok, then I need to upload it on the node (which is on a little wooden bird house) and go around with my laptop connected on it :-) Not a problem.
But would that report issues on the GW RPi as well? How?

Meanwhile I can try to compile the ethernet version to give it a try.

Thanks, Simon

Hello @gohan
Installed ethernet version:

./configure --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003

And it's even worst:

# ./mysgw -d

Using the mqtt version at least the init gets completed.
Ideas?

Just a quick idea: are you powering the RFM69 from the Rpi?
I use a Rpi Zero W and when I powered my radio NRF24 from that it doesnt get enough juice even with caps.
I now use a bigger USB-wall wart and use AMS1117-3.3 to power the radio (PA-version) and added caps.

My two cents

Hello,

I've tried to get 3.3V from external source, but same situation:

Possible the problem is only sending and not receiving?
I've not tested the signal scanner right now.
I was hoping it's a power issue :'(

Hello @gohan ,

I was able to compile correctly the network IP mode. I had compiled it with the wrong transport.
BTW, now it initialized correctly, BUT same problems.
I've replaced the radio as well (only on the gateway).
Here the logs:

mysgw: Starting gateway...
mysgw: Protocol version - 2.2.0

mysgw: TSF:CKU:OK,FCTRL
mysgw: TSF:MSG:GWL OK

As you can see the SEND message fails.
I'll try now to move the node closer and then try the scanner.

Hope it helps :-(

You have to check both gw and node at same time in order to understand if message is delivered but ack fails or else.

Of course. I'll provide details this evening ;-)
