RS485 FOTW! (Firmware over the wire)

Re: OTA Programming over wire ? (RS-485)

I can confirm this can be done. I had all sorts of trouble with compiling bootloaders and ended up using the precompiled sensebender micro bootloader (which uses pin 8 for CS (SS) activation of SPI memory). The way around this for now was moving the rs485 to the hardware serial port and disabling all debug output. I went with a 3.3 Arduino Pro Mini and level shifter for the MAX485 module (thats all i have here). I've done 3 firmware updates over the wire using MYSController and so far am impressed with the results. I would like to compile a new DualOptiboot and move the SS pin but can't seem to make this happen.

Very messy breadboard, but just for an idea.

Thanks for your fast reply. That sounds easy. And you think that the communication between sensor nodes and Gateway are still possible via wired RS485? I tried to find an example on this site for sending Information from Gateway to sensor nodes. (via SendMessage ?) For example I like to Switch on/off an light that is connected to an relay board at my sensor node. Communcation Flow: OpenHab2 --> MQTT --> Gateway --> RS485 --> Sensor Node --> Relay Board Currently I have an working RS485 Connection between my Arduino Uno's with the use from SoftwareSerial library. During my testings I realized, that the message that I triy to send "Hello" will be sent to the other arduino char by char. Is that true? Because I tried to raise up an pin on HIGH with "if(msg == "Hello")..." But it doesn't worked. Will the sendMsg method from the MySensor library handle this out of the box? Regards, Simon

I found this old thread and since I have a Vallox machine it's interesting. RS485 is new to me but MySensors isn't. Can I have a node like this described by Heinz parallel with the "mickey mouse"-display? Using the display's connector? Or is it one or the other? I'd feel better having both (manual display&buttons and connection to MySensors=>Domoticz, in my case).

@openhardware-io Hi: (Please direct to Feanor-Anglin if possible) I previously ordered some 4RelayDIN PCBs off openhardware.io and got v1.6 PCBs but the info on the site I found is only for an earlier version of the PCB board. I am trying to build some of the boards but there are additional compomemts on the newer PCB board. The main one which looks to be a driver IC. Would you please share the updated information with me or perhaps update the openhardware.io site. Many thanks, Rod

This is great, thanks! One suggestion: add a switch mode regulator that can handle 12 or 24 volt DC input. This will allow small sensor devices to hang off a typical bus network having extra pairs for the central power supply.
