Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

[daulagari]

Did do some more experimenting using a sort of Ethernet gateway (actual the relayed Serial gateway data) and see that MYSController.exe can connect but once it prints the first data it gives the "File not open." error and no further data is printed.

So it does not look like a serial port issue but something else.

Did not know Lazarus but it looks pretty good!

ok, I could reproduce the error which seems to appear in connection with scrambled data from the gateway (during the gateway startup). If you press the dis- and connect-button a few times once the error appears, all pending messages will be processed and the controller should resume.

New version available with bug fixes 0.1.2.256:

• "File not open" error fixed
• Display errors fixed
• Mac users: use wine to run program, no remapping of serial ports necessary - use e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0 in config window

Great, I'll add a link from the main site to your project.

@tekka : Thanks, things work now fine! :+1:

Any source code?

[AWI]

@tekka Hi, Chrome is blocking the download of the Windows GUI/Controller zip archive for being "harmfull". any clue?

[tekka]

@AWI My guess is because of the upx-packed executable (MYSController.exe) in the archive being recognized as false positive.

Yes, I will provide the source code in the nearest future.

Hello team, thanks for the great job. This tool is very useful.
however, I don't understand how the tool can snif. I guess, that I have to connect an arduino in serial ( I use the tool in a VM)... but with which sketch ? a gateway sketch...I think I missed something, but if somebody can elaborate a little bit. thanks

[ch3b7]

You need upload the serialgateway sketch to the arduino connected with the nrf24 the n connect the usb to pc and select the correct com port in the program

" It works in connection with the modified optiboot/OTA bootloader mentioned in a previous post. "

can someone link to that post? I couldn't find it
Thanks

[ch3b7]

You add ethernet support? Im add ethernet support in my program in .net its work good.

@mvader this is the MYSBootloader from the library.

okay thanks!

@tekka cool software! btw the sorting of the child sensors in the tree could be optimized.
Right now the nodes are sorted like string instead of numbers:

0 - ...
1 - ...
10 -
11 -
...
2 -
21-
...

Chrome blocks the download since it is "malicious".

@samppa read my previous post::

I didn't face a warning with IE or Firefox, but indeed, Chrome reports it.

@Heinz thanks. I will add the number sorting in the next build.

Greetings Tekka,

I am teaching myself programming while learning about the NRF24L01+ and various controllers and sensors. I have tried to download several free software controllers but yours is the only one that was straightforward enough for me to be successful. I have used it to monitor communication to and from my gateway but I am at a loss as to how to use your creation as a controller. It is the most wonderful tool for visualizing and debugging node-to-gateway communications because of the exceptional work you have done translating the command codes into real command words.

Is there a way to input data through your GUI or is it best used as an output device? If input is accepted, would you be so kind as to elaborate on the subject enough to get me moving?

Respectfully - Baran
