    Hello!
    I just tried to set up a raspberry gateway according to this https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry .
    (on raspberry1). everything went smooth, but somehow it's not working:

    pi@MysensorPi:~/MySensors $ ./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1
    
    pi@MysensorPi:~/MySensors $ sudo ./bin/mysgw
    Nov 10 22:35:30 INFO  Config file /etc/mysensors.conf does not exist, creating new file.
    Nov 10 22:35:30 INFO  Starting gateway...

    Nov 10 22:35:30 DEBUG TSM:FAIL:DIS
    Nov 10 22:35:30 DEBUG TSF:TDI:TSL
    

    so now on i should ask here =)
    i used one of these radios (recomendation from @gohan in 2017 :)): https://gearbest.com/transmitters-receivers-module/pp_453011.html and connected it accordingly (except i used 5v pin for VCC)
    first of all i don't understand why it's not working when there were just top c&p a few lines?

    an then i'm not really sure in general what i need to do. what i WANT to do:
    sensors > raspberry pi gateway > openhab controller
    mosquitto is running on my openhab installation, so mqtt would be ok. i searched for a while, but i couldn't find anything noob-proved...

      This means the Raspberry Pi is unable to communicate with the radio module. The most common reason is a wiring problem. Could you post a few photos of the wiring (from different angles)? Maybe we can help spot a problem.

      If you have more than one nrf24 module, see if switching helps to check if the radio is broken.

        here's the wiring. i checked 3 times and now i rewired again with another nrf24 module - error remains the same:

          @narf I am not familiar with this board but I thought a nrf24l01+ module was supposed to go into the 2x4 female header? Looks to me the reason there is no communication with the radio, is that there is no radio at all.

            oh boi. had to connect the radio to the board mentioned in the opening post:
            alt text
            and connect the other boards to my raspberry... now it seems to work! unfortunately i can't test it because i'm not able to upload anything to my Sensebender Micro boards. now i'm waiting for my new ftdi programmer :rage:

                is this right? and if so, how can i translate all this stuff? :eye:

                ohhhhhhh. this makes sense:

                [20:17:18] openhabian@openHABianPi:~$ mosquitto_sub -t mysensors-out/#
                22.3
                61
                

                cool cool. now i just have to figure out how to define my items on the openhab part!
                cheers
