Rocketscream Mini Ultra Pro V3 as gateway



  • Is anyone using a Mini Ultra Pro v3 as a gateway? I have a few of them lying around and I want to use one as a gsm gateway

    I tried getting the nRF24 radio up and running before adding other components, but I seem unable to get it working.

    20128 TSM:FAIL:DIS
    20138 TSF:TDI:TSL
    30149 TSM:FAIL:RE-INIT
    30159 TSM:INIT
    30174 !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
    30184 TSM:FAIL:CNT=4
    

    I found a post about the Arduino Zero, which uses the same chip, as wel as the sensebender gateway.

    I tried using the spi pins (22-23-24), defined soft spi pins and tried using the pins used by sensebender gateway (found in the schematic).

    Also used 2 different radios, used both vbus pin, as wel as bat pin with li-ion battery connected. radio has cap soldered to it and is working on pro mini and nano.



  • @robbie-deloose I have rocketscream mini ultra pro v3, but it has got rfm95 module, which I'd like to use as a gateway. I have not tried to connect it yet. I'll let you know, but I think your problem is soft spi or pins definition.



  • thx! I'm thinking along the same lines, as the chip is in use for the sensebender gateways. I give it another try today, but still no luck.

    schematic for mini ultra: https://github.com/rocketscream/MiniUltraPro/raw/master/MINI-ULTRA-PRO.pdf
    schematic for arduino zero: https://www.arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/ArduinoZero-schematic.pdf
    schematic for sensebenderGW: https://www.openhardware.io/dl/5691595329c41a296a5d0fd3/design/MysensorsGW.pdf

    I've tried using pins 19,20,21 and 11,12,13

    I tried using softSPI, but this seems to give errors when used on arm:

     * REVISION HISTORY
     * Version 1.0 - Rait Lotamõis
     *
     * DESCRIPTION
     * The TinyGSM MQTT gateway sends radio network (or locally attached sensors) data to your MQTT broker using a GSM modem or optionally an ESP8266 as a WiFi modem.
     * The node also listens to MY_MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX and sends out those messages to the radio network
     *
     * LED purposes:
     * - To use the feature, uncomment WITH_LEDS_BLINKING in MyConfig.h
     * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
     * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
     * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error

    It does compile for mega2560, but does not for Arduino Zero. There is a problem with

     #include <util/atomic.h>
    

    Please see this -> https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=371122.0



  • @robbie-deloose For whatever season, the compiler does not see the following directory:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\avr\include\util
    

    Very strange. @hek - any ideas please?
    I am talking about this

    ...Arduino\libraries\MySensors/drivers/AVR/DigitalIO/DigitalPin.h
    
    

    There are several references to atomic.h, but the above location cannot be seen.



  • @robbie-deloose OK, success! I did not notice it, but before you define softSPI in SAMD, you have to have a line

    #if !defined(MY_W5100_SPI_EN) && !defined(ARDUINO_ARCH_SAMD)
    

    Otherwise, it does not compile.

    This sketch works fine for Arduino Zero (Native USB port):

  • @alexsh1 , Thx for checking!
    Code does compile, but i'm still getting

    !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
    

    Tried different pins as well, but no luck. Did you managed to get the radio to initialise?



  • @robbie-deloose Most likely you have a wiring or pin number issue.
    I have RFM95 hooked up to Mini Ultra Pro V3 and use the following setting:

    #define MY_RADIO_RFM95
    #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RFM95
    #define MY_RFM95_FREQUENCY RFM95_868MHZ
    #define MY_RFM95_CS_PIN 5
    #define MY_RFM95_ATC_MODE_DISABLED
    #if !defined(MY_W5100_SPI_EN) && !defined(ARDUINO_ARCH_SAMD)
    #define MY_SOFTSPI
    #define MY_SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN 24
    #define MY_SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN 22
    #define MY_SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN 23
    #endif
    

    It works like a charm. And this is from my log:

    0;255;3;0;9;20890 MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RLNGS---,VER=2.3.0
    0;255;3;0;9;20900 TSF:LRT:OK

    0;255;3;0;9;21020 MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1
    


  • @robbie-deloose BTW, it works even with the following minimum settings:

    #define MY_RADIO_RFM95
    #define MY_RFM95_FREQUENCY RFM95_868MHZ
    #define MY_RFM95_CS_PIN 5
    

    given that SCK, MOSI, MISO are wired to standard pins for ATSAMD21



  • @alexsh1 I've put this aside for a few days to clear my head. Changed to another breadboard started froms cratch and reconnected all the wiring. Now it does works! probably a bad connection or a miswiring.

    Thx for the help!
