@pillarama I don't know about FOTA, but I see no reason why it would not work. I guess it depends what you do with it! I like being able to burn bootloader from within arduino ide and not having to swap to avrdudess et al - now I can boot load and program in the same window. I was amazed at how easy it is to install and use. No need for fuse calculators, just choose clock speed, internal or external and brownout and click burn. I do hope to try FOTA in April (real life allowing) and so will comment more then.... Only snag is it dosn;t work with the ardudriod on android, I have contacted the dev of that app and sent the error message but as yet no solution. Maybe it will be possible in the future to do all this from phone and needing PC..... It is very close.

@NeverDie I can give my thoughts here, and we can move it later to another thread if necessary. The bigger selling points, at least for me: Every project is a self contained directory, even the boards configuration, bootloaders, libraries, code and build procedure I have a project template for mysensors (mainly a platform.ini) that I copy for each node that I create. I can manage everything with my known tools (vim, make, git, etc) I like to play with arduino and electronics, but have other interests (Family, friends and 3 small kids...) so I usually have little time to spent in my hobbies. Platformio allows me to just have all the configuration in code and know 6 months ahead that I can do a "make clean && make upload" for a particular node without issues, even if I lost my PC, as everything is in my gitlab account. Also the FW of my 3dprinter must be complied and uploaded with platformio (marlin 2.0) so I can have only one tool for both hobbies.

Great work @mcchots, thanks for reporting back

Seems I'm running out of ideas. If you are sure to have flashed succcessfully the new BL and won't get any sync afterwards to upload any sketch built using that board def, most likely you shoud open an issue in github wrt that. (I myself went the other way round and modified the MYSENSORS modules in FHEM to make use of a second Gateway for flash purposes only - this GW with the standard channel (etc.) settings... Testing is ongoing, but seems to work)

@itbeyond I ran into issues with multiple connections to my Ethernet gateway. My current config is to route my Vera through MYSController. If I do that I'm able to upload new firmware without any issues. Also, check the distance/reception of the sensor. I had one with poor reception that either didn't upload or took 20 minutes. When I changed the radio antenna config it worked in about a minute.

Hi I would like to test too. On atmega 328p au 8mhz internal board.
