Node not working with existing Gateway



  • I have a very simple test scenario:

    • 1 Gateway
    • 2 Nodes

    Each of them running on the same HW (NodeMCU) with the same Radio (NRFL24+) and using the same sensor (BME280).

    Gateway is running correctly with the MySensors MQTT Gateway sketch, and it's receiving messages from the 1st Node running the MySensors Passive Node sketch.

    I'm trying to insert a 2nd Node into the system: using same HW and same Sketch as the first but I keep hitting this error:

    16:22:31.136 ->

    16:22:35.443 -> 4402 TSM:UPL
    

    Can't really understand why this second node isn't working, since the HW and the sketch are identical to the first one. (of course NodeID and ChildID are different).

    On Gateway I'm reading this:

    16:42:51.662 -> 37431 TSF:MSG:PINGED,ID=2,HP=1
    16:42:51.724 -> 37496 !TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-2-2,s=255,c=3,t=25,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:1
    

    The sketch I'm using for the Node is this one:

    bme280.init();
    }

    present(TEMP_CHILD_ID, S_TEMP);
    wait(SHORT_WAIT);
    present(HUM_CHILD_ID, S_HUM);
    wait(SHORT_WAIT);
    }
    
    void loop()
    {
    send(temperatureMsg.set(bme280.readTempC(), 2));
    wait(SHORT_WAIT);
    send(humidityMsg.set(bme280.readHumidity(), 2));
    wait(SHORT_WAIT);
    send(pressureMsg.set(bme280.readPressure(), 2));
    wait(LONG_WAIT);
    wait(SLEEP_TIME);
    }
    

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    EDIT: After downgrading from Development to Master branch, I'm having a slightly different error on the Node:

  • @neo-mod
    To me, the log seems to indicate that the radio connection is not working.
    If the HW is identical (with capacitor on the radio power connection) then I can see two causes:

    1. Faulty nRF24. Try switching the radion module
    2. Distance between node 2 and GW too far or something blocking the radio transmission. Try moving node closer to GW.
