[SOLVED] Sensbender Gateway gives a lot of "hu"

[magpern]

I'm trying to revive my MySensors network, and started by flasking a new GatewaySerial to the Sensbender Gateway. I have the NRF24 long range version connected to it.

When the sketch starts this is what I get and it looks wrong to me. A lot of "hu".
I have cleared eeprom, but still the same. I ave not changed anything, it is stock 2.3.1 and stock GatewaySerial.

Any idea what I should try next?

Hi
I have a problem. I buy Sensbender Gateway and compile it with radio RFM69HW and write.... This is my sketch:

/**
* The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
* between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
* The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
* repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
* network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

*******************************
*
* DESCRIPTION
* The ArduinoGateway prints data received from sensors on the serial link.
* The gateway accepts input on serial which will be sent out on radio network.
*
* This GW code is designed for Sensebender GateWay / (Arduino Zero variant)
*
* Wire connections (OPTIONAL):
* - Inclusion button should be connected to SW2
*
* LEDs on board (default assignments):
* - Orange: USB RX/TX - Blink when receiving / transmitting on USB CDC device
* - Yellow: RX  - Blink fast on radio message received. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation received
* - Green : TX  - Blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
* - Red   : ERR - Fast blink on error during transmission error or receive crc error
* - Blue  : free - (use with LED_BLUE macro)

I connect it to my raspberry pi 4 with Hass.io image 3.3. Then in configuration add it:

mysensors:
gateways:
- device: '/dev/ttyACM0'
persistence_file: '/config/mysensors.json'
baud_rate: 38400
optimistic: false
persistence: true
version: '2.2'

and still in log has info:

Gateway /dev/ttyACM0 not ready after 15.0 secs so continuing with setup
20:56 components/mysensors/gateway.py (WARNING)

In hardware on hassio show this:
/dev/ttyACM0

Please help me what i do wrong...and how resolved this problem.

It is the exact same problem as I had. Do what @tekka said. Either put in the code he suggested, or git clone the development branch. The development branch works fine, the "hu" will go away

And if git clone is to difficult. Download the dev branch github as zip, unzip it and replace the entire "MySensors" folder on your computer. Exactly where it is, I don't know. It's in the library folder where Arduino is installed

@magpern
But mysensors newer than 2.2.0 has problems with radio Rfm69hw.

That I don't know anything about. I don't have any Rfm69w for the moment, but I know I ran a rfm69 directly of a raspberry pi about 5 month ago ant that worked fine. And that was the development branch, so more than 2.2.0
