Getting started with Wemos d1 mini & RFM69HW

Les

@mfalkvidd I figured it had something to do with the network ID, but from what I understand there is no way to specify it on the PI. However in my case I don't need an ID I was just under the impression it was required. So I've removed it. And 1/2 success.

The Pi when starting mysgw still produces the same startup and sends 1 msg out.

On the wemos serial output I see it gets 1 msg from the pi but doesn't progress.

Is there some extra steps required to pair them or get the two to communicate?

Les

also worth noting I am manually running sudo bin/mysgw not as a service. As the instructions sound like it can be tested this way to make sure it is working.

mfalkvidd

@les yes that's the best way to start the gw when testing/troubleshooting

mfalkvidd

@les network id can be specified on the pi, see my previous post for instructions. But not specifying it at all is a better solution for most use cases.

mfalkvidd

I think the best next step is to follow @evb's recommendation to add #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RFM69 to the sketch (and preferably to the gateway as well)

Les

I'm going to take a stab in the dark that the issue is with the pi node since the wemos received and sent and I don't see any message on the pi for anything being received.

With the debuging enabled on the client I get:

Not sure if it needs to be set elsewhere.

Always produces this initialization, 1 sent message and just sits there.

Also I should mention I saw in the posts it says that some version of raspbian don't play with MySensors, so I've used main branch 2.3.1 and development 2.3.2 beta on Pi. Same results.

@Les, I'm still learning also :-)

In your first post you mentioned the wemos - rfm69hw hardware connections:
GND GND
3.3V VCC
D1 DIO0
D5 SCK
D6 MISO
D7 MOSI
D8 NSS

In previous posts, you mentioned in your sketch:
#define MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN D1
#define MY_RFM69_IRQ_NUM MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN
#define MY_RFM69_CS_PIN D8

But in the latest debug output, I see:

12946 RFM69:INIT:PIN,CS=15,IQP=5,IQN=5

Your CS/NSS pin is now on D15 and the IRQ pin on D5?
@mfalkvidd: or must I interpret these numbers different?
(I don't want to hijack this thread, but I've the same problem with my SAMD21 M0 board, see my thread in the same section ;-) )

mfalkvidd

@evb D1, D8, etc are just macros or variables. They (normally) resolve to numbers. What numbers they resolve to (and which macros are available) is set by the board files in the Arduino IDE.

I am not familiar with the M0 boards, but here is an example of what the macros look like: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-samd/blob/master/variants/arduino_mzero/variant.h

Here is a big table with numbers and pins for Arduino M0.

Here are the macros for D1 Mini: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/variants/d1_mini/pins_arduino.h
Excerpt from that file:

static const uint8_t D8   = 15;

The macros are replaced with their real values when compiling. So the debug output can only show the number, it can not show what macro was used. That's why the debug output shows 15 instead of D8.

Les

Yes D8 = pin 15 :)

So any ideas on why the raspberry pi isn't sending parent information or "listening/responding" to the wemos?

As a side sanity check I will try a different raspberry pi. Can someone confirm the pins on Pi2/3?
