Sure, there is already the KiCAD file including everything to play around with on your own; added a picture of the schematic here for a quick glance without downloading.
Hi, not sure if @Floca get his nodes working, but for me, the problem got fixed with this
#define MY_RF69_IRQ_NUM MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN
as mentioned by @mfalkvidd Thanks!
Thank you both for your answers.
With so many parameters to play with, it was not easy to understand what was wrong.. But I think I finally got a way do get my hardware working
Here are my findings :
I thought I got RFM73 version of NRF24-like radios. They look like like here and here.
After checking and connecting all VCC and GND together, switch radios and arduinos... I got them suddenly working with Mysensors development librairies, then back to silence without apparent reason...
Indeed like @mark_venn suggested, I went back to stable librairies and try so set a static ID. Worked well... until it went back to silence again !
Then, following @mfalkvidd advice, I realised that flashing the eeprom_clear sketch solved my all my problems !
My summary :
Ensure that your 3.3V power supply is strong enough.
Ensure that your arduino, radios and sensors are sharing the same GND and VCC.
Use development librairies from github
Flash eeprom_clear before flashing your mysensor sketches
Then gatewaySerial and relayActuator should be able to communicate "out of box", mean you'll monitor some lines like this on the gateway serial : 0;255;3;0;9;read: 0-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=15,pt=0,l=2,sg=0:
Thanks again for your help, now I can start to play
I see a lot of "!TSF" and "NACK" which seems to be radio communication problems.
That's MySensors related and can be related to many things, from soldering problem to power / capacitor issues.
In MY_DEBUG mode you should see your temp/hum printed on serial every ~15s so there is something wrong there, either wiring or a code issue.
Ty with the example included with the library "i2c_SI7021.h", without any MySensors related stuff, to see if your sensor is detected. You should see temp/hum on the serial.
High sensitivity: down to -148 dBm.
From the datasheet. There probably needs to be some margin, but my experience with Sigfox shows that -130 is quite reliable. After that, packets start go missing. I would guess LoRa is similar.
Hey guys aside from these power-consumption issues, I am now running the Feather as gateway and node.
And I get a strange problem.
The gateway is attached to a raspberry pi via usb (by-id), which runs fhem. And everything works great for about an hour to 1 1/2. Then somehow the gateway stops receiving/communicating. I already tried an active USB-Hub incase the power consumption was too high for too long. But that didn't help. I have to reset the gateway and node to make it work again.
Did anybody else ever experience similar behaviour?
