serial gateway: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL

[kiesel]

Hi,

I am trying to use a rfm69hw chip with my raspberry pi 4. For that I wired the chip to an arduino pro mini and flashed the serial gateway sketch. The sketch initializes fine when I check the arduino IDE serial monitor.

When I then hook the pro mini up to the pi (using USB) I can see that a tty device is being created (ttyUSB0).

I can also read from the device using python:

pi@raspberrypi:~/monitorgpio $ python3 testscript.py

When I then start the mysensors gateway I get this output though:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensorsDev/MySensors $ sudo ./bin/mysgw

What am I doing wrong?

I configured the gw like this:

./configure  --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=868 --my-is-rfm69hw --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-baudrate=38400 --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-groupname=tty --my-serial-port=/dev/ttyUSB0

Side note: After starting the gateway I can see that /dev/ttyUSB0 disappears and only reappears if I unplug and replug the arduino.

Any help is greatly appreciated since this was my backup plan to get a gateway on the pi working (directly connecting my rfm69hw chip to the pi doesn't work/yields low range).

@kiesel mysgw and the pro mini are completely redundant. If you plan to use the pro mini, do not use mysgw. If you plan to use mysgw, do not use the pro mini. The only case the two might be used together is if you want two gateways (which then must use different radio channels)

mysgw can be used only if the radio is wired directly to the raspberry pi's gpio pins.

Oh, I completely misunderstood then! I thought mysgw would interpret the serial input and then make it accessible to the controller.

Thanks för clearing that up, I will give it a shot tomorrow.
