@TheoL Thanks for responding and sorry for my late reply.
I finally got an Arduino Nano working as a gateway with RFM69.
It required new/different logic converters as the ones I had apparently were not working correctly.
I can give the RFM69 3.3V power from the Nano, but as the Nano has 5V logic and the RFM69 cannot handle 5V logic as input (NSS, SCK, MOSI) , the logic converters are needed to protect the RFM69 module as also stated in the MySensors radio guide.
I must say that using NRF24 was much easier than using RFM69, but I will stick with RFM69 (433 MHz) for range reasons.
slight bump to this topic rather than starting a new one since I have some more questions
Are there any example sketches for setting variables on a node? Thinking I'd want at least 2 variables.
Is there a proper way for a node to report time to the controller or other nodes? This one will be powered 100% of the time so responding to messages shouldn't be a problem.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one but best way to set up a sketch to report the temp every X when it isn't the main function of the node.
Thanks in advance.
@sentur since it was launched 6 days ago, I seriously doubt anyone has had the ability to try it.
Anyway, please don't post the same question in multiple places. It wastes people's time. Most users don't have as much time as they would like to spend on projects, and wasting their time by splitting the discussion to multiple threads isn't very nice.
In case anyone wants to follow the existing discussion, head over to https://forum.mysensors.org/post/84076
