Can't control actuator
-
OK thanks for this precision!
How i ca control it?
Can i send 42;3;1;2;0 or 42;3;1;2;1 via arduino IDE serial monitor?
It doesn't work for me... -
No,
You have to send commands over the air to you actuator.
Build and use the serial gateway for issuing commands like that.

OK for the serial Gateway.
My radios communicate really. I test it with a ds18b20 and i have my temperature (thanks for yesterday!!!)
I've just activate the debug and it says :

42;1;0;3;1.3b3 (18848a2)I don't see anything when i send this : 42;3;1;2;0
I think my numbers are good
I don't understand why it doesn't work :-( -
I've tested with an another computer near the first (1 meter)
the only things i see in this serial monitor (the relay or led node) i have this :Started sensor.
Relay=0, distance=1

I have inverted the two nrf24l01 and it is the same
Any idea? -
Looks like your communication is working (in one direction at least).
What is your setting in serial console (Newline?) when you send commands?
Is the gateway really sending anything? After entering your command in the serial console you should see a Tx: ....... -

I use arduino ide for serial communication.
I write 42;3;1;2;0 in the serial send line and clic on Send.
Nothiing appears.
For debugging, i had Serial.println(inputString); at the end of serialEvent funtion for testing what i was sending
and i have this appearing :
0;0;4;11;Arduino startup complete.

I have found where is the error!
In the SerialGateway sketch, if we use the serial monitor with arduino IDE (with my PC), there isn't a "\n" char who is send.
i have to change this in the sketch with z.
now it function!!so the new serialEvent function is :
void serialEvent() {
while (Serial.available()) {
// get the new byte:
char inChar = (char)Serial.read();
// if the incoming character is a newline, set a flag
// so the main loop can do something about it:
if (inputPos<MAX_RECEIVE_LENGTH-1 && !commandComplete) {
if (inChar == 'z') {
inputString[inputPos] = 0;
commandComplete = true;
} else {
// add it to the inputString:
inputString[inputPos] = inChar;
inputPos++;
}} else { // Incoming message too long. Throw away inputPos = 0; }}
}and to activate my led (or relay), i use this line : 42;3;1;2;0z in the serial monitor on arduino
Is it my PC, the Arduino serial monitor or the script which isn't atapted with this tools?
i don't know...Et voila for the solution (for my problem in fact)
thanks for all! -
That is why I asked the following:
What is your setting in serial console (Newline?) when you send commands?
