[SOLVED] MySensors Raspberry Pi Gateway + Domotics Controller
-
@mfalkvidd so how do I change the title to reflect "SOLVED"?
-
I have good news. I used a small prototype board for everything. made sure no line was more than 6 inches long. I soldered (My soldering sucks!) the capacitator right next to the radio and Bahm! Domoticz picked up all powered devices. :grinning:
Lessons learnt, keep length of your wires short, nRf24 MUST have a decent capacitator to smoothen out power. Don't rely on GPIO pins to power it, use a regulator. Though help may come from all and sundry, its all up to you to check their suggestions... Thanks all for helping me.
I can finally retire my Nano-Serial Gateway! Wont be upgrading for a long time to come :sneezing_face:
@Eme Thanks for letting us know how you solved the problem - helps us all to learn. I've recently upgraded my Raspberry Pi 1b to 4 and just got it working as an ethernet gateway with standard NRF24 radio. I'm curious about a few things as I've been trying to also use a PA LNA radio but without success;
-
Any reason you have set up your gateway as serial and not ethernet?
-
What did you mean by "Don't rely on GPIO pins to power it, use a regulator". By regulator did you mean the capacitor, did you use another regulator component - I can't see from your image
-
Did you change the power setting of you configuration file MyConfig.h -lowering the power to "RF24_PA_LOW'?
