    Hello,
    I'm still quite a beginner and I hope you can help me.

    I wanted to connect a DHT22, an OLED display to a Nano and transfer the whole thing to a gateway with RS485 wire.
    The display doesn't show anything as soon as I include the mysesnsors.h library.
    I just made a sample sketch for it.
    MySensors version is currently 2.3.1
    I've tried everything, but I can't do it.

    // Enable debug prints
    #define MY_DEBUG
    
    // Enable RS485 transport layer
    #define MY_RS485
    
    // Define this to enables DE-pin management on defined pin
    #define MY_RS485_DE_PIN 2
    
    // Set RS485 baud rate to use
    #define MY_RS485_BAUD_RATE 9600
    
    // Enable this if RS485 is connected to a hardware serial port
    //#define MY_RS485_HWSERIAL Serial1
    
    #define MY_NODE_ID 4
    #include <SPI.h>
    #include <MySensors.h> 
    #include <Wire.h>
      
    #include <SSD1306_text.h>
    
    #define OLED_RST 4
    SSD1306_text oled(OLED_RST);
    
    
    
    
    void setup()
    {
    
      oled.init();
      oled.clear();                 // clear screen
    
      oled.setTextSize(1, 1);
      oled.setCursor(0);
      oled.print("OK");
    }
    
    
    void loop()      
    {  
    
      
    }

      @NONO87 What does the debug monitor tell you?

          Hello @NONO87, looks like your node isn't able to establish a connection with the gateway, so it's stuck in the transport initialization sequence and never enters the loop() or even setup() where the OLED is initialized. Here's the boot sequence diagram for reference.

          You may try to add #define MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS 1 (or anything > 0) to timeout transport initialization early and see if the OLED is still working.

          If it does, you next goal would be to find out why this node doesn't connect to the gateway. The node is either unable to receive messages from the gateway or the messages it sends don't reach the gateway.

          Is the serial module correctly wired? Configuration is fine on both devices? Is the gateway working and does it receive find parent request from this node?

          You may want to use the Log Parser to make the serial output "human readable".

            Thank you so much!

            After using #define MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS 1, I was able to see something on the display. Then I started looking for why the transmission wasn't working.
            The problem was that the rs485 5V connection had a shaky connection.
