Trouble with Sensebender gateway initialisation
-
Hi all,
I have been using MySensors for 3 years now. I built my origional serial GW using a UNO, and utilising soft signing. All worked well for a few months at a time, but I ran into issues, as detailed here.I bought, built and installed a Sensebender gateway, and all was well for a while, However I seemingly killed it when I upped the MY_RFM69_TX_POWER_DBM (13) up to "20", in an effort to solve a troublesome node often not getting messages that were sent to it.
I reverted to my home built UNO gateway, and ordered a new Sensebender Gateway, which has sat on a shelf for several months. I decided to assemble and make use of the "new" sensebender gateway today, fitting a new RFM69HW to the board.
I have wiped it, personalised it, and uploaded the same GW sketch as previously used.It doesn't work! this is the output, which I put through the log parser, which also doesn't work?

for completeness, here is the GW sketch. Arduino IDE is 1.8.13
Suggestions?

Use following for the log parser:
MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RRNGSA--,VER=2.2.0 SGN:PER:OK SGN:INI:BND OK TSF:LRT:OK TSM:INIT TSF:WUR:MS=0 !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL TSM:FAIL:CNT=hu TSM:FAIL:DIS TSF:TDI:TSLThis will output:
I would recheck the radio module connections...

Hi,
Solder sucked off all I could, have re-soldered, cannot remove the RFM69. Output still the same.

Hi All,
And the hits keep coming......
Ok, So I have messed up my Arduino IDE / compiler somehow.
I thought I would roll back the board definition, as the board I have is several months old.
That didn't work, insofar as i now get the following error, upon compiling for the Sensebender GW board******************************************************************************* **Arduino: 1.8.13 (Windows 10), TD: 1.53, Board: "Sensebender Gateway" In file included from D:\NWCloudDrive\Home Automation\Arduino\libraries\MySensors/hal/architecture/SAMD/MyHwSAMD.cpp:20:0, from D:\NWCloudDrive\Home Automation\Arduino\libraries\MySensors/MySensors.h:67, from N:\Home Automation\Arduino\MySensors\testing_node\testing_node.ino:29: D:\NWCloudDrive\Home Automation\Arduino\libraries\MySensors/hal/architecture/SAMD/MyHwSAMD.h:26:10: fatal error: avr/dtostrf.h: No such file or directory #include <avr/dtostrf.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. exit status 1 Error compiling for board Sensebender Gateway.** *********************************************************************************I re installed upto 1.0.6 but the error remains.
I have looked in backups and googled as to where the file should be, to no avail! (i've found where it should be, but it doesn't exist in that location in my backups).Help if you can Please, I realise this may not be the best place for this particular issue, but I thought I should avoid starting a new thread if I can.
SOLUTION to this Compiler issue WAS FOUND HERE
basically Roll back SAMD board definition to 1.8.9
The basic issue of the non functional Radio still remains.
-
The log output is still the same : the transport is not found.
I would verify and measure the connections of the radio module to the ATSAMD21 µProcessor.
See schematic at https://www.mysensors.org/hardware/sensebender-gateway, search MysensorsGW.pdf
If these are all correct, a faulty RFM69?

@evb
Hi,Have checked continuity, all connected, including DIO 5 (not sure what that's used for)
RFM69 is powered, at the pads of the sub board, (3.293V)
If the RFM69HW is faulty< I don't think I can safely remove it, thats what ultimately did for the first Sensebender GW board, I destroyed the pads trying to remove the RFM69.Any Suggestions as to how to attempt. I don't have a hot air type tool for SMD components, Just a soldering Iron. Buying one would cost the same as buying a new Sensebender, without the knowledge that replacing the RFM69 is the actual answer.

Hi All,
So I have re-visited the onboard diag sketch, and ran it, the prog hangs at the eeprom testing, as soon as it makes an attempt to read
eeprom_d1 = hwReadConfig(EEPROM_VERIFICATION_ADDRESS);
I have added some additional Serial outputs to see where it was failing, but it fails at the first hurdle.
This might indicate to me that the board is indeed faulty.Sketch output

Hi,
Well something not right.
I went looking for the functions used for the eeprom,
found it in "MyHWSAMD.cpp"
Modified the code temporarily to see what if anything was happeningCode mod
uint8_t hwReadConfig(int adr) { SerialUSB.print("EEPROM Read Address MyHwsamd.cpp = ");SerialUSB.println(adr); SerialUSB.print("EEPROM Read VALUE MyHwsamd.cpp = ");SerialUSB.print(eep.read(adr)); return eep.read(adr); }which gives this output in the test prog
Mysensors core version : 2.2.0 GateWay sketch version : 0.2 ---------------------------------- - > SHA204 Ok (serial : 012329BE97196D83EE) - > SD CARD SD Card initialized correct! - type detected : SDHC -> EEPROM EEPROM Read Address MyHwsamd.cpp = 1 EEPROM Read VALUE MyHwsamd.cpp =So without further digging, I am stuffed as there seems to not be anything being read back from the eeprom, either that or the code is stuffed (unlikely)
If people think the Sensebender is faulty, Ill see if I can get a replacement under warranty?
Can anyone / is anyone able to duplicate the test prog situation with the eeprom fail ?
-
Do you mean to remove the RFM69HW chip or the complete RFM69HW sub-board?
Removing the sub-board should be possible with a normal soldering iron and a desoldering pump sucker tool.
On internet you will find plenty of information how to desolder components, even on youtube where you can see it...
What for type of soldering iron do you have?If the provided tests are not passing, there is something wrong.
Can you post some photo's of your board and solderings?

@evb
Hi,Sorry for the confusion, I mean the entire RFM69HW sub board.
The difficulty is that by the nature of the edge connections, and the "holes" the solder flows under the "pads" as well as to the sides, and given that there is no "flex" in the board, it isn't possible (at least on my attempts) to stop any pad from re-attaching to the main board. As I say, I had a go with the previous one, and damaged it beyond repair, removing the RFM69HW.
My solder station is a cheap temperature controllable one, with a circa 1mm round tip, solder sucking off the majority of the solder isn't able to freeup a pad. I have removed the solder and re-soldered this chip three times now, to ensure good connections, which is why you will see loads of excess flux, which I haven't bothered to clean off as yet, given the project isn't finished / working. I have tried getting the smallest, circa 0.5mm jewellers screwdriver under the edge of the RFM69 board, whilst heating the nearest corner pad, without success.Photos below, as I say a bit of a mess with the excess flux, the continuity has however been proven to all the MCU pins.
The excess solder is due to the fact I attached wires to each pad, for the continuity checking, being as it is that the MCU chip is on the other side of the PCB.The on sketch testing is definitely failing as mentioned above.
-
Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't help you any further.
If the tests in the sketch do not go any further, there is something wrong with the board itself...
