Sensebender Micro

[Mitja Blazinsek]

can anyone help me every sensor it work fine first time in mycontroler but but when i reprogram it with same code it doesn't register anymore in my controller like i remember i have this same problem about year ago with binary switch bu i can't remember what was solution for problem that why sensebender micro doesn't work i just try hum. sensor with nano working fine after reprogram with same code my controller doesn't recognize anymore :( do i have clear anything in my controller i already try to delete node and sensor but no affect

Do you see correct communication on node and gw logs?

That's clearly a communication problem, look at the gateway what do you see

why mycontroller don't register node and sensor if he receive message

[gohan]

@mitja-blazinsek I think there must be something else in the gateway log, please add more entries

That is a transmission error, so either the node is not receiving well or the gateway doesn't have a good power source for radio

[Mitja Blazinsek]

couldn't be radio second sensebender micro working fin bu that micro is out of the box didn't touch em fist one that i was programming with officially code don't work anymore also nano that i programm default Door/Window/Button and relay sketch on it bouth doesent work since i was start programing i realy dont know anymore try ewerything but mycontroler dont show nothing anymore no senors no nodes except original sensebender micro

[gohan]

If you get NACK in the debug it means it failed the communication, so of course it will not show any data on controller.

[Mitja Blazinsek]

but why fail i upload officially sketches from my sensors also try same radio from sensebender that works also try blink test on sensebender and it works so what else could be i have everything latest version my controler mysensor libary...

[gohan]

Could be noisy power supply, not adequate decoupling capacitor on the radio, radio interference from other devices nearby (wifi or else)

[Mitja Blazinsek]

i try at least three different radios with and without capacitors gw an sensors are close (20cm) and like i said sensbender worked fine till i try to upload program on it

[gohan]

Did you try a completely different radio module from another manufacturer?

[Anticimex]

@mitja-blazinsek how do you supply power to the radio module?

[Mitja Blazinsek]

yust plug in socket on sensbender micro

[Mitja Blazinsek]

is it possible that si some problem with my arduino IDE maybe some library tomorrow i will try to reinstall arduino

[dklinkman]

@MITJA BLAZINSEK - So I built my first Sensebender Micro this weekend and it works great. Radio works at distance (>10Meters). Advertises temp and hum at proper intervals. Plus battery level occasionally. And I can update the firmware via Arduino IDE (v1.8.1) and USB. Everyone's path and experience is different so here's what I did.

The build was simple. I just added the socket for the radio. Oh and a piece of right angle pin header for the FTDI interface.

For powering I currently use a FTDI Basic 3v3 from Sparkfun. Provides power plus USB serial for programming and debugging. I have a few 2xAAA cell holders on order for powering from battery.

Once built I also plugged in a radio. I have tried the generic NRF24 low and high power versions with no problems either way. The high power is the PA LNA type with the external antenna. The low power is what is in the picture down below.

Setting up the Arduino IDE was a bit of a chore but the instructions at > link < are very good.

At the end make sure you use the Boards Manager to install the MySensors AVR Boards (add MySensors to the search) so you can choose the "Sensebender Micro" as your 'board'. This last step isn't explicitly mentioned on the link. If that board isn't selected your results will be disappointing. I know from experience.

For the MySensors library be sure to install the latest release which is 2.2.0. I had to use the drop down list for the MySensors library in the Library Manager to install that version. But I l already had a lower version installed, plus a development release installed manually, and this was right around the official 2.2.0 release date, so who knows.

I run Windows 7 Professional SP1 and the Arduino IDE version 1.8.1. Updating the firmware via USB works fine. I have not tried OTA updates yet though I plan to. That should be interesting.

Your mileage may vary. I hope this helps anyone dipping their toe for the first time.

i did all this i try even downgrade my sensor library and its same the interest thing that even other boards not working (arduino nano) a had some assembled and programmed nano that i play with about 6month ago and it work fine, then try to upload relay code on it and nothing everything (didn't touch wiring) i try to program it doesn't work even if it was working before, so i think it must be something with my arduino ide
