Sensebender Micro
-
yust plug in socket on sensbender micro
-
is it possible that si some problem with my arduino IDE maybe some library tomorrow i will try to reinstall arduino
-
@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
-
reinstal arduino, libary, clear eprom nothing gonna lose my mind i think i'm gonna throw everything in trash :rage:

@mitja-blazinsek how do you power your board? USB from pc? That might not work. Try a USB power supply instead. Or a different pc. Or a completely different power source, like batteries.
-
i just try this and its same
is it possible that is anythig with gw i'm using official sensebender gw -
i try new serial gw on nano but same problem i delete all nodes and when i turn on some sensors my controller find it only one node without name. My only working sensor (one of the woking sensebender out the box) display 2 nodes one without name and node with sensebender micro name what for is that first node ID 0
screen shot how it display every sensor:
-
now even sensbender micro that it work on sensbender gw don't work on my gw it work only if i connect sensbender gw
-
look like everything that i programmed not working about half years ago when i start with my sensors everything that i try work bu when i have time to play with mysensors again nothing worked make me crazy i have full box of sensors and boards but nothing cant get to work only sensbender gw and sensbender micro that i didn't touch i think that must be something with arduino ide
-
ok my gw now work sorry i forget to connect radio vcc :relaxed: but everything else not working every sensor i try triple check wiring bothing :rage:

SOLVED!!!!! it make me crazy but finally i found on forum
@dallienl said in 💬 Building an Ethernet Gateway:Had lots of issues getting this to work. The issue seems to be with the ethernet part, as I only have an ethernet board attached I removed the lines for the radio and the pin redirection. Still the code kept restarting all the time or just not being able to connect the controller.
AVR version of the Arduino 1.8.0 kit needs to be downgraded. I had 1.6.16 and downgraded to 1.6.11.
Open Arduino. Tools > Board: xxxxx > Boards manager... > Click "Arduino AVR Boards" > Select Version > 1.6.11
Recompile and you are good.
so i had to downgraded AVR version of the Arduino 1.8.0 kit and thats it :) i knew its smothing in arduino IDE

I deployed 5 sensebender nodes just after release in 2015, all with 2 AA batteries from ikea.1 died within a couple of years, because it was placed outdoors. But the rest kept going, and all have been going until this year. So 8 years of battery time on one set of batteries..
I think that is excellent battery life.. ;)
