1.4 Beta

[Damme]

@lodewyk I use this:
void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &msg) {
// We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
if (msg.type==V_LIGHT) {
if (strlen(msg.getString())==0) {
gw.send(message.setSensor(msg.sensor).setType(V_LIGHT).set(digitalRead(msg.sensor-1+RELAY_1)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF));
} else {
digitalWrite(msg.sensor-1+RELAY_1, msg.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
gw.saveState(msg.sensor, msg.getBool());
}
}
}

(How do i use [code] ?? I start to hate this forum :P)

@lodewyk

The relay example does not support requesting state. You must add some code in incomingMessage() to handle incoming request-messages (and reply to them).

To reply incoming request-command in incomingMessage for the RelayActuator-example do something like this (note I have not compiled/tested this)

if (mGetCommand(msg) == C_REQ) {
     mSetCommand(msg, C_SET);
     msg.setDestination(msg.getSender());
     msg.set(gw.loadState(msg.getSensor());
     gw.send(msg); 
} else (
    // Do the normal stuff here
}

@DAMME and @HEK

Thanks , very helpful.

I got so occupied with the commands and never thought about the sensor code.

Thanks

This forum uses markdown. If you need help, press the little questionmark-icon in the compose window. http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

To decorate your codeblock use 4 spaces or one tab character first on each line.

@lodewyk hey man, you've got -2 posts.... How's that possible?

Pushed a few new changes/bugfixes. Sorry for the slow progress. Had to wait until we got home and had the chance to do some verification.

• Ack bit in header indicating if message is an ack (see RelayWithButton for an example how to read it out).
• Sleep functions now takes unsigned long. This allows sensor to sleep for than 30 sec ;)
• Corrected string termination

A major code drop coming from @ToSa has now been merged into 1.4. It contains:

• The new MySensors Bootloader supporting Over-the-air sketch updates ("client"-side).
• A simple NodeJs Controller to test the OTA stuff ("server"-side).
• Changes to cope with new sketch meta data stored in EEPROM and conversion between serial protocol/binary data and some new STREAM command types added.
• A new internal command has also been added to allow resetting a node remotely.

A more detailed change log can be found here:
https://github.com/ToSa27/Arduino/commits/development

I haven't had time to test myself yet but everything has been verified by @ToSa and is reported working. He is on a business trip right now so advanced bootloader questions have to wait until he's back.

@hek Sounds like a good step forward!
Only one boot loader question: does this mean we can use an external boot loader or do we have to use an external boot loader now?

[hek]

@marceltrapman

The OTA stuff is optional. But if you want to be able to hot deploy sketches over the air, you have to install the MySensors bootloader.

[Damme]

@hek There are still some problem with string termination,

repeater started, id 3
send: 3-3-0-0 s=255,c=0,t=18,pt=0,l=15,st=fail:1.4b1 (18848a2)
send: 3-3-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=1,l=1,st=fail:0
send: 3-3-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=11,pt=0,l=9,st=fail:Relaytest848a2)
send: 3-3-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=12,pt=0,l=3,st=fail:1.0aytest848a2)
read: 5-5-0 s=11,c=1,t=1,pt=0,l=4:58.4
send: 5-3-0-0 s=11,c=1,t=1,pt=0,l=4,st=fail:58.4
send: 3-3-0-0 s=10,c=1,t=0,pt=0,l=5,st=fail:26.20

@Damme My bad wrong working directory! sorry

Thank you :)

And thanks again!!!

How do I request information from a node from the gateway?

I have a relayactuator node with 2 relays that is transmitting its initial state at the startup of the node. This is also received by the gw.
But after that I cant seem to request the current relay status from the node by sending a message from the gateway.

I tried lots of combinations, nothing worked.

I thought this would be correct:
1;2;2;1;2;0\n
1=node number
2=sensor (relay number 2)
2=request
1=ack message
2=light
0=string??

Can anyone point me in the correct location?
maybe a new API page for 1.4 would be handy

edit: also I can't find anywhere what the debug letters mean
what is s=,c=,t=,pt=,l=,st= ??

[hek]

@timminater

You cannot request state from a node without programming a little . I answered exactly this question a couple of posts back in this thread.

@mitekg

All the zeroes indicates that something is wrong in radio communication. Check wires.

    Is any instructions, how to use this?
    thx.
