Serial Gateway/Node ID Problem (Noob)
-
Hi there,
I have followed heaps of tutorials and downloaded libraries and updated everything and still have got no action, so I have decided to ask for help.
My problem is like many others, I have serial version 1.5 installed and have (foolishly?) copy and pasted the arduino code from the codebender windows. So I have an arduino (http://www.freetronics.com.au/collections/arduino/products/eleven#.VdnKgvmqpBc) running my gateway. Wired as per instructions and the code is simple copy and paste. I have that plugged into my raspberry pi running pidome and CAN find it in the peripherals.!
I also have another arduino (http://www.freetronics.com.au/collections/arduino/products/etherten#.VdnLWfmqpBc) running as a relay board. Wired as per instructions and the code is also simply copy and pasted.
My issue is that I cannot get Pidome to discover my relay board so I can add it as a device.

As PIDome seems to detect the serial gateway ok.
So Something is wrong in the communication between your node and gateway. Suggest you attach the node to your computer/Arduino IDE and have a look in the Serial Monitor what is happening.

Firstly, thanks for your reply hek. I have opened serial monitor and it was giving me all random characters. Then all of a sudden it has displayed "radio init fail". Does this mean I have a faulty NRF module?

Mis-wired is more likely.

As @hek says, PiDome recognises the serial gateway, it's version and displays the gateway ready message. Check your node's wiring and powering
