    Hi,

    Any reason why this lib is not using Serial1 or Serial2 on Arduino Mega 2560 instead of AltSoftSerial?

      No, not really. Just that not many that uses 2560.

        How about adding the following define to use the Serial1/2 on Mega. I have not tested yet but assuming the AltSoftSerial lib has the same interface/functionality it should work.

        #define MY_RS485_SERIAL Serial1
        
        diff --git a/core/MyTransportRS485.cpp b/core/MyTransportRS485.cpp

          Looks like a neat solution. If it verifies ok, please create a pull request agains the development branch.

            I understand that the RS485 is a separate gateway to communicate. Is it also possible to have the wireless gateway and RS485 gateway combined?

                @hek Thanks for the quick response. I'm looking for some direction (this might not be the right forum).
                I want to create a node to control my Itho Ecofan ventilation box. I now have a working program (thanks to the help of Rogier Reedijk The nodo now uses a CC1101 transceiver to control the box and thus uses the SPI bus. I'm looking for some direction to use this transmitter as part of my sensor network so I can control it from my Domoticz. Hope you can give me some directions how to proceed.

                  Why do you need to hook it up to RS485 wired network? Can't you just forwards commands to the CC11001 from any radio node or the gateway?

                    Is it then possible to use the two radio's on one node and share the SPI bus?

                      Yes, if the CC11001 behaves correctly.

                          Hello,
                          I have a problem running gatewayserial to rs-485 and the node with the usual lightsensor.
                          NODE # 1 as a gateway and tried to upload a sketch of the library 2.0 and 1.5.4, and the monitor serial I can not see any data, I use to check on the serial PuTTy com6 because the converter rs-485 to USB is connected to the PC.

                          NODE # 2 as a light sensor, during the upload Sketch by arduino programmer for serial monitor can see the data being sent but after plugging arduino to rs-485 as below no longer visible.

                          My question is whether I have something wrong with the connection or sketch, can someone show an example of a complete sketch for the gateway, and a node?

                          Connection mine looks like this:
                          TX and RX Connect was to pins 0 and 1 in arduino or 8 and 9, DE is always PIN 2.

                            Looks like you got the pins to the Arduino wrong.

                            Pin 9 >>> DI
                            Pin 8 >>> RO
                            Pin 2 >>> DE and RE

                              I need a nice picture done in fritzing (or similar) for an article on the main site on how to connect the RS485 module (atmega 328 enough I guess).

                              Anyone volunteering in making one?

                                so this is a 1 to 1 setup right? There is nothing here for multiple serial nodes correct?

                                  Aren't they just daisy chained?

                                    On the pictures is connect to TX and RX pins arduino but I tried to connect to pins 8,9,2 and result was the same :(
                                    On thsi connections with pins 8,9,2 ofcourse and library mysensors 2.0 should works fine ?

                                      Yes, people have reported the RS485 transport working above.

                                      I just created this article with a summary of this thread
                                      https://www.mysensors.org/build/rs485

                                        @elektro12345

                                        So what's with the DE+RE pins on that USB-RS485 converter? Will it even work in this configuration? I do have such converter but so far I've used the arduino as a SerialGateway to connect to RPi.

                                          I am not sure if I am seeing a normal behavior. I don't know if it is expected that the sensor is taking such long time to become visible to the GW. I have recreated the examples from https://www.mysensors.org/build/rs485

                                          The only difference is that I've added SketchInfo for the GW and used Serial1 on MEGA board instead of AltSoftSerial.

                                          The debug on the motion sensor is as follows:

                                          MCO:BGN:INIT NODE,CP=RSNNA--,VER=2.0.1-beta

                                          As you see it takes a fair amount of time (around 30-40 secs) to obtain the readings from the sensor. This happens each time I reset the sensor node but it works instantly if I reset the GW (i.e. the readings appear instantly after the reset). Is it expected behavior?
