My Slim 2AA Battery Node

m26872

@siod Thanks for your report. Could you please share some more info. Hw/sw versions, nRF-batches, sensors, configs/settings, sketches etc. @Komaandy could only confirm issues with a PIR eqiupped node, but you have a door-switch so I guess it's a potential generic problem then. Let's hope for other reports as to help us narrow down the search.

I have not yet migrated to MySensors 2.x :flushed: , but it's hopefully coming soon. My Slim Nodes from the start of this thread (~ 10 pcs) are still in flawless production.

@m26872 - I made myself a slim node with a light sensor and a uv-sensor last weekend. Its running latest dev branch and has been working flawless atleast 1 week now.

@m26872 First of all: I already got so much help and I am very grateful for that, awesome community!

I don´t think I will ever find the problem with those sensors and because of the lack of time I have (familiy, work...) I think looking for the problem would take longer than just build a new sensor. And that´s what I will do next: I will just build another node, one step after the other and so I can validate if it maybe is a hardware problem or a code problem. BTW my whole sketch is just a few posts above this one...

So I will come back after I started over...

Hi there,

im still into troubleshooting, and what i did last was create a "mock up temperatursensor slim node " with this sketch
, so its really only the node and batteries. But it still freezes :(
Hardware i use is :

-Atmega328p 1Mhz bootloader. // Burnt the bootloader with one Arduino UNO as master and another Arduino UNO on which I replaced the Atmega328p as slave // Arduino as ISP // with the latest Arduino IDE (1.8.2)

after burning the bootloader on the bare ATMEGA´s i assemble them on the node and transfer the sketch via FTDI232

Furthermore i use
-generic Capacitors and restistors ( specs from your BOM)

Kuman nRF24L01 batches ( bought like 30 in a bulk once, but other "nonslimnodes" are working)
-fresh batteries

Any help is very aprreciated :) :)

can you try to add the watchdog timers and see what happens? Try using a different bootloader? Different power source or using a small booster or an additional AA battery and a LDO. I am just throwing ideas and see what you can do with the stuff you may have at home.

Komaandy

@gohan said in My Slim 2AA Battery Node:

LDO

@gohan
Hi, i added a WDT now into the MotionSensorSketch.
Well at least i guess i did. I just read about it , never used it before. Does the 1Mhz Optiboot boatloaders support this ?

Unfortunalty I didnt recieve my 3,3V boosters yet and i dont have LDO´s around.
Concerning the bootloaders. Do you have a suggestion which one to use ? As I read that sticking to 1Mhz is important when using only 2AA batteries because of instability when voltage goes belowe certian values.
Obviously i could use more batteries, but then i cant supply the nRF2401 from the board right ?

Actually you would have to put wdt_enable(WDTO_8S); right after Loop() and wdt_disable(); before calling the sleep (this is what I copied from another sketch). The wdt_reset you cold use in the middle of the loop in case you have a function that could take long time to execute and it may trigger the WD timer so you can reset the timer (you can play with the length of the timer according to your needs)

@gohan
maybe like this ?

void loop()


{
	wdt_enable(WDTO_8S);
	// Read digital motion value
	bool tripped = digitalRead(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR) == HIGH;

	Serial.println(tripped);
	send(msg.set(tripped?"1":"0"));  // Send tripped value to gw
wdt_disable();
	// Sleep until interrupt comes in on motion sensor. Send update every two minute.
	sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR), CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);
 

}```

gohan

that's what I found. You could also use wdt_enable(WDTO_2S) I think. I haven't done any test yet on this.

@Komaandy Try to remove all your Serial.print.

Has anyone used NRF24L01+ + PA + LNA on these modules ?
Any reason why it shouldnt work out of the box ( does AA batteries give enough power to drive them on LOW settings? )
What type of battery monitoring is recommended on these ones? The resistance or the library way?

I just got 90 PCBs, beautiful, fast shipping ( i think under 2 weeks to Norway ) and looks well made.
I'll drop one in each beehive I have ( 7 ) and see how long they last

So, it seems i made some progress.
After changing to the @GertSanders bootloader ( https://www.openhardware.io/view/33/Various-bootloader-files-based-on-Optiboot-62) all the PIR nodes seem to be stable.
I´m using these settings

Wish me luck :)

@Komaandy Yes, using 8MHz instead of 1MHz is perhaps a good idea. Stable enough at room temperature, well proven and will e.g. solve a "Serial.print()" interrupt loop issue. Just remember that you'll lose ~25uA if you'll leave BOD enabled.

@m26872 said in My Slim 2AA Battery Node:

No, on ATMega328 MySensors disables BOD before going to sleep.
So extra consumption from BOD will only exist when node is active and in that case it's negligible.

@Nca78 Ok. Thanks. Since ever, or only from 2.x ?

Nca78

@m26872 no idea I started MySensors with 2.x :P

Komaandy

Update : Day 3 and still all PIR nodes are working ;)
I´m using the given sketch here.

Komaandy

Still up and running stable.
8Mhz Bootloader did the trick for me :)

m26872

@Komaandy Nice! Thumbs up for 8MHz (and your "dark-style Fhem" - same as I use) :+1:

Komaandy

@m26872
thanks again for this great idea and that you developed these fine boards !
And by the way...
As you are using fhem as well...
How do you manage to reset the tripped "1" in Fhem ?
I just added a delay and a gw.send"0" to your sketch :), but using fhem would be more sophisticated actually ...
Thanks
