RFM69 problems
-
Thank, will try asap. Just a question, in your gateway did you only add "MyTransportRFM69 transport;" or did you also add the stuff from your sketch example like: #define MY_RADIO_RFM69 ?
@Cliff-Karlsson I just posted to Git my Serial gateway and a node. The code is still in flux, but it might help your endeavors. Find it here: https://github.com/TheCranston/MY-Sensors.git Caveat emptor... :) (first time posting anything via Github, so please excuse any conventions that I might have ignored - I'm learning)
@hek, good point. I just checked my Version.h and it says "1.5" which i thought was the latest master... humm... gotta check it over closely now.
-
I will do a couple of adjustments of the RF69 stuff tonight here on dev-branch.
Add a mis-wired check like we do for the RF24 driver. I also currently you have to do a
#define MY_IS_RFM69HW true
to activate the HW-version... this will be changed to
#define MY_IS_RFM69HW -
Ok, one more stupid question. If I want to try the developer branch do I just install the regular 1.5 zip amd then just overwrite them with the files from the developer branch on git?
-
Ok, I think I have figured it out. But I am trying this sketch:

Ok, I turned on the verbose output and this is what I got:

You must have done something wrong setting it up (I'm also running 1.6.6).
You should get the following error using the sketch you posted above:
Users/hek/Documents/ArduinoGithub/libraries/MySensors/MySensor.h:195:3: error: #error No forward link or gateway feature activated. This means nowhere to send messages! Pretty pointless. #error No forward link or gateway feature activated. This means nowhere to send messages! Pretty pointless. ^ -
Ok, after trying again I extracted Arduino-development to a separate folder in my sketchbook location witout replacing anything. I then got an error saying it could not find Mysensors.h so I copied it to the Gatewayserial folder and now it complies but gives me the error you specified hek. So how do I solve this? is not the gatewayserial sketch ready to complie as is?
-
Ok so I should use the serialgateway sketch from the arduino master? I did not find any other serialgateway sketch in arduino development than the one I posten.

No, you're using the right one.

You must replace the WHOLE MySensors library folder. Not just copying the MySensors.h.
-
Ok, tried again and I think I got it right this time as I got three tabs in the arduino IDE when opening the serialgateway-sketch, before I only got one tab.
But now I have the same error as you shown hek, what does this mean:
#if !defined(MY_GATEWAY_FEATURE) && !defined(MY_RADIO_FEATURE) #error No forward link or gateway feature activated. This means nowhere to send messages! Pretty pointless. #endifI already have this in the gateway sketch:
#define MY_RADIO_RFM69#define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL -
Ahh, finally. I used the sketchbook location for everything like it says in the info for 1.5. When I copied all the development libraries into the Arduino libraries folder it worked.
-
I tried changing computers and it seems to work better now, But I just realized something where or how do I set the frequency of the rfm radio?
-
Put one of these in your sketch
#define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_433MHZ #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_868MHZ #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_915MHZI should probably try to find some time starting to document the 1.6 features. But most of them is already easy to find by reading MyConfig.h.
-
@hek said:
#define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_868MHZ
ok, if I dont specify this in my sketch will it default to either frequency?
-
Ok, all my radios is 868Mhz so the problem is something else. I always get similar errors from the serial monitor after complying sensor-sketches.

It says radio init successful, but can it still be radio problems?
-
Well I changed the CHILD_ID_LIGHT to 7 in the lightlux sensor sketch, I don't know if that was right. But nothing shows up in domoticz.
I get this from serial monitor:
