    Hi, Nice job what yoh've done here.
    Awkardly, I am not able to compile the sketch. I have download the last version available form github, but when I try to compile it, the IDE hungs about 60% and nothingelse happens. The compiler log looks like this:

    Does anyone know what could be happening with this?
    I would appreciate any help you can provide.

    Thanks, regards.

    @gonzalonal I reproduced compiling the latest version on Github with Arduino IDE 1.6.5.
    It compiles without problems on my IDE, on Windows.
    Some things you can try:

    • Reinstall the Arduino IDE and/or make sure you're using 1.6.5
    • Extract the NRF24 Sniffer source code to its own sketchbook location. Don't put any other stuff in there (e.g. no MySensors libraries). Point the Arduino IDE to this location (File -> Preferences -> Sketchbook location, save and restart the IDE)

    Good luck!

      Thanks Yveaux. Pointing the sketch path in the right direction made the trick.
      Once again, thanks.

        Is there anyone who has the Wireshark dissectors for the latest 1.5 api?
        Mine is complaining about "The Procedure entry point tvb_length could not be located in the DLL library libwireshark.dll"

          @hoegaarden_bier use the Wireshark version as defined on my blog. Possibly the portable version of Wireshark.
          Wireshark keeps changing their dissector api so sure to lack of time I stopped updating them.

            Hi there,

            The (my:blush: ) sniffer tool has trouble interpretating float values, received from temperature/humidity sensors.
            The data payload indicates that the sniffer receives 5 bytes instead of the expected 4 bytes of the float32 variable, the extra byte is always a 0x01. The preceeding 4 bytes are the expected bytes of the float.
            After swapping the hardware, both cpu and nrf24 , still the same result....
            Integers and booleans are received OK, and my serial gateway receives the correct float values.

              @freeck iirr float decoding was not implemented yet in the Wireshark dissector.

                Hi, thanks for the quick response....
                But I do not understand: I get float values on my screen but the wrong interpretation.
                Perhaps a better question: is there an indication when this will be solved, as I appreciate the sniffer tool very much!?

                  Maybe I should rephrase: it was implemented, but doesn't work right ;-)
                  See: https://github.com/Yveaux/NRF24_Sniffer/issues/2

                  For MySensors 2.0 the sniffer will have to be updated.
                  I might pick this one up along the way.

                          Wireshark is version 3, MySensors 2.3.1 released 2018. nrf24 protocol with old dll is not working. Cost me hours tot find out it is "Oude Meuk", and not working with Wireshark error message "dissector not found". Please @Hek and @Yveaux release working version or wipe it from the forum at many places, PLEASE!

                            MySensors protocol support for 1.x and 2.x is included. The protocol 2.x hasn't changed for 2.3.1
                            The wireshark version referenced from the blog (1.10.8) still works with the included dlls. The Wireshark devs make it nearly impossible to create a dissector that compiles with newer versions as the wireshark api keeps changing.

                            This 'oude meuk' is still working as released.

                              Wireshark is version 3, MySensors 2.3.1 released 2018. nrf24 protocol with old dll is not working. Cost me hours tot find out it is "Oude Meuk", and not working with Wireshark error message "dissector not found".

                              MySensors protocol support for 1.x and 2.x is included. The protocol 2.x hasn't changed for 2.3.1

                              @yveaux Well this is your description: "Installation As you can see in the description above, the console application and Wireshark dissectors are currently only available for Windows (anyone who volunteers to port them to Linux and/or Mac, please do so and let me know). In the description below I assume you've already downloaded and installed: Wireshark - I used 1.10.8, either 32- or 64-bits"

                              Well I suppose you meant it is only working with Wireshark - 1.10.8, that's really only using "Oude Meuk" Sorry I wasted my time, and I see too late more people did.

                                @tonbor you’ve been a member here long enough to know that this forum is a place for people helping eachother.

                                I understand that you are frustrated, but if everyone in a diy community who ever got frustrated were to get angry on the other people who tried to help, the world would be full with angry people.

                                  Indeed, helping each other is not pointing with kingsize letters to obsolete software or leaving the thread there without any warning. Sorry if I was carried away with my anger after trying for a day to get things working.

                                      Did anyone ever get this working in Linux? Possibly with Wine?

                                      Unless I missed it somewhere, from what I could tell reading the thread, it doesn't look like it.

                                        Hi, I have the sniffer and wireshark running to capture a 256kbps MySensors 2.3.1 network which is part of a working home automation setup. It does capture some packets over a test period of a few minutes but the sniffer program (in verbose mode) reports it is missing several thousand packets. Also, the hundred or so packets that it has captured appear unintelligible in wireshark. Can anyone tell me what parameters I should be using when I start the nrf24sniffer program please ? I think I have some parameters incorrectly set. Many thanks for any advice you can offer.

                                          What message do you get? The one in https://github.com/Yveaux/NRF24_Sniffer/blob/master/SerialToPipe/src/Nrf24Sniff/Nrf24Sniff.cpp#L445 ?

                                          If you see packets coming in the nRF24 at least detects the packets on air.

                                          What parameters do you use in your setup, and when calling the Nrf24Sniff executable?
                                          Did you compile the binaries yourself or used precompiled ones?
                                          Did you #define BINARY_OUTPUT in the Arduino sketch?

                                          I really need more input to be able to help...
