Step-by-step procedure to connect the NRF24L01+ to the GPIO pins and use the Raspberry as a Serial Gateway (MySensors 1.x)

@GertSanders cool. How often is the beta updated? Every build?
@mfalkvidd
Well, that seems to be the case. Sometimes I see daily updates, sometimes a week passes by without any changes. I selected the BETA channel for updates and since then I have seen new functionality come in on a regular basis. Not all of it is relevant to Mysensors of course, but none the less it's fun to see Domoticz is developed actively. -

Thing just purrs along. Will have to check when I get home but i believe my system uptime is approaching 1 year. It "just works" as they say.
I would like to upgrade to mysensors 2.0 library by it looks like the Pi repo has not being updated as often (last I checked, anyway).

@wergeld
Correct, the PI repo is basically unchanged. But it still is compatible with the 2.0-beta Mysensors library. -

@wergeld
Did not notice that, I can send values and "switch on" messages to nodes. The only thing I miss is the signing via ATSHA204. Even V_TEXT sending to and from nodes works. -
I have some trouble with the gateway not storing the network map, if i restart the gateway my non-sensor nodes need to send some kind of heartbeat to reconnect to the gateway.
Is this a known problem or is it something wrong with my setup?
-
Yes, known problem.
I had some hopes on @marceloaqno and @aaron832 providing a PR into development branch (so we can scrap the old RPI code). But there hasn't been any activity in a while.

https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2759/mysensors-raspberry-port-suggestions/12@hek But insted of including heartbeats from every non sensor node (trying to keep 2.4 ghz traffic to a minimum), can i solve this by using an arduino repeater node? So the repeater knows the network map and sends heartbeat to the gateway.

@mfalkvidd I did the make clean and the make install and rebooted.

Tks a lot for your answer.. It seems to look like what i want at logon..Iwill test it.
I keep you in touch! -

I have been struggeling with this for some time now. It seems my compiler is not the standard for raspberry pi? (I have a pi 2). I have used the domoticz sdcard as ground for my system and it works (a bit sketchy with random freezes and I cannot access the domotics webserver from chrome) but still. Anyway, I get stuck on making the RF24 package. Any ideas?
pi@raspberrypi ~/RF24 $ make all && sudo make install arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -fPIC -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a7 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard -Ofast -Wall -pthread -c RF24.cpp cc1plus: error: bad value (cortex-a7) for -mtune switch Makefile:40: recipe for target 'RF24.o' failed make: *** [RF24.o] Error 1 -
Has anyone used the Raspberry GW software in combination with nodes that run the new 2.0.0 MySensors code ?
-
It's not supported, 2.0.0 nodes require a 2.0.0 GW. And the raspberry pi port is not updated to 2.0.0 (and unfortunately there is currently no one in the core group that uses the rpi gw.. We all use serial / ethernet gw's of some sort)

@tbowmo
I was afraid of that. In my enthusiasm I updated to 2.0.0, but now my new nodes play dead.
At least I know why.
Time to make that old ethernet gateway functional again.
Since Breda meetup is this weekend, I will have no more time to figure this out (if I could ever, this is UNIX). Maybe after I can try something. -

@tbowmo
Is a 2.0.0 based gateway backward compatible with nodes in an older version ?
