Step-by-step procedure to connect the NRF24L01+ to the GPIO pins and use the Raspberry as a Serial Gateway (MySensors 1.x)
-
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 ? -
What would be required to get the RPi gateway up and running? Having single controller/gateway is great.
@wergeld
Probably porting the Arduino lib to Raspberry and compiling again ? -

Is the last 2.0.0-dev version (before the new 2.0.0 official release) still available somewhere ?
That DEV version seemed to still work with my Raspi GW. -
@wergeld
Probably porting the Arduino lib to Raspberry and compiling again ?Time to start reading up on converting the lib! Might have a go at it in week or so. Work is holding me hostage at the moment.
-
Praise Apple for making TimeMachine. I was able to set back the last version of MySensors lib I know was working with my gateway in a bout 1 minute.
Back in business now. Upgrading the gateway and nodes to full 2.0.0 is for later.
-
you need to port the mysensors core library.. It is however filled with arduino specifics at the moment (we have had some talks about removing arduino dependencies, but it's not made yet).
Ideally someone should make a raspberry pi port, that we can merge into the main repository, so the same codebase can be build for both raspberryPi and arduino based hardware.
A 2.0.0 GW should be compatible with 1.5.x nodes, but 2.0.0 nodes require a 2.0.0 GW.. (I can't remember the specifics in what the changes are, @tekka is the brain behind that stuff). That said, we do recommend that both nodes and GW will be updated to same mysensors versions, as to avoid any problems.

@tbowmo @wergeld @GertSanders a port is already available, see https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2759/mysensors-raspberry-port-suggestions/11 (and github)
It would be awesome if someone could merge that great work with the MySensors repo.
