    Did you connect the gateway to a controller ? or to MYSController ? You get the gateway ready message ?

    For the sensor, you are using the sketch I upload ?
    Debug mode is enable in MyConfig.h ?

    You should have some debug messages in the console when connecting to the node.

      The problem is on the uno everything seems to work fine.

      for the sensor i attached the RFM to a arduino pro mini 3.3v

      double checked the wiring, tried 2 different RFM's, tried 2 arduino pro mini's.

      uploaden the gateway to it and i get:

      0;0;3;0;9;gateway started, id=0, parent=0, distance=0

      but when i try to send something with the pro mini i get nothing back, while on the UNO I get:

      0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-10-10 s=1,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=fail:1

      So on the pro mini i get the init message, but no message when i try to send something.

        RFM69 or RFM69HW ?

        For RFM69HW you have to modify MyTransportRFM69.hand enable HW model on line 33.
        Replace bool isRFM69HW=falseby bool isRFM69HW=true.

        Nothing on the serial output of the pro mini ??

          Do you use 4.7uF capacitor ?

            Yes i have the HW versions, so i replaced bool isRFM69HW=false by bool isRFM69HW=true

            added a capacitor.

            refreshed and still no feedback after sending.

            I get a serial output from the pro mini on start. but no more serial messages when i try to send a message.

              Put your arduino pro debug message to see what happens.

              You used DHT22 ?

                Its working now!

                Gateway doesn't work on the pro mini, but your sensor sketch is working :D

                now the next thing, i get a lot of fails:

                send: 10-10-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=11,pt=0,l=11,sg=0,st=fail:GHAS sensor

                but the gateway receives everything fine?

                  It's perhaps due to the signing feature ...

                  May be you should disable it for the moment.

                  Disable the feature in MyConfig.h and replace the gateway constructor by:

                  MySensor gw(transport, hw /*, signer*/, RADIO_RX_LED_PIN, RADIO_TX_LED_PIN, RADIO_ERROR_LED_PIN);

                    Thanks! it working great now.

                    Why does signing not work? Because of the controller? or is this handled by the gateway?

                    Edit: Oh it was disabled on the gateway, now it works :)

                      Good news !!

                      If you enable signing, don't forget to change MY_HMAC_KEYin MyConfig.h !

                        I'm trying to create my gateway with a arduino nano. Attached everything and on the serial output I get:

                        0;0;3;0;9;gateway started, id=0, parent=0, distance=0
0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.

                        But nothing happens when i try to send something.

                        When I try to send something with a sensor it gets fail:

                        send: 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=0,t=17,pt=0,l=5,sg=0,st=fail:1.5.1
send: 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,st=fail:0
sensor started, id=1, parent=0, distance=0
send: 1-1-0-0 s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=fail:1

                        On a arduino uno it works fine. But the gateway won't work on a pro mini or a nano?

                          I tried the samples from the RFM69 library and they all work fine on any arduino.

                          Maybe someone can upload their library and some RFM69 mysensors samples that are working?
