Need some help to start....

[mark76]

hello @mfalkvidd : thanks for quick feedback.... I have read a lot till now... but have not find all off that what you have linked... so, many thanks for that links, I will now start to read and come back with further questions when I am ready with my first "lesson" ... :-)

[mfalkvidd]

Great, good luck!

[mark76]

OK, what I have understood till now is that 1. I do not need a controler like VEGA. 2. all Sensor can be done as described here: http://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_15#create-repeating-nodes 3. all lamps and my "head-unit" should be done based on that one: http://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_15#create-repeating-nodes

Am I right?

[mfalkvidd]

Repeating nodes are good, yes. They strengthen the communication abilities between nodes.

You can configure everything without a controller, but I think that will be a lot more work than if you use a controller.

[mark76]

Hm.... So, if I am right- I has to make a plan and fix the adresses for each node... and everything else should be the same (?)
I do not want to control something-it all should run full automaticly- only color chould be changed via IR- remote if necessary... in the same it is working in my old version... do you like to see the old sketches based on manacbugs libary? to get an impression of what the system should do...

[mark76]

I have now tested some examples... but get allways failure....

In file included from MotionSensor.ino:30:0:
/home/mark/sketchbook/libraries/MySensors/MySensor.h:158:70: error: expected type-specifier before ‘MyHwDriver’

Hi Mark!

Which library do you run? Also upload the code so we can have a look.
Is it the normal motionsensor example? If so it looks like it cant find MySensors liberary.

(Line 30): #include <MySensor.h>
Have you downloaded and installed the liberary?

[mark76]

Yes, I have downloaded the last version of library- path is showing in failure... and it is the example code w/o changings...

[sundberg84]

@mark76 If you dont get it to work i would reinstall the library: http://www.mysensors.org/about/arduino#installing-the-sensor-libraries
Im not sure - but since its that line where you include mysensors it believe it cant find the lib.

[mark76]

I have now tried to re-install lib 3x.... I am stumbeling a little bit, cause I have allready a libraries folder and have copied all folders from MySensors- library folder to that folder... cause my understanding is that all libraries should be in the same folder....

[sundberg84]

That sounds right. When you open arduino ide do you find MySensors under the example menu?

[ericvdb]

Your libraries folder should look like this:

Then you should see in the arduino gui:

[mark76]

yes.... every thing seams to be correct...

[sundberg84]

Hi!
Any luck @mark76 ? Only difference from me is that you run 1.6.7 arduino IDE... but that shouldnt make the errors... Can you post a code/screeshot of all the error? (Complete log).

[mark76]

No chance.... error is only that one I have postet... Could be that the IDE causes the problem?

[sundberg84]

If nothing else works you could try download another version and try... but i doubt it.

[ericvdb]

As you can see in my screenshots, i'm also running 1.6.7 and i have no issues at all.

[mark76]

One question regarding that issue.... Do I have to tell the Sketch that I am working with nrf24? That library is very big and it is not easy to get an overview what library is doing in the backround.... But from my point of view I should define the Radio I use... (?)

[mark76]

I have now decided to stay at TmrH20 - Basis... that is working fine for me...

Thanks to all, trying to help.
