@rzylius if you use the atsha204a chip, it is the single wire interface that limits your throughput. I have no figures, so best is to just test how fast you can push messages through. Of course there is overhead in the OTA handshaking as well. That would probably be the bottleneck if you use software based signing.

[rzylius]

I see in logs, that the whole process of signing and communicating to the node takes a bit more than one second. I do not know how to make a stress test properly, so I hoped that somebody else did it :) my question is if gateway will handle load by putting messages in some pipeline, or I should try to make sure that messages are fired with some spaces.

[Anticimex]

@rzylius The signing process is blocking, so it should not accept messages if a signed message exchange is in progress. But I have not tested that extensively with "aggressive" controllers.

im trying to program in arduino ide, installed board... bu when compiling it write mi an error 'The current selected board needs the core 'arduino:arduino' that is not installed.'

[mfalkvidd]

@mitja-blazinsek You'll need to install the Arduino SAMD board as well. I have just now updated the readme.

Just got my Sensebender GW and soldered it up. Adapted the serial sketch to Ethernet and it almost worked. Found some posts on this topic that helped me locate and fix my config error. Now all is well. Thanks! --edit-- added photo

And I got a Sensebender Micro soldered up and running also!! Just temp and humid so far. Too cool

Is it possible to use the sensebender board as MQTT gateway? Not Ethernet?

[Soloam]

Yes it is! I use I'm using it as a MQTT gateway for some time

First: Great work! My GW is working very well!
I wanted to know for what I can use the SD-Card.
My idea is to fetch the logs in the serial and write them to the SD-Card.
But I don't know where. Is there a point in the mySensors core where I can fetch all logs?

Forgive me if this isn't the right place to ask; but as a beginner, where do I start? How can I order this thing, or any other stuff from OpenHardware.io ? I see so many design files, I'm not sure what to do with them. Soldering the thing I can probably manage, but is there a guide available how to order the PCB, and maybe the parts as well?

Sesnebender GW can be ordered from Itead:

https://www.itead.cc/mysensors-gateway.html

Other openhardware.io projects maybe ordered either (1) directly from a link; pcb only (2) you can download eagle files and upload them to pcb manufactures like oshpark.com (3) you can purchase the final product. So a generic answer to your question is it depends :)

I do not think there is a guide here, but if you go to oshpark.com there is a guide how to order a pcb. Parts (BOM) can be ordered from Aliexpress, eBay or more reputable supplies like digi-key or mouser

Hi!
I'm trying to use sensebender GW as ethernet gateway. I loaded the stock W5100 sketch compiled with samd 1.6.21 defs but it didn't worked. I have been trying out different things and realized that it works with 1.6.12 defs. Now it's working but I'm stuck with an old version. Anyone with the same problem? Maybe I'm missing something?
Also I found out ethernet library in 1.0.5 defs is outdated. I have been trying to use stock one (v2.0) without success. Anyone has tried?
Thanks.

You cannot use the SensebenderGatewaySerial sketch on an Atmega2560. The SensbenderGatewaySerial sketch is for the SAMD board called Sensebender Gateway.

If you have the real Sensebender Gateway you should use this one

@magpern
But get this board to Arduino IDE?
