Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch.
We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)
@Tmaster I think it writes better code than a lot of code I've seen, and the documentation is a lot better. The latter, of course, is because most coders don't document.
some key elements:
good statement of work -- Purpose of the Code is key (did you write that? Good job!). This will guide the AI to write what you want.
descriptive variables
good documentation
code is independent of reading sensors up-to-down/down-to-up
I spent a couple hours analyzing, researching and writing and re-writing this and all I can say is that the AI didn't catch is, as far as I can see, if your sensors are too far apart or your magnet is too weak, you could get false readings.
You, being the author of AI directive, are responsible for for the code. The AI is just a tool.
I started my coding with assembly language, though at that time we still had to enter the binary on some machines (set 16 switches, then press commit). ForTran and COBOL were the first real high level languages and subsequent languages, pascal, c, java, etc. were improvements. AI is a quantum step. It's still coding, but you have to learn how to talk to the AI to get what you want.
Good project! Let us know how it turns out and if you had to tweak the code.

MySensors is an EXCELLENT project.
It allows for complete control over the various sensors.
It's extremely simple.
Its drawback is that it's open source, so it's unfunded and development is slow, but I don't think there are any better projects than this at the moment.
