Hey;
can someone pinpoint what the "Waiting for gateway" means?

Thanks!

[John]

Sorry for the late response!

The server waits for a message from the gateway which tells the server it is ready to serve data. When you attach the gateway to your pc, and watch it in the terminal, do you see a "Gateway ready" message?

No problem :)

John.

Yes, as a matter of fact i do (via ssh -> miniterm.py on RPi)

EDIT : I Just now realized this is not necessarily the "Gateway ready signal" :dancers:
Btw is there support for mysensors from the RPi SIO pins? It would be great to not need to use the FTDI :)

[John]

Well, this IS the gateway ready message. It is an internal message the "3". And it is saying "14" which is the ready message (i should have said startup complete). I will take a look into it. Your sure using the same settings as with miniterm?

The second remark you gave. I will soon start with the driver which will support mysensors using the rpi pins. Highly possible this will start somewhere next. Already are in contact with an user who also wants to use mysensors this way

[tortoisedoc]

About the GW : Yes, same settings than the pidome server (no parity, 1 stop bit, 115200 bauds, 8 data bits); you can see it from the screenshot.

About the SPI : Great to hear! I can imagine switching from the USB driver to the SPI's should not be too much of a hassle; I wanted to have a look at the code myself (out of curiousity), but did not get to it yet.
One question, I noticed the tty used is exclusively locked by the server once it is started;
I believe it would be of great help to be able to access it at the same time as the pidome server, from the shell (say with miniterm.py), for debugging purpouses.

[John]

Yes, i will also be using mysensors that way, I will then have an USB port free for RFXCom and another one for my IR transceiver (my hub died). When available i will tweet it and put a notification here.

I will take a look into using JSSC_NO_TIOCEXCL when connecting to prevent the exclusive lock.

[John]

@tortoisedoc I have updated the serial driver not to do an exclusive lock. It is available on the build server. Currently not tested, i have no (usb) serial devices running earlier then the day after tomorrow. You should be able to debug the channel.

Anyway, data flow should be as following:
<- Wait for the gateway to receive the ready message
-> send out a request for the version
<- receive version
*remove the waiting for gateway message with the gateway version number in the web interface.

@John Sorry for the late reply;
I just managed to fry two arduino's today thanks to my stubborness to try to get them powered with a 9V on RAW. So, I am stuck until I can find more arduinos :/
It appears the regulator can only take so much incoming current if the output current is very low (3.3V in my case). Otherwise, it will overheat and bang, that's it.

[John]

Well, i was also quite busy today (doing some arduino style "modifications" to a slot car track with my son), so no problem, otherwise i had to excuse ;).

But uhm.. you are quite, how do i call it, enthusiastic.. Take your time, i will ask around regarding the address assignments and gateway ready message. If you find something, just mail to support at the project name with dot org. This is watched more closely then the forum

You mean because of the Arduinos or because of fast moving ;)

[John]

@tortoisedoc The Arduino's :x

[tortoisedoc]

@John Yeah, well, seems trusting teh internet is not cutting it anymore (up to 12 V should be supported on the RAW-in according to the arduino website). But meh! One of the two is not dead yet, I can still power it on (and it works!).
So here some miniterm.py data with the build of 8.12:
Notice the "25" in front of the 255 (with the "stable" build it was 255)!

Seems also the miniterm is not cutting it for some reason (port disconnected?)

BUT still no success yet. Node keeps on asking for new ID...next, will generate a trace dump...

@tortoisedoc
This is very strange because if data was not able to be send, it would appear in the trace log right after:
2014-12-09 13:24:07,899 [pool-11-thread-1] DEBUG org.pidome.driver.driver.nativeMySensorsDriver14.NativeMySensorsDriver14 - sending: [B@17ba9e8

When you send "255;255;3;0;4;2\n" using term the node is assigned an id?

[tortoisedoc]

@John pardon my ignorance - can I just send by typing in miniterm or is there some special character sequence to be used before I can do so?
EDIT : Wrote a python program; data is going out (TX led on FTDI flashes right after writing) but has no effect. Funnily, miniterm does NOT see the written data passing by...

[John]

@tortoisedoc I have no experience with miniterm.... Does the TX led flash when you send press the button to assign a node id?

[tortoisedoc]

Ok, got ahold of some more components and am back up testing!

One question : is the value displayed in the drop-down box correct?
This appears once I try to connect the sensor.

[John]

@tortoisedoc Welcome back! Yes that is a temporary node address of a new node not having an address assigned. You shold be able to use the assign address button to assign an address to the node. After that is done restart the node so it can present itself properly.

[tortoisedoc]

@John Update:
two things.

1. the "Waiting for Gateway" is still here, even tho the gateway seems to be correctly receiving & sending data
   
2. it appears the bluetooth of my laptop might potentially be jamming with the sensor radio signal. Is this possible? Knowing the protocols share the same radio band (2.4 ghz)? Or am I hallucinating?

[John]

@tortoisedoc Yes bluetooth can certainly interfere also (it think around 70 channels) 2.4 ghz - 2.47 +/- band. Especially the older ones. As long as the driver is in waiting for gateway mode not all the data is being send out.

Also, do you have multiple nodes asking for an address at the same time? (because of the two seconds between requests) Please add one node at a time. 255 is a temporary address, if multiple nodes are requesting a node id multiple nodes will receive the same new address.

What the driver does is when there is a gateway ready message, it sends out a request for the version number. When this is received from the gateway the driver knows which version (future usage if/when a new protocol is implemented) of mysensors it must load.

Is it ok with you to test for me that receiving only the gateway message would be sufficient for the driver to enable all sending?

If possible. could you do the following for me?

1. Stop the server
2. Disconnect the gateway.
3. Start the server with "./server.sh trace".
4. When the server is started, connect the gateway.
5. Give it a couple of seconds and take a look at the driver page. After a maximum of let's say 7 seconds it should show the version number instead of "Waiting".
6. Let a single node ask for an address, and try to supply one.
7. After the above actions go to "Settings > Server settings" in the web interface and disable debug mode (this also disables trace mode only available via command line).
8. Please send the log file with your mysensors username so i know it's you to support.a.t.pidome.org

Trace mode logging provides me with the most information possible. If all of the above is included i can take a look at all these at the same time.

P.S. Sorry for the late response, wife's birthday today.

[tortoisedoc]

@John Okay. Seems we have something here now; see the attached log here:
