    Hi, interesting thread you have linked above. I use latest stable IDE 1.0.6. By the way, can you prefer using the Beta IDE for mySensors developing?

      @klim If it only works with this configuration, then it must indeed be transmit delay related :)

      I google'd a bit and see some more Arduino serial communication issues which seem to be solved by adding a serial delay (e.g. http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/28739/arduino-delay-of-1ms-necessary-between-serial-read-and-serial-write)
      There also seems to be variation over different Arduino versions.

      I use 1.5.7. Which version of the IDE do you use?

      Hmm, this could explain an issue I am having as well.
      Lately I started using 1.5.7 (and 1.5.8 since yesterday). I am not really sure but I fear that I have an issue with two sensors that I can't get to communicate properly. Will try 1.0.6 this week to see what happens...

      I use Domoticz as controller for Z-Wave and MySensors (previously Indigo and OpenHAB).
      I have a FABtotum to print cases.

          @klim @Yveaux Well, it could be a coincidence because I also moved to the latest git version but, apart from the fact that there is an issue with setting the id of the sensor, it sure looks like I have (better) communication between the repeater and the sensor now that I uploaded the sketch using 1.0.5. With 1.5.x there was virtually no communication between these two...

            Try this

            // gw.begin();
            gw.begin(NULL, 15);

              Hi guys, first a big thanks for your great work. I spend lot of hours (~15h) to get your examples running, but without success. So i ask kindly for your help please.

              I build up a gateway and a sensor node. All code is untouched example code from git or mysensors.com.
              The problem i've, that the node does not get a sensorID from the gateway.
              The sensor sends a request to the gateway, the gateway receives the request and that's it.

              gateway log:
              *0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.
              0;0;3;0;9;read: 255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0:
              255;255;3;0;3;
              0;0;3;0;9;read: 255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0:
              255;255;3;0;3;
              0;0;3;0;9;read: 255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0:
              255;255;3;0;3;
              0;0;3;0;9;read: 255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0:
              255;255;3;0;3;
              0;0;3;0;9;read: 255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0:
              255;255;3;0;3;
              0;0;3;0;9;read: 255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0:
              255;255;3;0;3;
              *

              sensor log
              eq node id
              send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
              sensor started, id 255
              req node id
              send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
              req node id
              send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
              req node id
              send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
              req node id
              send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
              req node id
              send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
              req node id
              send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:

              As the eeprom of both was filled up with 0xFF (255), the sensor starts with id 255. As all MySensor code examples are configured to work with AUTO ID, the sensor should get an ID and hold that in the eeprom, but this does not happen in my environment. Am i right until here?

              After reading some parts of source code, i've tried manually to write the sensorID to the sensor eeprom and sensor starts with sending out his presentation and sensor data. Gateway was receiving sensor data too.
              Maybe the communication is only working in one way: sensor-->gateway, but not in the other way: gateway-->sensor. But why??

              A listing what i've already tried:

              • hardware:

              • gateway:

                • type:

                  • uno (m328)
              • nrf24l01:

                • capacitors:
                • foil 100nF
                • and electrolytic capacitor (1µ - 470µ)
                • power supply
                  • arduino powered and external power supply
                  • 3.3v stable, yes
                • connection
                  • verified 100 times, it must be correct
                  • breadboard and flying wires
                • tried 10 different nrf24l01 modules
                • modules looks like this:

                • 1.3 stable
                • eeprom clear, yes - many times

              I've read a lot of forum posts, but without any answer that fixed my problem.
              I have no idea anymore what i can try as next.
              So please, i need you help.

                The gateway does not hand out any ids. It's done by the controller behind it.

                    @odark007 It would help if you specify what your problem is, include log and sketch. Repeating yourself will not get you anywhere....
