Can't get sensors talking

[sundberg84]

@tekka -

GW - 2.0b
3x Repeaters (combined with motion) - 2.0b
Nodes about 50% 1.4-1.5 and 50% 2.0b

but nevermind, I will hold on to your document is finished - no worries. I was just to eager to upgrade :)
Then I will try to upgrade the gw and see what happens.

Thanks for the explanation of the messages, that helped me quite a bit. I figured out that my gateway radio wasn't working very well so I bought an Addicore version that the reviews said was a bit more reliable. It came in today and works like a champ (and it has labeled pins which is helpful).

I eagerly await the documentation of the messages. I am writing a controller in Python and with my limited C knowledge (weird, I know, as Python is a C-based language, but it's just different enough to drive me nuts), I'm going cross-eyed trying to reverse-engineer the messages from the code. Your documentation will help immensely. Just the bit you told me up there has allowed me to write most of it. Thanks, again.

@linus72982 You'll find some more information here. This is a PR (still WIP) for the dev branch and applies to the upcoming 2.0.1 release.

That's good info, thank you. Quick question if you have a minute, what is the difference between CHKUPL and SANCHK? Based on the docs, they both seem to accomplish the same goal.

[tekka]

@linus72982 No, they do different things: CHKUPL checks the uplink, i.e. connection to GW whereas SANCHK is the regular radio HW sanity check (radio register verification + SPI connection).

@tekka Can we please get your info about deciphering the log in v.2 into a separate sticky thread in the Troubleshooting section?
Thank you very much for producing it

@alexsh1 The debug log messages are fully documented in the upcoming 2.0.1 release, see here for a preview (dev): https://ci.mysensors.org/job/Verifiers/job/MySensorsArduinoLibPR/Doxygen_HTML/

@alexsh1 more explicitly, a description of the transport state machine messages (TSM) can be found here: https://ci.mysensors.org/job/Verifiers/job/MySensorsArduinoLibPR/Doxygen_HTML/

@tekka ehhhrrfmmm... Copy/paste on Android didn't work as expected.... Sorry

Hi All

I am working on the version 2 for the first time after being away for awhile.
The gateway is up and running.

8-10-2016 02:45:07	RX	0;255;3;0;9;TSP:SANCHK:OK

But my sensors is giving problems.

TSM:INIT
TSM:RADIO:OK
TSP:ASSIGNID:OK (ID=188)
TSM:FPAR

I have a 4,7 capacitor in place. Any ideas?

Changed the arduino.. not the radio .. from UNO to Nano (not the sensor but the gateway).. now it works...
