Door sensor Radio OK !TSM:FAILURE

Dominic Bonneau

Hi i made a door sensor with this exemple : https://www.mysensors.org/build/binary

And the log always give me this :

@Dominic-Bonneau See my response to this thread: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4515/first-tries-with-mysensors-v2-0-problem-staring-up/2
I guess you also assigned an illegal node ID.

Dominic Bonneau

Ok set I manualy set my ID to 2 and now a got the :

@Dominic-Bonneau can you post your sketch? It's hard to help without it

It fails to connect to the gateway

Dominic Bonneau

Oups... Yeah my bad I was trying something with not the same library of my gateway.

This is the sketch :


/**

I don’t know why he said no reply my gateway is in 2.0.1 like my sensor. I can ping it .. And receive data from my gateway on my mqtt broker …

Can you provide a more detailed log showing what you describe? (Ideally of both, GW and node). Thanks

Dominic Bonneau

I can I have a more detailed log ?

@Dominic-Bonneau By more detailed I mean covering a longer period.

For the sensor it's repeating the something over and over ....

Ok so i'm still not able to make it work...

My gateway is an arduino uno and my node a mini pro 3.3v 8mhz ...

i don't have anny capacitor for the radio and i could pass this afternoon at an electronic store...

do i need one for my gateway AND my node ?

on the my sensor web site they recommand 47µF but on the forum i saw at some place that i should use 100µF

??

TheoL

@Dominic-Bonneau you'll need one capacitor for each radio. So in your case two, one for the gateway and one for the node.

I hear some people use a 47uF others a 100uF. Since I've hear no complaints about the 100uF I'd use a 100uF. The bigger means in these case, that the capacitor can store a bit more power. If you're not sure buy two of both. They're really cheap - at least they should be.

sincze

@TheoL , Indeed. I use 47uF and 100uF , just the first one I grab out of the spare tool box ;-) I use them with my NANO's and Rf24 antenna.
Ow yes, and I power all from the NANO ;-)

As long as I don't add the LED FLASH and the external big antenna
I'm fine. If I use the external antenna with LED FLASH... no way that it works.
If I just use the external antenna without LED FLASH there is enough power in the capacitor to help the antenna do its thing ;-0

TheoL

@sincze Hello my friend.

If you want flashing lights as well, I guess you have to an external power adapter. use a power regulator to power the radio with the big antenna. If you have a multi meter I advice to buy a couple of these:

They're great and you can adjust the output by turning the potentiometer, but you'll need a multimeter to calibrate it. It's a cheap and easy power regulator solution, which is also very efficient (Thanx to @AWI)

sincze

haha tnx
Gues what.

I just looked in the box of gadgets.
they are ... in the box still in plastic.Let's find out ;-)

TheoL

@sincze Good luck. Let me hear of it works. Just be sure to power the buck converter externally and not from the Arduino.

Also on the back is an arrow which points from the Input through the output. But you're a smart guy, you've probably already figured that one out yourself.

sincze

@TheoL 12v attached, still no blue smoke. Let's bring it down to 3,3 for the antenna. Off-topic: Seems a bit of overkill to use this unit for just the antenna ??

TheoL

@sincze I've got some buck converters that regulate 12V to 3.3V without any pain. I use it for my gesture controlled lamp. Works like a charm.

Well I'm by far any export on this field. But I'm working on a node which I couldn't get stable. The Node crashed after 6, 8 sometimes 12 hours. I've added a watchdog, which works great, but after the watchdog did it's work some sensors on the node just couldn't work. Although I've powered them externally.

To make this story shorter ;-). I found out that it's better to always power the radio externally. For some kind of reason it consumes more power than my ProMini 3.3V can provide. This symptom occurs when you add multiple sensors to an Arduino. It took me a long time to investigate what the problem was. But my conclusion is, just don't power anything from the Arduino and use an external power adapter if possible.

Except for dedicated Arduino's that can be found on openhardware. My sensebender has been running for 4 month on the same batteries without any problems.
