    @hausinger Have you checked if /dev/ttyUSB0 is receiving any data?

    Thank you for your answer. I don't know, how to check that? The wiring to my nodes is correct, the serial port is correct (dmesg says that).
    Could you confirm, that my configuration from my last post is correct?

    @hausinger Your configuration is correct. To check the serial, install the screen package (if you haven't already done so) and run:

    screen /dev/ttyUSB0 57600
    

    You should see some strange characters being printed.

    I did a quick test here with your setup and found out that there is a bug with the gateway when the rs485 baud rate is set to 57600. With 9600 it works fine. I'll try to fix this.

      @hausinger You forgot "--" for my-rs485-baudrate=57600 in your configuration.
      It should be:

      ./configure --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003 --my-transport=rs485 --my-rs485-serial-port=/dev/ttyUSB0 --my-rs485-baudrate=57600

        Hi @marceloaqno
        Thank you for your answers. Yes, i saw this, but I did the "--", i forgot it in the last post, because I can't use copy & paste on my raspberry (remote Desktop).

        Did this configuration work on your System?
        Are you sure, that my configuration is ok? (with the "--")
        Whats the normal behavior when i start the mysGateway with debug (mysGateway -d)? If i type the starting command in the terminal, the Gateway gives me the Messages (from my last post) and thats it (not more). I can now type a new command

        I'm now not at home (Business trip), if I get home, i will try your "Screen" command

                Has anyone gotten the raspberry pi gateway to work with Openhab on the same raspberry pi? I have both the virtual and mqtt gateways working, but I can get either one to communicate with Openhab.

                  But if i start the Gateway, I only get the same messages as shown in my other post.

                  Here are 2 Pics that show you, how it look like.

                  I also tried to make the gw with a baudrate of 9600, but still the same issues.!0_1480068509863_mysGateway.JPG 0_1480068518084_screen.JPG

                      Have been running MySensors for some time now with a EthernetGW running on Arduino. To clean-up the installation, I'm trying to get the Gateway running on my Raspberry instead but something stops the make process.

                        Issue solved, manual update of compiler from 4.6,3 -> 4.7.2 enables the make process. Similar problem also reported in post.

                        Using

                        • sudo apt-get update
                        • sudo apt-get upgrade

                        does not upgrade compiler. I used instruction according to How to upgrade GCC to 4.7+.

                          @RogerB68 I had the same situation. I have removed the mtune parameter from the config file and compilation went fine. I don't know what it affects though. :)

                            I created a virtual serial port using this ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway. I can see the port in the dev folder, but when I run dmesg I do not see it listed and therefore my openhab can not find it. How can I fix this?

                              @hausinger After the command:

                              sudo ./bin/mysgw -d
                              

                              It wasn't supposed to go back to bash, the gateway would wait for new messages.
                              I'm not sure what's going on with your setup because I tested your configuration options here and it worked.

                                I created a virtual serial port using this ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway. I can see the port in the dev folder, but when I run dmesg I do not see it listed and therefore my openhab can not find it. How can I fix this?

                                @jmmorgan83 You may need another name for the port, such as

                                ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyUSB020

                                  Unfortunately, no luck:(.

                                    @hausinger After the command:

                                    sudo ./bin/mysgw -d
                                    

                                    It wasn't supposed to go back to bash, the gateway would wait for new messages.
                                    I'm not sure what's going on with your setup because I tested your configuration options here and it worked.

                                    Thank you for your answer. What can I do now? Can I check, that this port is unused? And how can I check this?
                                    Or is there another problem?

                                      FYI: I do not think the Rpi gateway works with Openhab on the same unit. I have tried both the virtual serial port and mqtt, and neither will work with Openhab 1.83.
