💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway

[mvader]

I noticed the "improve rf24" section was added. and it mentioned high cpu.
i set mine up a few weeks ago and am not using an interrupt on my radio.
my cpu is only 2-3%
I'm curious if the high cpu problem is seen by many?

also a 2nd question.
if i were to add an interrupt. how can i "re-configure" my setup to include that new -switch
or do i have to remove everything and re-clone from git hub and start over?

[shfg]

Thanks for this excellent port. I'm having an issue running it as an MQTT gateway on the RPi (Model A). It compiles without hassles, but cant make a successful MQTT connection. I get the following:

mysGateway: Starting gateway...
mysGateway: Protocol version - 2.0.1-beta
mysGateway: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.0.1-beta
mysGateway: TSF:LRT:OK
mysGateway: TSM:INIT
mysGateway: TSM:INIT:TSP OK
mysGateway: TSM:INIT:GW MODE
mysGateway: TSM:READY
mysGateway: MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED
mysGateway: MCO:BGN:STP
mysGateway: MCO:BGN:INIT OK,ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0,REG=1
mysGateway: Attempting MQTT connection...
mysGateway: connected to 127.0.0.1
mysGateway: Attempting MQTT connection...
mysGateway: connected to 127.0.0.1
mysGateway: Attempting MQTT connection...
mysGateway: connected to 127.0.0.1

... those attempts recurring every 15 seconds or so, and in that time, no other activity is processed.
From the code, I would have expected 'MQTT connected' rather than 'connected to 127.0.0.1'?

I have mosquitto running on the pi in this case - which is working perfectly in other tests. Both serial and ethernet gateway modes compile and run perfectly, only the mqtt mode not working.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?

[ericvdb]

@marceloaqno what about gpio interrupts, is that supported?

I'm thinking to use a RPi as a pulse counter for water, electricity and gas with no radio, just ethernet or mqtt.
In combination with a I2C display, this could be a nice project ;)

Greetz,

Hi,

I have a raspberry Pi 2 that I've installed MyController on. This works fine, I can access it via the browser. I have also wired up an NRF24L01+ module to the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi. And I have followed the steps under "install and build", which seem to have worked fine. I didn't make any changes to the conf file. However now Im stuck. How do I setup the Raspberry Pi with the NRF24L01+ as a gateway in the MyController Gateway setup page in Safari?

[marceloaqno]

@shfg There were some reports about this problem in the past, do you see any error messages in your mosquitto log?

@ericvdb yes, you can attach a function to handle an interruption like this:

uint8_t mode = FALLING;	// Valid options are: CHANGE, FALLING, RISING
uint8_t physPin = 16;	// Choose a pin that fits your needs

void irqHandler(void)
{
	// Process the interrupt
}

void setup() {
	attachInterrupt(physPin, irqHandler, mode);
}

Support for I2C was added in the latest version.

[marceloaqno]

@Christian-Simonsen If you are using the default build options for the RPi gateway, in MyController (Resources -> Add gateway) choose Ethernet for the type and enter your RPi ip address in the Host name field.

[Toyman]

Is it compatible with pre-2.0 versions eg 1.5?

Thanks that did the trick

Hi,

Background: I have a raspberry Pi 2 that I've installed MyController on. This works fine, I can access it via the browser. I have also wired up an NRF24L01+ module to the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi. I have also set up the raspberry pi as a gateway in the MyController Gateway setup page in Safari. It found it and it seem to work.

However to my question. How do I know if the Raspberry Pi gateway with NRF24L01 work? How can I monitor what the Raspberry Pi gateway receive? Is there a similar way as the "Serial Monitor" that I use in the Arduino application, when accessing Arduino Uno via USB?

If there is I need to monitor this via OSX Terminal.

Today i tried to use the sketch Water Meter Pulse Sensor in mysGateway.cpp but i run into alot of errors, you have any idea?

mysGateway.cpp:

/**
 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol

 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

[Toyman]

I probably miss something, but why are trying to compile the arduino sketch on Raspberry Pi???

[hek]

@ericvdb

As @Toyman implies, we haven't ported the full Arduino environment here. This should mainly be used for running the Serial/Ethernet gateway directly on your RPi.

You cannot just run any MySensors example without risking to make heavy adaptations/implementation on your own.

[marceloaqno]

@ericvdb micros() hasn't been ported, use:

millis() /1000;

for sleep(), replace:

sleep(SEND_FREQUENCY);

with

sleep(SEND_FREQUENCY, false);

Also, if you want to print something don't use Serial.print() or Serial.println(), use printf() or debug().

Serial.print("l/min:");
Serial.println(flow);

should be:

debug("l/min: %f\n", flow);

as @hek said, the main focus now is to be used as a gateway, with time adding sensors will become less problematic.

I have it almost working. Regarding the interrupt, I have to pull-up to 3.3V the io pin through a resistor of 10k?
Right now the interrupt isn't firing

@marceloaqno thanks, turned on mosquitto logging and am getting this error on mosquitto:

1476724216: Invalid protocol "MQTT" in CONNECT from 127.0.0.1.
1476724216: Socket read error on client (null), disconnecting.

Tried an alternative mosquitto broker on another server too - same error.

I have it working :smiley: only need to play with the debounce value

@marceloaqno I finally have the MQTT gateway working after upgrading mosquitto to the latest build... I had installed mosquitto with apt-get under Wheezy which apparently pulled an older version. In retrospect probably should have just upgraded to Jessie from the outset! Working perfectly now (still under wheezy though FWIW)... thanks!

@Christian-Simonsen start the gateway with debug enabled:

mysGateway -d
